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

      Yeh I think i'll message an old contact i had for ages that manages his own tyre shop now.. n tell him what i want n work with him before ordering..  Got this 17x9 +30 Driftteks on 245/45/17 PSR Drag Radials on the rear.. They fit well - for your reference in future - Rear guards  have been lipped in & minimal to non flaring of the rear Gaurds.

      If only it were that easy! I also needed to remove seats, shocks, brake calipers, send my car through a fence, and use measuring and ended up guessing because I didn't remove seats, shocks and brake calipers. It can be hard sometimes Can be a little more complex than 'just measure' if you want to truly measure the entire wheel through all of it's suspension travel. But if you aren't going for every last mm then yeah, you can check the space you currently have and guesstimate.

      If you own a car, and it has wheels on it, and you know the offset of those wheels, and you have a measuring device, you have everything you need to work out if other wheels will fit.

      MAJOR FUEL ISSUES 25det neo r32

      By MBS206 · Posted

      Put a clamp on your return line. I have a feeling it's sucking air, and introducing bubbles to your fuel. With a lot of fuel, less problematic. I'd honestly be redoing all the lines in the tank and clamps on everything.   Also, you've given two different answers to the same question: Asked if being followed by the police you could get down to use the whole tank, you said yes you could, so long as you keep off boost. However, you then followed this up that free revving, it would also cause the issues. I'm doubting free revving is enough to make any noticeable boost on what is likely a decent sized turbo.   So now I have to ask, can you actually drive it lightly and use all the fuel, or does it break up even free revving? Also, have you put a fuel pressure gauge on it? Can you hear the pump change noise at all when you're having this issue?
