Get adjustable coilovers, and a computer so you don't have to use your iPhone!

[JayM35]

Get adjustable coilovers,

For the price, I don't think adjustable suspension is always what's needed.

Sure, they're handy for the adjustability, but really who adjusts theirs often enough? Every set i've had has stayed at the lowest point lol. Except in the RX7, but slightly different application to a road car.

You can pick up lowering springs for under $300nzd these days, plus replacement Koni/KYB shocks aren't that expensive...

And really, they had no listings for V35 King Springs? I've priced them up through Repco...

V35 springs may well be too soft at the back, mine were. The fronts were too low for everyday driving, I had to put a spacer above the spring. The BC's cost me $1200, not much more than a set of V35 King springs cost and I can set them up however I want.

Geez, what you paying for springs then?

From Repco, King Springs are $140NZD a pair. Cobra a little cheaper but sag.

I think I paid $350au a pair for the kings on my Soarer, that was a while ago though. I cant imagine they are $100 now, we get ripped over here for most parts. Still, my point is the V35 rear spring rates aren't suited to our wagons.

Suited to who's liking?

I really should stay away from posting here... The info is very helpful, but the people are much to opposite.. I'm looking for the lowest, most unpractical, clunking, banging, scraping M35 there is... lol

[ironpaw]

Ha my car was like that a few weeks ago...

[Sunkist]

but i know what you are talking about. mines scraped on everything it could possibly scrape..

[rssubaru]

Bc coilovers for me. thank for the info guys . lower it get her some rims. thinking 18 inch gramlights at the moment .

[rssubaru]

Hello all ive read a few things about staggered fitment . would 8s on the front with 8.5 rear width rims with even tyres cause a problem with torque split. cheers

You need to look at the tyre charts for your particular tyre - if you use a wider tyre with a lower profile the rolling diameter (which is what matters) may be able to be equalised front and rear.

e.g. (and I haven't checked to see if this works) Front 8in 235 45 17 Rear 8.5in 255 40 17 may be close enough. If you use the same sized tyres the rears will be a little more stretched and the height reduced - you might get away with it but I wouldn't risk it.
