Recomended Choice For Coilovers...

[ClutchBurndout-:(]

hai guise, its official, im sick of my old tien stiff coils and im getting some new ones, i like stiff suspension, just not as stiff as tiens, slightly softer would be ideal, i have been considoring the BC racing sets on justjap, what are peoples recommendations?

the car is a dailey, but i like the suspension hard, just not as hard as tiens, the car dosent see trackwork.

which tein's and what springrate are they?

[ClutchBurndout-:(]

i have no idea, they are ye oldie ones, they dont use that spanner to adjust the height.

Ive heard good things about BC Coilovers, the BR range: http://cgi.ebay.com.au/BC-Adjustable-Coilovers-suit-NISSAN-SKYLINE-R33-GTS-/180601586734?pt=AU_Car_Parts_Accessories&hash=item2a0cb1842e

Also hit up ISC from the trader section, they apparently make some doozies also: http://www.isc-performance.com/coilovers.html

just make sure they match your blouse, sweetheart

I dont understand why people buy all new coilovers cos "they are too stiff" for 2K when you can go and buy, for $200 softer springs

[ClutchBurndout-:(]

the springs wouldnt match the shock damper rates....

plus my coils are knocking so.... springs aint gonna fix that

[75coupe]

why not just go for a decent shock revalved to suit a decent spring, rather than go for the you beaut cheapo coilovers that have a million and one adjustability settings which no one except a proper suspension workshop with corner weighting facilities and good experience can get right...

i must ask what advantages do you actually find on a dedicated street driven, is the only reason you have them because you like a hard ride? or is it just so you can change the height? im know heaps of cars out there are daily cars with coilovers but i cant justify spending 2k (for GOOD) adjustables when the way you drive on the street will never require them. i have put the money i could have spent of adjustable coilovers into sway bars, strut bars, heaps of new bushes, giving me some mean camber and caster and rigidity. i would do the same again.

how ever each to their own

I have BC V1's that just went on my car, After a bit of adjustment and playing around Im happy with the height etc atm

There pretty good on the street, I wanted to keep the car relatively driveable so went with the V1's with 8kg front and 6kg rear spring rates

Ive only just got the car going again tonight but the limited driving ive done I like them, there not soft by any means but there much nicer then other skylines I've been in with coilovers, Depends what your after really

as I said there not soft.... but there not that hard either
