sorry, cant help till tonight (car at home)

dont have measurements for front/rear springs either

=(

anyone?

if you get stuck install the shocks etc, and if it is too low or too high simply jack up each wheel one by one, spring clamp x 2 and tighten up, then release the circlip and reposition. you dont need to uninstall everything, just use 2x spring clamps, and do it slowly.

350mm centre of wheel to guard lip.

sk bilstein look to be set at the 3rd lowest circlip, could be the 4th lowest mark.

sorry, cant kneel to look properly, went by feel on the gruves.

if you like the car low then try the 3rd from bottom circlip gruve. should be the 350mm mark, if not then 345mm. mine would look awesome at 345mm IMO, but SA laws state that 350 is the min distance.

hey all

i need to know asap which circlips will give what height using SK's shocks/springs. Also would be helpful to know how many MM front/rear the springs are shorter...

-Ryan

The standard groove, identified by the paint, gives 340 mm front and 320 mm rear when used with the Whiteline springs . That's after the usual settling in period of 1,000 k's or so. Each groove is 8 mm apart, so the recomended height (355/345) would require moving the circlip up 2 grooves on the front and 3 grooves on the rear. If you carry rear passengers often, have a sub abnd/or tow then I would suggest going up 4 grooves on the rear.

Cheers

Gary

ended up using a lathe and getting 365 front, 370rear. i have sub/amp/dogs/mates/weekend luggage so thought higher would be better... we did it by guesswork and basic tape measure skillz... Can anyone tell me why i have 3 bumpstops?

just $20 spring clamps

they arnt mine, a mate helped me put the suspn stuff on over 2yrs ago now.

we installed it, then dropped each corner by another circlip

mind you this bloke was an employee of ASE (adelaide suspn engineering?) for 9yrs, so he knew where to cut corners :)

    • I was just driving into work and while on my drive, I went to accelerate and noticed the car would sputter/hesitate and I’d hear a few pops from the exhaust before it started going faster. Then I also noticed that when I push my clutch in, the car would die. This all started happening today. Any ideas?
    • That is a lovely Volvo, just saying. Yes I should have got an 260RS when they were cheap. I do regret now.
    • ^ lots of good points made above. The thing is, "aggressive" or "flush" fitment is relative depending on how much you have been influenced by social media. My starting point is always "look at the Nismo RWD specs". That is where you should start, then start measuring as GTSBoy as sort of mentioned, because every car will be slightly different. My 8.5"+35/9.5+38 will not be "flush" enough for you because you want more "pumped" look, which is why you measure. Tyre sizes and brand/models also make a difference. Some tyres are more chunky/square, some are more rounded. That means you could get away with more aggressive offsets without rubbing. But then it also depends on your ride height. Also depends on how much your car copped damage before being shipped from Japan. So it goes back to measuring your car yourself and determining what can work. Those Nismo specs are used bacause it's a safe spec for standard car (suspension. body) with chunky tyres. But then I put 265/35 wide tyres on R34 GT-R wheels, and currently run 285/30 tyres on 18x10 wheels.
    • Sounds pretty awesome. I recommend creating a new build thread and posting all your goodness in there.
