RSFOURDayz Posted July 21, 2012 Share Posted July 21, 2012 Hey.. Just looking up coilovers, i'll probably go with the BC BR's for my R34 GTT but just wondering if anyone has heard anything about these Emotion coilovers - http://www.ebay.com.au/itm/EMOTION-SUSPENSION-COILOVER-DAMPER-KIT-F-R-NISSAN-SKYLINE-R34-GTT-1998-2001-/120940699640?pt=AU_Car_Parts_Accessories&hash=item1c28a09ff8#ht_1310wt_922 Cheaper by $125 so i know i'd be best to go with the tried n true BC's but just thought i'd ask.... Mainly want coilovers to lower my car a few inches and also stiffen the suspension up for street use and the occasional track day. Cheers.

34GeeTeeTee Posted July 21, 2012 Share Posted July 21, 2012 I'd been searching coilovers as I've just stuffed my rear ones in the GTT, could get them rebuilt but I think I'll just go to the BCs... The link shows they are from a warehouse type place which means tech support or warranty if anything goes wrong is probably limited, also doesn't mention if they are able to be rebuilt etc..... I would suggest sticking with the tried and tested product Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/405262-emotion-coilovers-anyone-know-anything-about-them/#findComment-6453411 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hanaldo Posted July 23, 2012 Share Posted July 23, 2012 You guys going the BR's or V1's? Yep, BR's mate. You'd be crazy to get the V1's for the sake of $100. And that price that Matt found, that's crazy stuff!

34GeeTeeTee Posted July 23, 2012 Share Posted July 23, 2012 I love them Did you have other coilovers in the car prior? For a comparison? I've been running Teins and I was told they are similar.....

Hadouken Posted July 23, 2012 Share Posted July 23, 2012 Ive ran coilovers in other cars, the gtr was upgraded from good old stock vspec suspension. And ill tell you on half dampening stiffness, these BC BR's are more comfortable. I was also in my mates 32 with teins and far out they were stiff as f**k Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/405262-emotion-coilovers-anyone-know-anything-about-them/#findComment-6455687 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Is there a recommended dampner setting? I read some are stiffer in the fronts?

RSFOURDayz Posted July 23, 2012 Author Share Posted July 23, 2012 How do you work out what spring height adjustments before you install them, or is it a matter or adjusting them in the car?

Is there a recommended dampner setting? I read some are stiffer in the fronts? You won't regret it man, the BC's have a really good range of dampner. On full soft they are really comfortable, bit stiffer than the old King springs that used to be on mine. On full hard they are rock solid, but not as hard as the Tein's wound all the way up. I was told when setting mine up to have the dampner at the front a little bit harder, to compensate for the weight of the engine. So I usually have my fronts on about 22, rears on 15. I soften them up a bit when I go to the track. How do you work out what spring height adjustments before you install them, or is it a matter or adjusting them in the car? The way I did it was I had a basic idea of how much further I wanted to lower it when I installed them, then I set them to the same height as my old springs and then lowered them by how much I wanted. That was with everything out of the car. Then when I lowered it later I did it on the car. Takes about an hour or so to do on the car, so it's no big deal. Just getting all four corners the same can be a bit tedious.
