I have done some research but can't find much on what i'm after.

I am looking to upgrade the suspension in my 1989 Nissan R32 Skyline GTR for weekend use and track work. I currently have a set of Tein HAs (9kg front and 8kg rear spring rates i'm pretty sure) and am looking at buying a set of cusco swaybars unless someone says otherwise....

Basically i'm looking at doing all of the suspension as required all in one shot. My question is what do i need to buy (reccomended brands would be good) for my GTR to handle very well on the track and remain fairly comfortable on the street when i take it out. I would like to knock the suspension side of things all in one shot and not have to look back on it but i'm unsure on what i need.

Do i need to replace the suspension bushes too due to age or for better handling?

Thanks

Expect to have to go through and replace a number of bushes, Whiteline are good for bushes and adjustable swaybars.

As for shocks and springs, its really a matter of budget. In my eyes you can do a lot worse then a set of Tein Monoflex or Super Streets or a set of Bilsteins from Heasemans or another Bilstein distributor.

In all honesty, including labour, Cusco castor rods, shocks etc you will be looking at just under $5,000 :thumbsup:

Just put some bilsteins on my 34GT-T with some king springs and its fantastic for both comfort and handling. Both improved after taking out high spring rate coilovers. Its faster and more comfortable in every situation.

Maybe try some suspension bracing. Alot of people don't try this but i have heard some good things about it. Won't affect ride but when you push the car in corners, etc will be way more stable and easier to handle from what i gather. Looking at trying soon myself :(
