Are they The same as RS4's.Cannot find a post about the RS(2wd) struts.Can any one help?

No, the fronts aren't the same, the rears are though.

The 4wd uprights have the shocks mounts higher up, to clear the front driveshafts. So the shock bodies are shorter.

Plus the front spring rates are higher to handle the extra 180 kgs in the 4wd's.

The Stagea section is always better for Stagea specific questions.

The sticky "Stagea Suspension" answers most suspension questions.

Cheers

Are the stagea 2WD front & back struts the same as R33's then.

Like R32/33/34's Stageas don't have struts, they are double wishbone. So they have spring/shock units in a coil over layout.

Shock wise, the same dimensions yes, but same valving no.

Spring wise, same dimensions on the front and similar rate. The rear has totally different dimensions and the spring rate is different.

So if I got a pair of R33gtst coilovers for front

They will fit OK.

S15 coilovers for the back with harder spring rates

Nope they won't fit, the S14/15 rear springs are the same dimensions as the R33's. The Stagea springs and tops are different, smaller, to make the load space larger.

Gary does the Stagea RS 2WD have the same sway bars as the RS4??

Nope

If you are serious about getting your Stagea to handle without destroying the ride comfort I suggest you try the Group Buy thread in the Stagea section, it has lots of responses from Stagea owners.

Gary have you heard anything about ISC coilovers. They are used in drift cars in the Australian circuit.

Do a search on here mate, there's lots of reports...

You'll also read what people do with them once they replace them.

No the 2wd swaybars are different diameters to the 4wd bars and different shapes. Plus the Group Buy bars are unique to Jamex (they paid for the enginering), they are often in unique sizes and have extra adjustment. We don't make them for anyone else, the swaybars we make for Whiteline are their standard catalogue line. Bars ordered today are shipped tomorrow, orders over $500 are freight free to anywhere in Australia. PM me for further details.

The Group Buy Bilsteins have additional circlip grooves added (they have 2 grooves standard) so you can set the height you want before you fit them. There are 6 grooves 8 mm apart and I can tell you the height that you will get from each groove.

    • Thanks for doing that Duncan! Makes you a good person in my books. We don't get kangaroos or wombats here. But we have bats and it's similar. AFAIK it's often the mums with a baby attached that get hit because they drop lower when starting from a tree. If you hit an animal, check on it. https://www.ifaw.org/au/resources/wildlife-rescue-app An app to get the closest wildlife rescue contact.
    • My dream is also to have a proper hoist, but I don't think it will ever happen. My quickjack is probably as close as I'll ever get, it really is very good though. 
    • Yeah we keep on in the dailies, it is pretty poor how many animals get hit and the driver leaves without checking....have saved a couple of little ones over the years. Bit of a gruesome job though, pouches generally need to be cut open because they are so tight and often the joey doesn't realise mum is gone so they are still locked onto the teat. I checked the modules in front of the DS wheel where an oil cooler should go.... There is the radar unit - that can go for race use) One of the 2 HX water pumps, the silver cylinder. That needs to be kept but might be able to be relocated But the bad news, the big computer mounted vertically in front of the wheel (blocking any potential air exit) is the electric steering computer. That is required until/unless i do a hydraulic steering conversion, and in CAD based modern car design it is not like I can just pop a big unit like that somewhere else (plus the loom would be too short anywhere else too). So, the passenger side is OK to clear out (just use a smaller washer reservoir, potentially elsewhere), but the DS no beuno
    • Well, all the best with the new camry It was interesting to hear about the UK process, it is generally a lot more streamlined here with a shipping agent looking after all the import side (noting the exact final price can still be a surprise.....) and I've used a few different brokers on the japan (or US) side, and never had any trouble with any of them....luck of the draw I guess. You mentioned you didn't get the auction sheet (understandable since you bought it from a dealer, not auction), but I always try and get hold of that because they are pretty thorough. I've imported 2x R grade vehicles over the years and both were fine, repairs in Japan are pretty thorough compared to here in Oz.
    • BTW I measured the jack I have, it is 70mm at the saddle but you only have about 700 until it returns to 150mm high at the cylinder so it is good but no magic bullet.
