I got BC Racing BR coilovers in my r34 and I'm happy with them, good price and nice median between comfort and handling (not too harsh but not bouncy either)

cheers,

Steve

HSD HR Coilovers... =) Tops if you dont mind a bit of a bumpy ride...

same here but i got the hs springs put in them for a lil softer and im glad i did coz the ride is harsh as in my r34 lol.

I have just put a set of the same BC's in my WRX and the ride is brilliant, you could be forgiven for thinking the suspension was standard! Vastly improved handling without loosing ride comfort as the car is a daily for me.

So far, I am extremely impressed.

Cheers julz will look into the greddy's as with the bc coilovers everyone says they are good but I have read that u pay for what u get and the are quite cheap and all the good reports I have read are by people who have owned them for less than 9 months which brings up concerns about the longertivity of bc coilovers that's all

I heard the greddy's are made by BC anyways

um thats not true the rumor is bc are made by Greddy and they come out of the same factory though so far its only just rumors nothing official

just a note when you order them, your R34 GT takes R33 GTST style suspension, so dont make the mistake of ordering a set for R34 GTT.

if you are in no rush and after a cheap set of adjustible coilovers, i will be selling my mixed set soon.

Zeal function fronts 8kg

tein drift HR rears 6kg

From what I've heard, BC seem to be great for the price. Will be looking at getting some for my '34 in the future.

see but thats the thing bc's are cheap but people say you get what you pay for so i dunno i want something thats gonna last a long time

    • Thanks for the linkie. Certainly always a great deal of help when people post comparisons like these, but I think for now I'll stay away from any semi slicks. I did go ahead and order the sportcontact 7. My buddy has them on his modified A4 and he keeps saying how good they are. For my intended purposes these will probably work real well. I'll report on them once I had the chance to try them out
    • Talk about noisy. Even when I still had the Tomei under the car I could distinctly hear the tires rolling. And I doubt I ever will need maximum grip like on a track. My GTR will maybe never even see the 600hp mark and I need to get used to the car quite a bit before challenging the limits of its handling. For the next winter storage I think I will get a set of these rubber drive-on thingies that have a tire shaped base. Those supposedly really help prevent flat spots.
    • Well our climate is definitely way less hot overall and the weather can be quite picky at times. I just know that during normal road use or even spirited drives there is no way I'd be able to consistently stay in the operating temperature, and constantly changing the tire pressure would also be a royal pain.
    • Input shaft bearing. They all do it. There is always rollover noise in Nissan boxes - particularly the big box. Don't worry about it unless it gets really growly.
    • For once a good news  It needed to be adjusted by that one nut and it is ok  At least something was easy But thank you very much for help. But a small issue is now(gearbox) that when the car is stationary you can hear "clinking" from gearbox so some of the bearing is 100% not that happy... It goes away once you push clutch so it is 100% gearbox. Just if you know...what that bearing could be? It sounding like "spun bearing" but it is louder.
