my personal experience with them has not been that great. personally I think they are very overpriced for what they are. some people seem to love them though. for 30 man you could have either got something better imo or saved some money and gotten something just as good from another maker.

Sorry I kept you waiting for 2 days for a response, especially one that you knew was coming;

What so special about Stagea specific track springs and shocks?

Let's break it down to the individual components ;

Eibach make proper race quality coil springs in ID's from 50 mm to 75 mm, in rate increments of 25lbs/inch from 100 lbs/inch to over 3,000 lbs/inch. So you simply select the appropriate rate from that range, nothing Stagea specific there.

The top and bottom spring seats and the other coil over hardware are generic parts and a number of manufacturers (Bilstein, Koni, Eibach etc) have a range to suite the chosen spring diameters. Nothing Stagea specific there either.

The front shock body is dimensionally the same as R32/33/34 GTR, you simply select the valving to suite the spring rates you have chosen. Making sure it has a range of adjustment that covers all possible rate changes. Keeping in mind that the front swaybar is a spring as well and so it's rate has to be included in the damping requirement. Nothing Stagea specific in any of that.

The rear shock body is dimensionally the same as R33 GTST or R33GTR/R34GTT/R34GTR depending on which upright (hub) you are running. Once again you simply select the valving and adjustment to suite the range of spring rates you have chosen. As with the front, the rear swaybar rate has to be included in the damping requirement. Nothing Stagea specific in any of that either.

Keeping all of the above in mind, I can't see any need to suffer with an unsophisticated overpriced spring/shock combo as none of it is Stagea specific.

Cheers

Gary

    • I live in Quebec. Our license plate slogan is "Je me souviens" Translated is "We will remember" as a reminder to when England conquered us and that we must never forget what they did. Long story short, BSP is unheard of here due to being an English design. I'm surprised our nazi anti english government office the OQLF hasn't kicked in my door yet just talking about it, yet alone imperial anything.       
    • Thanks for that! I did a quick Google search looked up some of hydaulic stores and didn't see it listed on the website, I'll give them a ring. Also found out later that I can buy 2 oem bleeder bolts for 10 bux and come with the washer which I might do so I don't waste the money it costs in petrol to find 2 washers (already did that lol). The old copper washes look in good nick, I drove it after taking it off and putting it back on and didn't see any  Part number here for reference if anyone needs: 14053-42L0A  
    • Piggaz had one and broke it at 470kw 
    • I'm going to assume they flipped it, as the timing setup in the AEM is catastrophically wrong. Once it is fixed, they'll likely need to swap it back to normal.
