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..

    • Drain it. I got official Matic D but you can get whatever is listed as Matic D compatible.
    • Thanks guys,  Yeah I should at least have them dynoed, at least then I know what I've got as a starting point.  The springs on these are hard as rocks. I vaguely remember Russman saying he was going to sell the shocks to me with the rocks fitted, as he was keeping the softer springs for his new setup.  I didn't click at the time but of course that was to let me know the shock/spring wouldn't be matched.  I also remember pricing up new springs around 2014-15, but, house, money etc. it never happened. So that was another reason to have them rebuilt. I have rebuilt the forks on many motorcycles so I think I could handle the seals on these easily enough, but getting the valving right would be a rabbit hole I cbf exploring.  Duncan, interesting to hear RP was tuning these back then. I might give them a call.  In the mean time I have been busy fitting sway bars. The Whiteline rear sway bar I purchased 15 years ago finally got fitted, along with the Whiteline front bar that showed up last week. Just waiting on new links for the front sway bar to finish that off.  And my spare set of advan AVS VS5's should be back from the powder coaters in a Pearl White finish sometime this week, with a set of Hankook RS4's lined up for fitting.  And then I just have all the suspension bushes to do. A comprehensive kit is on the way... Lots to do before the Ararat hill climb. Cheers guys 🍻   
    • Nice car! I’m glad folks in the US have gotten past the FnF and are buying real cool cars like the 260RS I was with a bunch of mates in Portland about a year ago and spotted a green Stagea (just a regular 2.5T AWD) parked about 2 blocks away and they were like “a what?” So I made a bet with them for a round of beers and said “ok one of you run down there and tell me if the steering wheel is on the correct side” 5 mins later the American comes trudging back up the hill and goes “he’s right guys. Ok what beer do you want?”
    • Should replace OR drop the tank, give it's good clean. Might be worth replacing that entire fuel level/pump/cradle thing with this: https://frenchysperformancegarage.com/products/fpg-s13-180sx-r32gtst-single-pump-hanger-kit-billet-hat-6-v3-fpg-089?gQT=2
