R34 Gtr Suspension - Current After Market Ones Way Too Stiff

[maclarenf1]

I've got a set of stock V spec shocks that i could be swayed to part with if you're interested.

yeah I still think something like matts S tunes or the ones on yahoo would be the go. they have remote canisers on the front, have suitable spring rates, they also lower the car about 30mm and are great quality. they are THE bargain suspension upgrade for R33/34 GTR. they are around $2500 new so are by no means a 'cheap' shock and are made in japan. They are also damper adjustable.

Thanks for the input

will looking at some options based on, Got a quote for Koni adjustable suspension for $1700 Fitted

if i get some cheap V-Spec ones might put them on for now

I have not been happy with the koni's i've tried in various GTRs. don't know why as they make great stuff for other models but the GTR stuff has been poorly matched.

yeah a set of cheap v-spec gear will be a good starting point and if later you decide you want it to handle a bit better go for the S-tune stuff.

KOni are out in that case,

does anyone know if you can lower V-Spec Suspension "not a lot" by using different springs. i know they don't came with any height adjust. The Standard V-Spec are a bit higher and give the GTR that wired looking stance or maybe that just the standard GTR

S-Tunes got nice ride height

Just be careful with any lowering or non-height adjustable sets. When I got the car, it set at 6cm off the ground. Even once adjusted to the legal 10cm, the front lip scraped everywhere. I'm at around 11.5cm and still get the occassional scrape.

Hi.

Why dont you first get a set of springs at whatever rate has been suggested and try them on your current shockabsorbers as the japanese usually run spring rates much higher than what we use here. May save you a bundle.

yes you could buy new springs for the vspec gear, or even have the current springs cut or 'reset' (i would not advise either as a good option though).

If you want a nice stance etc then maybe the S-tune set-up is the go. it does have damper adjustment too which does alter the way the suspension feels so you have some scope to adjust to your taste. I liked it a lot in my last 34 GTR (GTRNUR has it now, maybe ask him what he thinks of them?).

alternatively if you get a set of bilsteins they have the circlip height adjustment so you can fine tune the height a bit to suit what you want.

Sorry about the thread revival, what what are everyones opinions on the cusco electronic adjustable coilovers for the R34 GTR Vspec?

Would this be a decent upgrade, or a waste of money?
