Its That Time

[R34NRG]

finally saved up enough to buy a proper set of coilovers, although i have very lil knowledge when it comes to these things i have narrowed it down to 2.

ive read in magazines that the "TIEN" suspension range is quite awsome at the fact it was developed for australian roads (which suck alot) and favour driveability.

on the other hand ive heard nothing but praise for the HKS Hyper MAX set.

my dilemma is that although i will be driving the car everyday, i also use it every now and then for the circuit or strip.

would anyone who owns either of these products care to share your exp?

Ill Just be Bias and say HKS HyperMax. Coz i got them on my R34.. really comfortable Ride. and absorbes road bumps very nicely. Although be a tad cautious in the wet.

could u care to explain why the bad quality in the wet?

also whats the deal with adjustments? what effect do they give when adjusted high or low?

sorry guys like i said i have no idea what these things do (i only wanted em to lower my car lol)

Well to be honest im not sure if its the Negative camber that ensued after Lowering my car with aftermarket shocks, that makes is kinda dangerous in the wet, apparently its common... But i have enuff Rubber on my wheels to make a porche cringe. so it cant be my tyres. when Adjusted the affects are very noticable. I havnt bothered to screw around with mine yet. but a friend of mine has them and he is quite switched on, in terms of understanding supsension dynamics. He's is setup to pretty much drift when he gives it some beans, but oversteer controll is brilliant according to him.. he says he wouldnt buy any other.. anyhoo, Freeway onramps are great fun when its raining..

Go take a look at the Sydney Kid suspension group buy.

Coilovers give you a good range of flexibility with ride height and damper settings. Tein have a rep for good quality in comparison to some other jap brands.
