Yes I know there is a "Stagea Suspension" thread, but it is pretty cluttered and we haven't really explored a lot of M35 suspension kit options out there, so I thought I would put together a bit of a list with some basic info and links to websites for those of us without suspension upgrades.

This is not a complete list by any means, but should serve to give M35 owners a few options.

Awesome, nice work man :O

My car is running the Nismo S-Tune, not bad at all!

I believe if I need to get the shocks redone they can replace the insides, I think from memory they are actually retagged Bilsteins.

Doesn't lower the vehicle by heaps but it definatly gives it a nice ride around corner's, the RX behind me (nudge nudge Iain) was screeching wheels around the old pac whilst mine was gripping like sh!t on a stick :)

Anyways, that is my 2 cent's worth on the Nismo S-Tune.

you were only gripping like shit because you were going so friggen slowly :O

I was awaiting a reply like this :) you are just soooo predictable flange man.

Even though I was going slow I still would have beat Andy :D

my mum could beat andy :O

anyway, there is a massive range of spring rates! i like the look of the Tein GT Wagons :)

its a shame the rears arent a 'coil over' type of spring/shock combo. i guess to keep the boot space flat and have more of it.

Do you think one of the modders could start pulling all this new info over into the M35Info thread so newbe's can source the info there first? There are other topics on here like Sat/Nav/Stereo info, intake, wheels/tyres, swaybars, towbars, interior removal and exhaust (flanges!) :O .

+1 on that, I'm all for including the flange in all discussions :O

Yeah. I will be GRADUALLY doing a few more.

Intercoolers

Exhausts

Bodykits

Yep, I'll be cleaning up the thread a bit soon and collating the info into C34-specific and M35-specific sections to make it easier for all...

I was awaiting a reply like this :cool: you are just soooo predictable flange man.

Even though I was going slow I still would have beat Andy :blink:

Thanks Stephen and Ian.

Stephen you haven't even seen my car let alone seen me drive.

Looks like a track day challenge for the best lap time will be on soon..................

This is great work....well done....

you trying to send me broke????

Nah, not trying to send you broke, but if you are just throwing away those Bilsteins, consider me calling dibs.

Gotta say that it looks like the Nismo or AiStar would be the best "bang for buck".

The Nismo's are bloody comfortable and a damn good performer.

Would love a set of those Dolphin tuned Ohlin's though :cool:

I was only revving you up Andy, no offence was intended! :)

Let me do some more work to the car before there is a track day lol

wats the difference between the ARX and RS/RX suspension?

other than height and stuff?

I think the only differences are height and stuff :)

Maybe just different springs? I'm not sure, maybe Andy or Craig can shed some light on it.

The M35 Information Fact Sheet thingie I posted up previously only covers the difference in ground clearance.

wats the difference between the ARX and RS/RX suspension?

other than height and stuff?

40mm more ground clearance (180mm)

10mm more track width front and rear.

The LSD at rear but this is not the really a suspension difference.

I haven't been able to find any other differences.

The Bilstein set for the ARX drops the ride height by about 40mm.

If the the sets are not for the ARX but for a RS or RX they would drop the ride height by 60-80mm.

Cheers

Andy

    • ok so if i wanted to go 18's i would go for 8's  in front 30+ or 32+ off set at front and the back 9 would be ok? what offset should i aim for.. then can i do some  hunting for wheel rim choices..    If i get this - will this fit all around: Size: 18 x 8.5 +37 - n what tyres size tyre should i get for front n back?  
    • Absolute f*cking nightmare. I had to take breaks constantly, and I was always pissed off when I got home. The line split in Italy on day 2 (we drove from the Netherlands), lol. Driving any narrow European town was... well, sh*t.   Appreciate it man. Here, I'll just drop a favourite from the load I took on Saturday.   I'll update here when things happen with the car, the thing is, with stock power and almost everything chassis-wise taken care of, there really are no problems. 268,000kms now and counting.  
    • Ah! I actually managed to snag a lightly used set.... that aren't so suitable for me right now. They don't work on a GTT without some cutting or creative heat moulding. I thought about reselling them myself cause I didn't want to murder them, but it looks like I'm probably going to attempt to murder them/melt them because I may as well. @GTSBoy @PranK can somebody close this thread?
    • Hey mate,  I have a set, one is slightly damaged but wont be noticable once installed.  Shoot me a message if your still after them 
    • I couldn't wait But, the black constant tension hose clamps were too thick and there wasn't enough clearance at the T/B and I couldn't get it to seat properly, so I had use a silver one there I also added some 3" silicone over the alloy bit that goes through to hole on the radiator support as it looked like it was sitting on the edge of the hole in the radiator support, I never noticed a rattle or anything, but there was a witness mark It is basicly done, and I can live with the silver hose clamp at the T/B, I will get a black clamp for the head vent though where it is attached to the bulkhead fitting  It never stops...LOL, only issue now with the shock tower brace is it slightly touches the under bonnet liner now, if I leave it it will either wear some paint off the brace where it touches, or damage the liner, so I removed the liner to see what I have to work with, with the liner removed I have about 20mm of clearance, but sadly the middle part of the underside of the bonnet is only dusted with paint and looks crap, so I cannot have that, but.... as I have a roll of Carbuilders premium under bonnet insulation in the garage laying around that is only 5.5mm thick (we were going to use it on the boys Patrol, but he crashed the front of it a few months and it was written off, hence why he now drives my old Honda Accord Euro), I'll use the OEM liner as a template and get the Carbuilders stuff fitted up to cover that dusted paint up
