Ive got Tein Type Flex on my 34... I think they are great, OK a little bumpier than your average commodore/falcon but alot better than stock....

Try THR Developments on Grand Junction Rd, they do alot with suspension for rally and Street, Plus they are a Tein Dealer...

Good luck tho if you do sell... im sure they will go quick.

Yeh im amazed how many peeps want these...im starting to have my doubts about selling them lol.

Does anyone know is it possible to just chuck new springs in there ? so i have new springs that are not as stiff ?

(sorry im a suspension noob)

[Nozila]

whats this i hear bout keeping my r34gtr stock height and now i hear that you want to lower it? LOL

Kisin... Send me a PM with some pics or email pics to [email protected] (take a wheel off and photograph) as i am trying to build a track car that will also be used on the road sometimes, however i want as harder set up as i can possibly get. As to the brand i have never heard of these before. Are they any good peoples??? They sound alright if they are damper adjustable aswell.

I went for a ride in Lees (HOtwires) car as i am thinking about buying them..... THere pretty dammn nice and firm and stick around corners well.

Anyone know of any chunky sway bars that are for sale??? I could also do with some of them to reduce my body roll.

Ill go speak with a suspension place before i decide to sell/not to sell, if i do ill let you know and take you for a spin in my car so you can see how good they are. These would be AWSOMEEE for a track car with the current set up. as i said before glue you to the road.

" Q: What is Kei Office?

Kei Office is the number 1 suspension manufacturer in Japan. Kei Office is named after Keiichi Tsuchiya the "Drift King" and Mr. Tsuchiya has a hand in the development of each set of coilovers that Kei Office produces."

^^^ found that just then...so yeh.

As i said not sure about letting them go easily, however everything is for sale at the right price. My camera got stolen so i wont have pics ready until i borrow 1 of my cuz and take pics.

*sorry about double post*

they are fully adjustable in height, stiffness, and camber, and as you can see above, created by the man himself.

[Bl4cK32]

once again stiffness cannot be adjusted, u are referring to dampening.

my bad thanks for the correction.

i would also think R34 struts arnt going to fit R33's

Yeh just read somewhere that Kei Office make their coilovers model specific which means even 33/34 would be pretty different.

[Nozila]

the coilovers you have are stiff as a corpse. simple as that. most jap coilovers are. i have tanabe's and they will require a chiropractor once you get out of the driver's seat - literally. if that description doesnt suit you, just simply sell them. 2nd hand coilovers are not expensive. just cause there designed by the 'drift king' doesnt make them any better then say tien's or jic's. able to drift requires more then just a set of coilovers. hope you get what you want for them.

In actual fact they wouldn't have been "designed" by this Drfit King, but designed to suit his drifting style! But as Duc said they are hard and thats what they are made for, "a race car"! i would see if you can get different springs in there with a lower spring rate! If you can maybe try Industrial Springs on Port Rd, they can make whatever spring you want, or even King Springs have different spring rates and sizes to suit!

Not the ideal solution. Then he would be playing with setting up the shocks, and farking around later when his handling or traction isnt right.

Sell em off as a set, then go buy something like Bilstein with matched springs.

Yeh true, It really depends on if you can be bothered stuffing around with them, I have a set of Bilstiens and Whitline or Lovells in my car, and for what it is it certainally does do the job!

It actually said somewhere that he had input in the design as well as testing them. The point im trying to make is not "omg drift king = best ever" but rather to point out that they are not your crappy chinese copy ones but proper jap coilovers.

[Bl4cK32]

If u have a look at the suspension forum, sk has mentioned (yes im bringing up sk as he is a sus engineer) that the jap shocks are twin tube which arent ideal compared to monotube..

see here - http://www.skylinesaustralia.com/forums/in...howtopic=114718

Chinese copy or not, Bilsteins (for example (im a fanboi)) will be better than anything that comes from Japan

[Pauly33GTS-t]

Yes you are correct Black, But I think for track you are better off with the common twin tube cause they can be harder (I have heard please correct me if it seems stupid as I want exact facts on this), although if you are looking for something a bit better for street I think cusco make some which specialise in streetability.

[kralster]

I've been under the impression that mono tube shocks are the best. And that twin tube are just a cheaper and less sophisicated way of valving the shocks.

Ehh my bike has fully adjustable suspension. You can adjust it in every way possible, and it's damn quality stuff, plus it's stock!
