coilovers arrived friday, and fitted them to kylies car yesterday.

they feel firmer, but not uncomfortable, corners without feeling like its going to barrel roll off the road, but best of all its not lift kit spec anymore... it now scrapes on speed bumps, etc!

just be careful though, if you order some, specify they have a 90mm PCD rear top hat, as we got sent the wrong top hats, and i had to modify the top hats from the stock shocks onto them. (surely we dont have the first RS4 stagea with G4's??)

all up, for the smoother ride, lowered height, and better handling, it was well worth the $1399 they cost.

pics to follow shortly. :P

definatley looks the same, are they serviceable? not shure what condition there going to be in. im guessing their full adjustable? how do they rate in comparison to other brands

looks very pimpin now Kylie with it lowered, definately noticed when i installed my bilsteins the handling is absolutely incredibile and i couldnt believe a big heavy wagon could handle like it does :D

you better be making an appearance at the next WA cruise with Mitchy so we can check it out

looks fantastic.

seems a good price - is that for adjustable shocks and springs ?

Im happy with my Bilsteins though.... very smooth ride using stnd springs

For the Ohlins suspension, jippa, IMO the brand is the best in the world when it comes to adjustable shocks. definately servicable for sure. get em regassed and enjoy the ride.

:) thanks Brad..

I'll cruise along if its still here :( otherwise it may be in a supra ;)

If you sell it, make sure the new owner comes along in ur absence.

with you in a supra, and mitchy in a

madeyalook!

it will be a whole family of traiterous rocko bogans!

fronts can be lowered another 30mm, and the rears about 200mm lower :pimpin:

And Dale I will make sure I bring my ACDC album just for you :thanks:

Fuzzy it handles really well. Alot tighter around the bends. If I still have the car in a few weeks I'll give you an update. If you do get them, just make sure you check the top hat dimensions in the rear. Mine is 90mm and its oval shaped. but apparently round will fit.

Jippa I have fallen in love with her again, but I'm kinda looking forward to a two door where I can reach the roof to wash her without standing on the rims or a bucket :banana:

haah Kylie buy a gto if u wanna reach the roof easy, its about level with my stomach and im only a short arse as u know haha :laughing-smiley-014:

when i got my rig the first time it was sitting at 355mm from the center of the hib to the guard. After i swap over to the TEIN HA coilovers i raised it all 4 wheels to 360mm and its perfect for me. Not too low ETC. And the ride is exceptinally good for it . Liked it very much. O would assume that the blisteind from SK will have a better ride though. I dont know about the G4s. Should ask how many chambers and valve they have in the shock absobers for the G4 and how many valve. The more chamber and valving you have the better the ride is. Firm but not hard when you have more chambers and valves. Less chanbers and valve will have a rougher ride. Thus the blistein will have better peformance.

I have a 4wd lancruiser 100 series and i swapped it over to the blisteinf from the original Toyota shock and alot of improvement in the ride and handling qualities.

I bought the blistein from our company's spare parts supploer and he said in his 25 years experience in his field not 1 person have asked for blistein shock absober until he met me!!

    • Look for broken wire or bad connector at the motor. Might not be it, but is worth starting there, as it is easy.
    • Hi everyone, I’m having an issue with my R32 GT-R. Sometimes, when the car goes over a bump or experiences some vibration, the 4WD warning light comes on the dashboard. When I check the code from the control unit in the trunk, it shows Code 19 – ETS Motor. However, everything seems to be working fine — if I turn off the engine and restart the car, the light goes away and everything functions normally. Has anyone experienced this before? Where should I start troubleshooting this issue? Thanks in advance!
    • I'm back from the dyno - again! I went looking for someone who knew LS's and had a roller dyno, to see how it shaped up compared to everything else and confirm the powerband really is peaking where Mr Mamo says it should. TLDR: The dyno result I got this time definitely had the shape of how it feels on the road and finally 'makes sense'. Also we had a bit more time to play with timing on the dyno, it turns out the common practice in LS is to lower the timing around peak torque and restore it to max after. So given a car was on the dyno and mostly dialled in already, it was time for tweaking. Luis at APS is definitely knowledgable when it came to this and had overlays ready to go and was happy to share. If you map out your cylinder airmass you start seeing graphs that look a LOT like the engine's torque curve. The good thing also is if you map out your timing curve when you're avoiding knock... this curve very much looks like the inverse of the airmass curve. The result? Well it's another 10.7kw/14hp kw from where I drove it in at. Pretty much everywhere, too. As to how much this car actually makes in Hub Dyno numbers, American Dyno numbers, or Mainline dyno numbers, I say I don't know and it's gone up ~25kw since I started tinkering lol. It IS interesting how the shorter ratio gears I have aren't scaled right on this dyno - 6840RPM is 199KMH, not 175KMH. I have also seen other printouts here with cars with less mods at much higher "kmh" for their RPM due Commodores having 3.45's or longer (!) rear diff ratios maxing out 4th gear which is the 1:1 gear on the T56. Does this matter? No, not really. The real answer is go to the strip and see what it traps, but: I guess I should have gone last Sunday...
    • 310mm rotors will be avilable from Australia, Japan, and probably a few other places. Nothing for the front can be put on the back.
    • The filter only filters down to a specific size. Add to that, the filter is AFTER the pump. So it means everything starts breaking your pump even if its being filtered out.
