hi guys..

im interested in replacing the suspension in my R33.. its also the first time im upgrading the suspension.. which 1 out of these three brands (pedders, kyb or koni) are good in terms of nice ride and comfrot when driving around.. its a street car, no plans of making it a track car.. my car is also n/a..

here are some quotes i got from pedders & gt suspension -

Pedders - normal spring and shock $1440 supplied and fitted

add an extra $400 to get coilovers

GT Suspension - KYB set for $900 supplied and fitted

The guy said he can do a better price for Koni coilovers for under $1800 compared to Pedders coilovers for $1800.

what are your thoughts?

i fitted kyb's to my sons r33 and it rides fantastic trade price for a set of kyb's is around 400 buck give a doller or 2 . konis would be great if you was going to do some track work . and not sure on pedders brand to comment we fit kyb shocks to most cars that come thru our workshop and have found them to be a good all round unit .

if your in sa i might be able to help you out a bit

cheers dean

koni's are easily rebuildable and revalved... if in vic, TopPerformance in trade place vermont will be the cheapest by far... try for trade price :)

thanks guys for the response.. been busy last couple of days..

dean, i would take your offer but i dont live in adelaide..

i've also talked to chris from centerline suspension and he offered me TEIN Super Street Dampers.. he said if i was to spend $1800 on suspension, might as well get the TEIN coz its a straight bolt on.. instead of just replacing the shocks and springs, you get everything new..

what do you guys think of TEIN brand? but before i spend money on suspension, im getting my suspension check first..

    • A few small updates since the previous post and lessons. I decided to do a little interior light upgrade on the 110. I quite like the iilumo items, even if they're a bit of a premium over other brands. You'll also note the Stedi Fogs, that will go into the S15 fog lights as I needed to match the bulbs since I got the new ones earlier. I hope they fit as the body is quite a bit longer than your normal bulb.  Annoyingly, I managed to trip the fuse, which normally wouldn't be an issue until I located the fuse. I can't say I've ever come across this. I had lucked out that someone nearby had a spare, but oddly enough Toyota dealerships seem to keep this in stock. I ordered some to keep in my stash and as luck would have it, someone else nearby tripped the same fuse so I passed on the favour.  I also did a little service on the 110 ahead of some additional work coming up. It's been annoying that Goleby's stopped carrying this particular HKS filter for the 110, so now I need to keep them on order from Japan. I also took the opportunity to install a bash plate and number plate riser. The plate riser is such a cheap but nice fix to help really tidy up the car. I'm tempted to now also replace my headlights, on this car. Both items were from Project Aero.    I also needed to replace the rear tyres on the 110, and after trying to get it aligned learnt that I need to replace some bushes in the front end, so that's next.  Closing out this update with a nicer picture as always! 
    • Yeah mate, never miss it.
    • Any going to watch World Time Attack at SMSP this year?
    • Appreciate the correction on the "ground", that will make a huge difference to looking at this. That makes complete sense about AF70/AF71 which is what I had come down to being the issue, one of these. I'll have another look in the ignition wiring when I get a chance next week. I'll also make up a jumper wire for running that AF73 test.  ECU is fine, relay itself is fine, pump harness is fine and the pump itself is fine. I am going to upgrade the Walbro 255 anyway with a DW300 I have since I need to replace the fuel sender and I'm going to upgrade the FPR with my chasebays kit ready for new plenum/injectors/dbw, but I'll get this working first. That's why this is so frustrating.
