Lowering R33

[bugger]

I'm thinking of lowering my car.

what options are there?

[white33gtst]

there are a few options... you can either:

1. find some low or superlow springs from somewhere like king springs etc or whiteline may have some and then get some decent shocks.

2. go into the groupbuy section and get the R33 whiteline suspension package. alot of work has gone into refining the setup for the r33

3. get coilovers. nice firm ride, although they are adjustable (depending on what kind you get, basic coilovers are height and damper adjustable)

wat do you want from your car? do you do any track work? is it a daily driver? mod your car for its purpose and youll enjoy it more

[bugger]

actually is for looks purposes.

lowering the car will make the car looks better isn't it???

is for daily driving. not track.

main purpose is for looks.

so what do you guys suggest?

Cheers

change of plan.

what is the cheapest way to lower the car?

purpose: lowering

[LiQuid IcE]

change springs (eg. king springs) u can get em 2nd hand for cheaper. new they about 350 per set.

thats the cheapest way i think

^^he's right but ...

what is a cheap solution in the beginning may end up being a costly one.

substantially lowering the height of your skyline with the standard shockers in place will bring about a quick death for the standard shocks ... then you will have to fork out money to get new shocks anyway.

I suppose you could lower the car then start saving for a new set of shocks to replace you stock ones when they give out.

Also you will need adjustable camber bushes minimum to correct the bad camber angles that plague lowered skylines + a good wheel alignment otherwise you will be replacing tires every 10000 k's.

Get yourself a set of lowered springs and a set of adjustable rear camber bushes or adjustable upper arms ( <--- be prepared to have to regularly check for cracks etc if you get rose jointed ones and also unwanted attention from authorities) to start with; then start putting away some coin for new shocks.

If your going real low you may want to have the gaurds lipped and pumped to stop scrubbing.

Also talk to your mechanic and explain to him exactly what you want from lowering your car and listen to his advise ...

End Rant !!!

Hey bugger

I was wanting to do the same with my r33, but how much lower are you wanting to go? such as how many centimetres do you want to lower it by? can you give me just a rough idea.

Cheers
