Lowered The Stagea S2 Rs Four S

[Unbalanced]

what is your wheel widths and offsets?

any scrubbing with the spacers fitted?

Wheels are 9 inches wide and +30 offset

Only just put the front spacers on and have taken the ride for a burn yet, so I'm not sure.

I had heaps of hassles with other aussie brands.

I found that it was easier to fit stagea specific wagon springs.

These items from Tein is what I used, also replaced the rear sway bar with a GTR one.

SKN78-S1B00 Nissan Stagea WGNC34 - Soft - F3.1 R3.8 (kg/mm).

These were for a S1 also available for S2 manual and tiptronic.

Note if you have a few more bucks coilovers or "Sydneykid's" setup with bilsteins is the way to go, it also pays to have a good offset instead of spacers.

Hope this helps.

The choice of spring rates has been discussed a fair bit in the suspension thread. The best Stag-specific 'upgrade' for tired stock springs is the Nismo S-Tune or TEIN as listed above (I've got S-Tune). There have been tales of 'not recommended' from Kings regarding using other models' springs in the rear (due to the potential loading), and then there's the coil-over kits you can get that are rated at 8+kg/mm which is damn stiff for a road car (M35's excepted).

Don't be too scared to ask the question regarding spring rates before you buy. Having the car look better (and they do) by lowering it 30mm is a waste of time if you get spat out of a corner backwards when you put 300kg of gear in the back...

I'm very happy with the S-Tune gear (Nismo badged Bilstein shocks w/circlip adjustment), but I'm sure a fresh set of stock springs and shocks would have made a big difference too!

i just installed a set of these, haven't played with the damper setting much but the ride is very good. i've set the damper to half way. the spring rates are 8kg front and 6kg rears, even though they are heavier spring rates than stock i think it makes the ride much better.
