Hi all, I'm looking at picking up some Tein HR coilovers from overseas for my R33 GTS25t. The seller said it fits ECR33, which I believe is the GTS25t. But on the Tein website product list for R33, there are only HA and RS items for GTR... whats the go with GTS??

Secondly because I need to bring them over here (actually, my gf will), how heavy are the entire set of coilovers?

Finally what are the risks of buying 2nd hand suspension? oil leaks and what else? Is it possible to see if the springs are worn or have lost stiffness?

Yes, ECR33 is the GTS-t.

Yes, Tein make coilovers for ECR33 - I have some in my car.

HR are the Height & Damper adjustable (I think) <-- someone correct me if I am wrong here.

They are pretty heavy - I'd guess about 4 kgs a side - so 20 kgs all up.

It's doubtful that the springs are worn - they are pretty good quality springs. You can get new springs for them if you need - either from Tein or King Springs can make to your specification.

More likely is oil leaks, squeakyness, etc. Getting them rebuilt is pretty expensive - 500-750 I understand.

Hope that helps,

      Nah that is not actually a lot. Just painting my GTR frontend and the little bits to make sideskirts/nismo flare pieces work correctly/fit on the sedan/mount up correctly came to about $7000. Is it a lot? Sure. None of this is economical. Economy would be shelling the car and buying a 2010 Corolla to commute in. The perspective of all of this is different.

      I have the re003s’ on my 06 XT Forester Turbo and I highly rate them for street wet and dry

      I don't see any issues here. I've been saying all along this is a big job, the price reflects that.  When the car comes back perfect I'm sure it will feel like money well spent.

      Remember, take original quote. Double it. Then add a bit more. It's how any project goes.

      So, I started this repair and got as far as "fixing" the holes with some fibreglass. God all those years working on boats came back quickly. I decided I'd reach out to some rust guys just to see what they would say about it. I came across a guy about 40 mins away and went to see him. He said the windscreen needs to come out, that there might be some more bits around the windscreen and he'd quote them at the time. But his quote was $300 to remove and replace windscreen and $3k for the damage he can see. He said he could respray the roof for $1200 and the bonnet for another $800 (somebody has previously rattle canned it, its horrendous). This is $5300 + any small additional bits. It's a lot, I get that and the name of one of my fave youtube channels 'Not Economically Viable' comes to mind.  I'm not being financially rational, but I've taken him up on the quote. He's opening a new shop in November with more room, so we're waiting for that. I'll leave the currently missing headliner out until then. I'm looking forward to it being fixed and having the paint looking nice again (lots of clear coat issues on the roof too). / flame suit on.
