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;

not many people make stagea specific parts

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 do like the look of these things (minus the ugly flat top surface with the text) https://rajabracing.com.au/product/nissan-rb25det-neo-intake/ Retains the OEM bottom runners, for that phat low range. If you want response king, maybe go with the Plazmaman pipe work, here's my old setup from a decade ago
    • Torque will suffer greatly, will try and find dyno difference on r34 with gt30 between stock and plazmaman short runner. like 2000-3000rpm power rdip at least. EDIT Green line is stock manifold, others is plazmaman short runner I also had a rb25 with greddy and q45 TB back in the day and was shit daily driving. Plazmaman top plenum with stock runner and DBW made it so much nicer.
    • Welcome to !
    • As I've said elsewhere, I am using the stock intercooler piping path in the engine bay, and a return flow cooler, and making ~250 rwkW (without any effort put into trying to turn it up past there just yet) and expect to be able to make some more, and frankly, I would be perfectly happy with 260-270rwKW. This is peak road Skyline usability territory. You go past there and, sure, the car will snap necks more when it's on boost, but it will also break shit all the time, cost a (even larger) fortune in tyres, etc etc. Anyway, I also do not like the over-the-fan pipe path, and you don't have to do it.
    • I see, honestly I’m not too fussed about the looks. The only reason to go plenum is to make the piping easier instead of the classic over the rad etc.
