Superlow Springs For R32 Gts-t

[IM-32-FK]

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...

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?

[BstewyR33]

my bad, i was looking at the normal coil spring catalogue - sorry

[IM-32-FK]

How about other brands like tein or something, do they make springs that'll give me a 50mm (superlow) drop?

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

hmmm, for the hcr32's, you get a 46mm front drop and a 35mm back drop. Thats good for me.

contact kings direct, the link you provided says they have springs to suit other models that aren't listed.

[skidjap]

yea na no super lows i to had this problem but solved it by savin some coin and gettin coilovers.

go the coilovers u wont regret it

[MrStabby]

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.

[DLOOOK]

+1 standard shocks were'nt designed for a 50-60mm drop. You will be hitting the bump stops over every bump, and your geometry will be out.

[08r3308]

if you want any height go kmac springs or any ozzy tyres store and they will do it for you

most shops will do any height there days

[IM-32-FK]

will a 30mm drop screw up my shocks then too?

[BstewyR33]

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.

[BstewyR33]

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
