like any brand, they have varying spring rates and quality.

from what I know they are very good value (ie relatively cheap for their quality) and are pretty good.

the problem you may face is if (like niz???) you get the superlows (low bastard lovells) and run standard shocks, you may find them bouncy.

guess it's the same with any brand. dont frig with the ride height too much unless you have a spring and damper combination which are tuned to each other.

must be my shockies then ... whatever it - they arent a good combo and will look at a redo before next summers cruising .... no point having the power but not enjoying it cos you dont have good "connection" with the road.

andrew .... unfortunately when you lower your car .... you do get "scrapage" happens to all of us .... the best way to avoid is to go up or down a curb at an angle. Im not sure about hardening up your springs ...... as far as i know that requires buying a new set of springs.

Lovells springs are pretty decent. Can't fault them really. I had some on my old car before I got adj. coilovers.....

....after that I had modified Porsche 911 rear-springs, they were uber-hard but were pretty dam good! Nowhere near as bouncy as the standard lowered lovells....

any super low set up springs suck

thats prolly why king springs only make 1 spring for the r33 which is set to a decent ride height but nothing too low because then you need the shorter shocks as well.

lovells are very good price wise also

i think malaga springs do them?

cant remember but good prices

    • Can u check this way it works for power supply?
    • These coils draw 10amps that what i read online
    • I appreciate the detailed explanation, think I understand now. I spent the better part of last night reading what I could about shuffle and potential solutions. I had replaced the OEM twin turbo pipe with an alternate Y pipe that is separated further away from the turbo. The current one is from HKS and I had a previous pipe that was separated even further away, both have shuffle. I had heard that a divider can be welded in to the OEM pipe to remove turbulence, and figure that aftermarket pipes that are more separated would achieve the same thing. From what I read, most people with -10 turbos get shuffle due to their size, though it's a bit less common with -5s on a standard RB26. I think Nismoid mentioned somewhere it's because OEM recirculation piping is common in Australia with -5 cars. It seems that the recommendation tends to vary between a few options, which I've ordered in what I think is most feasible for me:  1. Retune the MAP or boost controller to try to eliminate shuffle 2. Install OEM recirculation piping 3. Something called a 'balance pipe' welded onto the exhaust manifolds. I don't know if kits for this are available, seems like pure fabrication work 4. simply go single turbo My current layout is as follows: Garrett 2860 -5s HKS Racing Suction intake MAF delete pipes HKS racing chamber intake piping hard intercooler piping,  ARC intercooler HKS SSQV BOV and pipe Haltech 2500 elite ECU and boost solenoid/controller HPI dump pipes OEM exhaust manifolds HKS VCAM step 1 and supporting head modifications Built 2.6 bottom end All OEM recirculation piping was removed, relevant areas sealed off I'll keep an eye out for any alternative solutions but can get started with this.  Only other question is, does shuffle harm the turbo (or anything else)? It seems like some people say your turbo shafts will explode because of the opposing forces after a while and others say they just live with it and adjust their pedal foot accordingly. 
    • That worked out PERFECTLY! Thank you big time to JJ. He was able to swap me his stock diff. He drove all the way to me as well. Killer! Removal & install was pretty straightforward. The diff itself is HEAVY. So that’s a 2 man job.  Man does the car drive nice now! Couldn’t have worked out any better 👌
