Just wondering how much lower than stock the car sits on the BC BR's when adjusted to maximum height. I need new suspension but am having trouble finding stock replacements. BC seems to be a good option for replacements and will give me the option of going a bit lower in the future if needed?

Also, just on a whim, anyone have some 260rs/stagea rs4s stock suspension in good condition laying around, my drivers side has sagged massively :/

You would be able to run stock height if you set them up like that Mike.

Have you tried this Scotty? Only asking as the rears on my R34 are close to max height and still 1-1.5" lower than stock. Different car of course.

hmm so might loose an inch or so possibly. With previous cars i've owned coil-overs, even at their max height setting have always been lower than stock.

I would love to go low, don't get me wrong, but some of the farm tracks to get to some of the more remote surf spots have some more 'off-road' type parts lol

well im looking at jumping on the bandwagon for my 32R, going to BC BR with std 8/6 springs, car mostly used on street and looking to start doing bit more track

looks like JJR is the best choice in sydney

also looks like its available in two options, rubber mounts or pillowball mounts - anyone care to comment on noise level?

FYI - Had mine on a shock dyno after some track work as one had bled down after lack of use and they both tested perfectly... The rebound etc was all surprisingly good and close to being a perfectly matched set! So for a cheapie they seem to be a winner!

What spring rates do you run on the track and how do they feel on the street?

Do you have a graph from the dyno?

Go with the rubber mount. Pillowball is effectively solid mounting so not going to provide much vibration insulation to the body. Also pillowball is just another part to wear out.

I was at 8F 6R and they were quite nice to drive on... Smoother than my old Tein setup...

The front sprint rate is closer to 12kg on mine now...

Nope, its in my file at Road2Race, it was a pretty even graph and seemed to respond well to adjustment, surprising what a cheapie can do i guess!

I take you went to a 12kg front as the 8kg was a bit sloppy on the track?

How did that change the ride on the street?

Correct...

Its pretty firm now, i rarely use the car on the street these days so not too concerned :)

    • Given you're running a 2.8 and my 2.5 is not really like for like, I suspect there could be a bit more timing you could give it. What is the kW yield per degree you're putting through it? Here's my E85 map to give you an idea, where it was I could still get another 3~4kW per degree thrown at it.  
    • It turns out that Setrab make a fan specifically for the oil cooler which is great and I've installed it with minimal swearing. I removed my 2x 12in push fans from the front of my aircon condenser and wired them into this. My main thermo fans kick on when I use the aircon anyway and would effectively already be working as puller fans through the condensor which is infront of the rad. The push fans (understandably) didn't really do much in the config they were previously in so now they're out. Now we're on to the "Oil fan doesn't really do much either!". Yes I'll duct it next if it does nothing in heavy use which it shouldn't. But hey, the object exists and fits great and is cool. Let me have this. The car is still in the "do my fittings leak oil now? do my wheels actually rub?" phase. I did a spirited drive on them and didn't hear or feel anything. Then I got back home and noticed there were grind marks on the inside of the rims, though I couldn't see where they were touching I got out the grinder and attacked the suspects. Note: I do not know how to use a grinder. Then I realised I had dragged my new rims across my concrete driveway before I did this drive. I didn't think I had damage at that time when I briefly looked...... but remembered this occurred after I did all the angle grinding. The grinding on the wheels in some very specific spots. It's not around the whole rim for example, which lines up with dragging it across concrete more than hitting a suspension component for even 1 full rotation. So everything is currently painted and taped up and I need to test it some more to see if it really IS rubbing, but from inside the car it doesn't feel like it is. In other news I attempted to do a before and after comparison of the heads/cam upgrade thing. Dynos lie, everything is in different measurements. Here is the data from the sandown back straight. Car go faster than before. Vroom vroom.
    • Here's my base ignition. +3 correction to redline when shooting water/meth which is always on. Looking at my old ignition table, I should be able to add 1-2 degree's next time I'm on the dyno.  Let me know your thoughts. 
    • Given what I know now - same haha, but this was 12 years ago with second hand 740cc Nismo injectors in my S15 daily, I was too busy hunting elsewhere for the issue to even look at the injectors, running through some cleaner was a happy coincidence haha
    • Not a terrible idea. But if I ever had concerns that my injectors were sufficiently dirty to be causing me a problem, they would be out of the engine and onto the actual injector cleaner/testing bench.
