Coilovers To Sk's Suspension

[smoothR33]

Hi all, I currently have hks coilovers in my R33 gts-t. I am sick of the very hard ride and i would like to install SK's suspension kit. I was wondering if I have to buy anything apart from the kit, for example standard struts because these have been replaced with the coilovers. Thanks.

nope nothing else needed. actually, you may need to get some standard upper spring seats. unless you can fit your HKS ones.

Will I need to get standard top and bottom spring seats for the front and back?

You will need upper spring seats (strut tops). I assume you have rectangular coils as you have said coilovers. You may be able to buy an adapter to use your strut tops, but I would recommend just finding some 2nd hand strut tops, or even just a whole set of standard struts for $200 or so.

The Bilsteins come with a lower spring seat so you dont need to worry about that

Salad is correct, you will need standard strut tops, front and rear. I do have a set of standard R33 strut tops that you can use. Sorry I don't have any rears though.

Not sure if this is a help but I have r31 rear strut tops (just the hats?). They may or may not be the same as r33. If they are and you want em gimme a PM.

the unfortunate problem is finding someone to sell you just the strut top..

i sheared the bolt off one strut top once and no one would sell me just the top. i have to buy a whole rear standard shock to get it justjap were great though and i had it the next day and i'm in a different state!

I keep spare studs for strut tops, they lock up frequently.
