define easy ? if you have all the tools and a hoist its a piece of piss . saying that the jack on the drive way is still fairly easy if you take your time and think about things first
Fitting coilovers yourself is achievable but anyone in your drive way if you have some spanners/socket and a jack. You'll easily get the mfitted in an afternoon taking things nice and easy.

Flat ground! and car stands... The only way, and brick behind wheels, front of car then rear of car, put car up on stands (wheels removed) then use a trolley jack to take the weight of the hub, unbolt everything then throw your coilovers in bolt everything back up using locktight then repeat... easily achievable in an afternoon.

just got back from a pedders saftey check

problems found were

- worn link rods $195 fitted

- sum play in the steering rack POA

- front bump stops $192 fitted

- rear bump stops $192 fitted

- rear shocks fail $992 koni fitted

and to get rear sway bar fitted 95$

am i better getting a BC coilovers? are they easy to fit yourself?

any thoughts

Are the bump stops made out of unobtanium?

by the beard of zeus

$992 for 2 rear shocks

get a bc coilover kit in there asep bru!

stockpile all the parts, invest in 4 jack stands and a half decent trolley jack

install it all yourself or with a mate

then limp round for an alignment

(getting bc coilovers means you wont need the really expensive bump stops either)

I suggested going to a good suspension shop -that excludes Peddars by definition!

You can do all that stuff yourself (do you really need a new steering rack?) or better still with some mates (cost of a tray or two).

I prefer Bilsteins to cheap (adjustable?) coilovers but try a drive in a car with the suspension you a looking to buy and make your mind up that way rather than spend money and wish you hadn't.

who has a family and has bc coilovers?

and what does your family think of the ride?

Yep, a missus and a two year old, I was a bit worried when I fitted them. I have them on the softest setting, when fitted, my missus commented that the ride was so much better than before, much less "boaty" The original gear was pretty soggy. My 2yr old regularly falls asleep whilst driving, so I reckon that say enough.

Which ones are you going to order? I was looking on JustJap and saw there are two different one for S2 RS4

BC Racing Coilover Suspension Kit - Nissan Stagea WGNC34 & Stagea RS Four (Auto Only)

V1 Design VS Series - 30 Level Damper Adjustable - $1199

or

BC Racing Coilover Suspension Kit - Nissan Stagea WGNC34 AWD

BR Type RS Series - 30 Level Damper Adjustable - $1299

Can anyone tell me what is the difference between the two?

Taking a more than likely stab in the dark, is the first one for rear wheel drive only?

isn't the manufacturer a seller on here?

if so it'd be best to get them from him

or straight of their website

or ebay (just as cheap i think)

just make sure you say that its an auto awd stagea and you should be fine

I have the BR setup, all I can see that is different is the adjustment collars are a slightly different design, and they're gold, versus red on the VS. I would say the cartridge is the same.

I think on other models, the BR has adjustable pillow ball camber plates as opposed to rubber mounted top plates. This is irrelevant on our vehicles, and a pillowball top mount would be much harsher & more susceptible to wear.

I purchased mine on Ebay from a seller in Unzud for $100 less than Just Jap has as retail, and that was delivered to my door.

the BR type has camber tops. i went for the V1's under recommendation from the seller, they said the BR's are a bit of overkill for the stagea and the V1's would be more than up for the occasional track day.

    • Wife wanted basket things in the wardrobe in our temporary house. Thought about ripping our the wardrobe and fitting the entire IKEA set, but it's a temporary house and we want to move in a few years. So IKEA advertises this as a 50cm unit, however the actually basket and rails measure 46cm wide. Only issue was depth, IKEA stuff is quite deep, where as the builder special junk is super shallow at less than 40cm. Send it, chopped the rails, then offset the mounting holes, job done, happy wife, less shit scattered all over the bedroom. Did the same to the other side too. Also drove the Skyline shit box today, dropped off oil at Supercheap Auto. I didn't realise they only now take max 2x bottles per visit. I visited 2x Supercheap Autos.  
    • I've seen similar actually in my situation. You never know what tables are attempted to be used when the car thinks it's -99C or +200C. The fail state is not usually that extreme but you know what I mean - it was in my case though! This is where being able to read all the sensors is useful cause you see this stuff really quickly.
    • The above is very important. However as long as you keep timing relatively low, it's plausible to make your own knock ears and plausible to learn to tune with a modern ECU that can do wideband O2 correction like a boost controller. I mean if you only have one viable road to even drive the car on, learning to tinker to this level may be worth doing given you can't do much else with the car...?
    • I find the fact that the rear plate has to be bent inwards at the rear not so bad: but the front is just awful: It's like come on. (these are my very old, now retired/turned in plates) TBH it is a lot of money to fix a minor issue, the fact I said "I'll never really spend the money on doing this" is why people ended up buying them as a gift for a 'car guy' who can be hard to shop for.. for car guy things.
    • I just bent the ends of my premo plates. It even went through Regency like that after the engine conversion and the inspector (a great bloke!) just squinted his eyes and said "I didn't see that". Plates, and how they look, are just something that have zero importance to me.
