Would seem to be the sensible consensus for coilovers.

After being in multiple cars with both BC and MCAs i would literally bin the BC's. The MCA's are leagues ahead.

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.

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?

      M35 Brake caliper replacement

      By Waders360 · Posted

      I've looked up the parts number (41011AL501). It's around $700 OEM. Usually our Infiniti G35 here in Canada have interchangeable parts with my Stagea but the parts number are not the same. I have looked around and it seems the JDM 2005 V35 Skyline (which is the same as our G35) has the same caliper but I cannot confirm. And I can't find a repair kit. The inner brake pads drags on the rotor, seems to be rusty piston. Thanks for the info by the way

      This coupled with 6-9 speed autos with ridiculously short gearing is why these modern shitbox cars always seem so fast off the line. If it wasn't for those things, Raptors would not seem fast. The problem we have is there is a driveability gap between a more gentle take off and a wheelspinning sideways launch. The difference between ankle flex required to achieve one and ankle flex required to achieve the other is about 0.5°.

      Yeah I think I'm also with the opposite here. It's 'hard to keep up with traffic' because in the real world I'm accelerating with 15% throttle and they are pinning it. It feels like I'm being an overt dickhead at anything above 15% throttle, so the car sounds like I'm being an overt dickhead to keep up with/get ahead of traffic when I'm really just trying to drive with traffic. There would be no issue 'keeping up with traffic' if we used the same level of throttle input/aggression to drive around. People really do just drive around with their foot nearly pinned in econoboxes.

      To be fair it's the other way around. 300kw is boring in a modern Golf or BMW. They are so competent / well-engineered / devoid of emotion that you have to go stupid fast to feel anything. Whereas the <300kw RB still makes all the right noises and it feels good to drive. Can pull off at the lights with the turbo whooshing and the blow-off pssshing and feel like the coolest kid on the block. Just don't look to the side where you'll see the bored housewifes in their shitbox Yaris/Corolla/Camry that kept up because you didn't go fast at all

      300kW is so boring in a Skyline, you'll get spanked by someone's mum's Golf with Alibaba pipes, and an email tune.
