Wanting To Lower My 33.....advice Needed!

[WOG BOY]

Hi all, i want to lower my 33....

i need new shocks and was recommended to get Pedders Shockies....(GSR - was the model or something).....

anyway.....i dont want the ride too stiff...and i want to lower the car.....

so would i be best just gettin some pedders lowering springs with the shocks or what?

is there a better combination of springs (ie king's or another) and shocks (blistein, pedders, etc, etc..)?

so yeah, basically need some advice.....not too sure on coilovers as they can be a bit pricey...

any help or advice is welcome...

Cheers

Matt

please read this ... http://www.skylinesaustralia.com/forums/R3...ils-t85467.html

settings and so on are done by SK <--- not a mechanic but he sure knows his lines

if you want a great daily and a capable track weapon get some of these

[evil_weevil]

agree with BLK33T

even just the springs and shocks (from the g/b) are a good first mod if you arent gonna do track days.

Ryobi tuned suspension is always a cheaper alternative..

sad.. but it was common when I got in to cars.. back when Gemini's were the rage..

If he just does springs, will it affect how his car handles say over standard springs and height?

[Free_Spirit]

just stay away from super low suspension! i had king super lows in my old corolla for about 3 weeks before i took it out. handled twice as bad as stock.

i also had pedders sport rider suspension (or something like that). it was meant to be the equivalent of lows but it turned out that the springs were standard height.

my friend has the nismo tuned s15 and it handles beautifully. it absorbs all bumps as standard yet eats corners for breakfast . are there any nismo springs (not coilovers) available for the r33? i have only had mine for about 2 weeks so i don't know that much about them yet

Yeah if anyone knows any decent lowered springs to use with r33s post em up.

and dont just say coilovers some people have budgets

coilovers arnt that expensive?

i can justify spending abit over 1000 for them

if your not going to use your car for track then a cheap set will do ya

they handle much better and there adjustable, so you dont have to swap everything if you get defected

[BLK33T]

check the thread I posted above ...

its engineered to suit aussie road conditions

it height adjustable also!!!

swaybars make the biggest difference to your cars handling if you want your car to handle better the get some new sway bars if you just want it to look good then lower it.

+ everything in there is legal even the bushes and things

best setup for your car if you are going to be using it mostly for a daily

Ahh you have me wondering what i should get now,

My plan was tein Super street coilovers when i had some spare cash, but im not going to be using it on a track anytime soon..

or do i go with the group buy bilstein stuff

[shaun566]

tien are good. but your paying for the name,

only good thing about them is you can get edfc thats if your lazy

i cant see why hsd cant do the same job

you can literally sit your can on the ground with them

still adjust the stiffness and camber.

I was told Pedders were shit... Yeah No Bull...

If ya get aftermarket shock, you are going to have a hard ass ride. My Cuscos are at the softest setting and still hard. Maybe which ever set of aftermarket suspension you get, make sure you can adjust the damping / Soft-Hardness I guess...
