Righto SAU,

I currently drove from NQLD down to Ipswich/Brissy. front left suspension is now lower than the right after smashing a pot hole.

after looking at it, i noticed i have MONZA (yes, wtf?) shocks with stock-looking springs.

now, im after a full coil overs for my r33 S2 as my current set up is way toooo rough.

i have been looking at D2, but heard its quite rough.

been looking at buddy club, but never heard of them (mainly because im a ex commodore nut)

also heard the talk about pillow ball mounts? im not a guru in suspension, what is it?

but atm, i have been looking into tein super streets. i know the brand name and im sure you can never go wrong with teins.

can someone point me in the right direction as i just want a nice firm ride, without the harshness of riding as if i riding on a mountain bike with no tyres.

any installers in the ipswich/brissy area? is ozzy tyres ok? or should i go to a more suspension only outlet?

What's your budget??? Anything less than $2.5k and you're FAR better off going to a quality shock (like Bilstein or Koni) and spring setup than getting cheap coilovers.... To get quality you either need something like Tein as Harry said, of for a bit extra something like a 40mm DMS is light years ahead....

i been quoted at 26XX.00 for tein superstreets supplied and fitted.

budget not an issue, saying that, if way over the top, i might as well trade my r33 and get a r34.

but rather keep the r33 as it is a cheaperish option.

still in the search....

great response sau

If budget isn't an issue, then go DMS. For the extra few dollars they will be a BIG step up from Tein...

Their entry level model 40mm is $2989 per car set including springs, freight and GST. 40mm is a combined bump and rebound adjustable model.

The next step up (which is more dedicated track shocks) is the 50mm, and is $3401 per car set including spring freight and GST. 50mm is a separate bump and rebound adjustable shock.

The only thing though with the DMS is that with the Skyline you need to use aftermarket strut tops (can't use standard ones) so you need to allow $250 odd per pair for those.

that is a lot of money for tien SS'... =\

if you are going to spend that much, I would want a hell of a lot better than the rubbish Tien super street.

Get the DMS stuff or the bilstiens!!

    • I can see between the water jacket and cyl 3 there wasn't a hard line of combustion gas. It certainly appears that the issue is coming from there. Yes, checked the tension. All at 100ft lbs where I set them 5 years ago. These blocks can crack but generally when they have been over bored. Mine is only 0.5mm oversize at 89.5mm. They break between cylinders around the 91mm mark. No sign of that with mine. My gut feeling is the head gasket lifted a while back when the studs stretched and i bandaided it by retorquing the studs. It's finally let go.
    • My Nismo 1.5 churps a bit on reverse turns when cold, but besides that feels like a stock diff.
    • Yes, but, I paid cash and I'm pretty sure the receipt was in the bin 10 minutes after I got home Note to self, keep all receipts
    • Bunnings would have just handed you your money back on that one!
    • So, version 4 intake is on its way I was looking at these a while ago but at around $200 or more it was a little pricey for something that might not work, but, I had it in my watch list, but, I got a message saying it was on special, and I had a code thingie to use, it eventually came in at $120 delivered, so BAM, BUY NOW.....LOL I'll need to have a look when it arrives but I feel it will "look" better than what I currently have, as it comes with a PCV fitting, so I will be able to get rid of the alloy pipe that goes to the throttle body with the PCV fitting  Well, that's what the voices in my head are telling me  Oh, and this happened today Yeap, it was a Trojan, and it was cheap, so I headed back to the hardware store and actually spent a little bit more on a heavy duty,  one that was actually recommended by a plumber mate, a Cyclone one with a fibreglass handle that is actually rated for clay The broken shovel will eventually be "modified" into a short handle shovel
