hi guys,

anyone heard about the "standard" suspension?

i don't mean the standard suspension which the car orginally has, but a brand called "standard".

i think it's a new brand, not so many people know about it.

im just thinking to get one of this for my r34gtt.

is it a good brand? and which model should i pick (not for track) ?

cheers

A few years ago I wanted some coilovers for the s13 on a budget and I had the choice between a set of HSD or a set of STD coilovers, I ended up going with the HSD's partially because I didn't want to say I had just got some "STD's" ...

Is it really that shit?

One of my frd had one on his r33. only cost him $1300 including install.

He said it's pretty good for that price.

I sat in his car once, and yeah that it's better than my orginal one, but still not as good as I think coilovers should be.

He said becoz his ones is the r1 model, if I get the better model it'll be much better and won't be too expensive as those famious brand. He said it's more competable.

Is it real? Or any one has a better suggestion? Budgeted around $1500.

Cheers

I can't stand on my orginal suspension any more, it slant a lot when I make a turn

i used to think so, but when i went to the mechanic he suggest me to get some new suspension first...

Swaybars will make more of a difference to body roll than a set of coilovers.

And here's a tip, don't listen to what mechanics tell you about suspension, get it from the horses mouth (Brad@WAsuspenders).

      After market rear camber arm adjustment

      Then, shorten them by 1cm, drop the car back down and have a visual look (or even better, use a spirit level across the wheel to see if you have less camber than before. You still want something like 1.5 for road use. Alternatively, if you have adjustable rear ride height (I assume you do if you have extreme camber wear), raise the suspension back to standard height until you can get it all aligned properly. Finally, keep in mind that wear on the inside of the tyre can be for incorrect toe, not just camber

      I know I have to get a wheel alignment but until then I just need to bring the rear tyres in a bit they're wearing to the belt on the inside and brand new on the outside edge. I did shorten the arms a bit but got it wrong now after a few klms the Slip and VDC lights come on. I'd just like to get it to a point where I can drive for another week or two before getting an alignment. I've had to pay a lot of other stuff recently so doing it myself is my only option

      You just need a wheel alignment after, so just set them to the same as current and drive to the shop. As there are 2 upper links it may also be worth adding adjustable upper front links at the same time; these reduce bump steer when you move the camber (note that setting those correctly takes a lot longer as you have to recheck the camber at each length of the toe arm, through a range of movement, so you could just ignore that unless the handling becomes unpredictable)

      I got adjustable after market rear camber arm to replace the stock one's because got sick of having to buy new rear tyres every few months. Can anyone please let me know what the best adjustment length would be. I don't have the old ones anymore to get measurements. I'm guessing the stock measurement minus a few mm would do it. Please any help on replacing them would be fantastic I've watched the YouTube clips but no-one talks about how long to set the camber arm to.

      Heh. I copied the link to the video direct, instead of the thread I mentioned. But the video is the main value content anyway. Otherwise, yes, in Europe, surely you'd be expected to buy local. Being whichever flavour of Michelin, Continental or Pirelli suits your usage model.
