Currently, my r32 is stock height and for a while ive been wanting it to lower the car. Well, over the past few days, ive been calling up a few places and ive been told that you cant get SuperLow springs for a r32 skyline gts-t. Is this true?

Both jax and pedders told me they can only do a 30mm drop, which isnt much. Where can i go lower? here is a pic of my car...

or take it to a mechanic and get them to lower it for you

Their is no superlow or ultra low king springs for ANY nissan car, check out the cataloge yourself. Why is this???

page 19, Nissan skyline R32 - KDFL-101 fronts & KDRL-102 rear

not sure why its comming up as not having any

or as i said in my previous post, speak to a mechanic and see what they can get

i was talking about the 2009 king spring super/ultra low catalogue. Heres the link:

http://www.kingsprings.com.au/catalogue/Ki...ue%20040203.pdf

only 4 pages, where did you get page 19 from?

but if your trying to drop down that far, why dont you get coilovers?

i dare say you'll end up farking your struts lowering that much on the street

Dude are you aware of all the bad stuff that happens when you lower alot?

- smashed up shocks (check out SKs thread)

- you wont be able to align it usefully anymore so your tyre life is down the toilet (unless you shell out on adjustable bushes/arms)

- handling stuffed

The above statements are oversimplified - just do your homework :)

what are you talking about??

you get MUCH better handling if your lower your car, springs or coilovers... you got a GTR but u got the intellect of a honda ricer. Oh, and about the smashed up shocks? Yeh, maybe in 20 years my shocks will go :)

LOL mate he's right. Seems that you are the Honda ricer. It's common knowledge superlows on stock shocks handle like absolute shit. Do ur research.

eventually

thats why if u went coilovers, both strut & springs are designed for that sort of punishment,

stock suspension is designed for pure stock standards (as far as ride height goes) when you go lowering it, like whats said above, you'll be having all sorts of problems

just go coilovers

honestly man, coilovers cost too much. A set of used ones will cost me about $1000+. Also, im not trying to turn my skyline into a track car.

true about coilovers being pricey, but you can still get street ridable coilovers (they arent just for track) all depends on the spring rate/tube design

say you spend 300 on springs (if you can find king springs), + the labour to fit them might take it up somewhere around 600-700 (not sure on what sydney prices are for labour) then once your struts have a blow out & the other associated problems that go along with it, then replace your struts & fix those associated problems.. you're up near the 1000-1500 mark (labour inclusive)

to give you an idea - i was quoted 1200-1300 for king springs (30mm) & new struts fitted, for something that would have been a medioca ride, the same place suggested a set of coilovers they would do for 1600-1700 fitted - this is on a 4 door R33, basically told them i wanted the ride as comfortable as possible while still being able to drop the car and not have it bottom out over every shit peice of road up here in brisbane

    • Why are you so adamant on going M12? Why not follow Brad (GTSBoy) suggestion. You're talking moving from a 1/8" size, to a 1/2" effectively. 4 times bigger. Why skip the commonly available sizes in between? The bigger you go, the more likely you are to strip the threads out at a later date, as guaranteed, someone will put a huge spanner on the M12 and really tighten it up, and you're only in thin wall, so not a lot of threads to engage!
    • Hi. Yeah thanks. Car is already at tuners and it staying there to resolve "many" issues they do not like. So it is in a good hands. Getting a good tune on that Nistune ECU too so the car would be good. Just needs a little tune up and love.
    • Probably gonna remove manifold and turbo. I’m not sure if I can get M12 x 1.5 air tight. Could use high temp Loctite 246 or something similar, but I don’t know. Maybe it’s just best to remove everything again and weld an 1/8NPT on there instead.
    • Yeah, saw the ratios, not impressed. Would like the punch I have in the first gears now. With those ratios it won't be the same.  Also want the h pattern gearing, or at least a quiet gear set that don't need to come apart for service each year. Looks like the only "reasonable" way Is a 8hp70 transmission, but where is the fun in that🤷‍♂️
