After 2 years of waiting and stockpiling parts, redid most of the suspension setup (Coils, arms, braces, swaybars, endlinks, bushings, wheels, tyres, rotors, lines, pads) for the skyline coupe W

Mayo, you say you don't want too low, and then say a 1"-2" drop is nice. Let me guarantee you that if you have crap roads like we do here in Adelaide, then a 2" drop is WAY too much and you will bottom out your front bar lip (if you have a Nismo copy one like mine) and exhaust on everything. I am so jacked off at my springs that I am going to go back to 350Z springs when I come across some.

I wasn't to sure how much drop I would get with some of the set ups I was looking at. So the 1-2 inch drop was a guesstimate. I don't want to go back breaking low, so if you say 2" is like that then I will take your word for it and aim a little higher (pun intended.lol). Like the 350Z springs you also have your eye put for. Thanks for the advice.

Precicely why i'm only going for a 1.1'' drop, roads in this town are disgusting. Pot holes the size of the road. I think the car is low enough from stock, but since i'm putting 20's and shit i need to go lower to avoid 4x4 spec.

Tyler- I reckon you should get some Eibach pro kits, 1.1'' would be a nice drop. I know a bloke in the states with the same wheel + tyre specs and same springs as me and it looks perfect not crazy low but not 4x4 spec.

I think I was just lucky to come across this. I had been looking for like 6months. Grade 5 import made it a done deal.

Thanks guys for all the kind words and advice

Cool cool, i've been thinking about getting one but i don't think i can justify the $300 odd for something i would hardly use. My mates got one and he brings it along to all our cruises and it's really impressive the quality that comes from such a small recording device!

Agree Sean thats why i borrowed this one, the quality of the video is awesome. Next time i'll mount it on the inside of the windscreen to reduce wind noise and hear the full roar of my intake better :yes:

Haha true, yeah my buddy always has one on his Midnight purple R34 GTR (sex on wheels) he loves it but the down side is apparently it takes ages to upload the footage. But damn it's good quality and it's cool seeing our cars from different perspectives.

I've got Eibach pro kits waiting to go on 1.1'' drop all round which will be perfect for me as a daily drive. S-Techs i think go lower to a 1.5'' drop roughly same price. I am investing in coils soon though.

^ what he said about S.Tech haha,I have that on mine and can't go over a speedbump straight on,need to take it on an angle =P.

This is my opinion but if your going to lower it is a distance that is noticeable. Spend all that money for a 1/2inch drop is a waste and poi tless too.

I don't think $220 for a set of springs that will drop me 1.1'' all round is a waste of money, particularly how bad the roads are up here. If i were to drop it anymore i'd have to start buying a bunch of front bumpers so i can replace it every time i destroy one on a driveway//normal bit of road..

Also the fact that i know 1.1'' is a nice drop and has a little bit of wheel gap.

I bought some EBC which SHOULD go on my car(i have GT but it has GTT brakes) but it does not fit, Brakes are "too" small(296mm) Are 310mm be good or? I have 17 inch wheel so no "big boys" but for me driving i just need one that fits and i can get here in EU/Czech.

      Hey. Very valuable information about pitwork, I will pay attention when buying any consumable parts 🙏 As for the carpets - I got a handful of information from nengun, from which it appears that indeed the carpets for the driver's side are OEM. They are not able to show me any pictures due to the long chain of different sales entities but after I place the order, as soon as the goods arrive at the nengun warehouse from which they will send the shipment to me they can send me photos and if my purchase differs from OEM I can immediately return it / cancel the purchase. I think I will give it a try 😉. Of course i'll let you know what's what as soon as i get them P.s. I know the topic is not relevant to the thread, but both nengun and amayama have these SICK 😍 trunk room lamps available. Do you know anyone who ordered them? I need to have one in my car
