It's a real nice shock when you first squat in weighlifting shoes if you've been doing it in runners.

I used to squat barefoot until a month ago.

Got some squat shoes, they are amazing. Suit my needs perfectly and I'm not sure why I didn't purchase any sooner.

I was using the DO-WINS for a long time.

But have turned to flat shoes like chucks in the last 6 months or so.

I have 2 pairs of chucks and an older pair of Levis flat shoes of all things.... and these are the ones I lift in.

it just feels like a better fit.

For sale - one pair of Do-Wins lol

I have a few guys with the Adidas Adipower in here. Great shoe as the heel isnt as high as others

Keep them Tolga, Nina and Max have gone back and forth so often, but both are in flats now

The raised heel takes a lot of stress off my hamstrings, activating quads more, which is the main factor for me.

I used barefoot shoes before hand, 4mm flat sole, thought they were solid platform before the adipowers.

I've got no idea how unstable people in runners must feel.

The guy in the ab shot is Martin, he has dropped from 86kg to 79kg so he can lift in the 80kg class at ProRawFive, he needs the money

His best lifts this week were 220kg squat, 147.5kg paused bench and 281kg deadlift

      I am yet to see anyone ever regret a quaife or helical. ...other than drifting/skidpan duties. I kind of want to upgrade my factory helical with a Quaife (but really it's not ultimately that different, and is a MASSIVE UNDERTAKING), that's how good the hype is about them, that I want to try them 'just to see'

      D2 and Ksport are essentially the same thing and basically just generic Taiwanese manufacture. Better than ChinaBay crap, but... not top shelf. Öhlins have got to be some of the best dampers around, so likely to be a good option. It's going to get to the point though where I suggest you buy from Oz. We have at least 2x excellent options here. If I were you though, I'd be talking to KW about doing something for the R33. There's bugger all difference between that and the 32. In GTR land, anyway.

      KW only offers a set for the R32 GTR. Popular options are D2 racing, Ksport or Öhlins. I have a D2 Racing coilover set, though I don't know for sure which one.

      Well, the good news is you have more than one very good option for new coilovers in and around your country. Worth the drive over to KW to talk about GTR stuff.

      Fair enough, I am in no way a tire expert so I'm not familiar with all the terms and conditions. I'll definitely note down the AD09 to potentially try in the future. Rain is not too big of a concern for now as I will probably only drive in the rain when I have to. And considering I still lack experience driving the GTR I'd more than likely take it easy too. I have coilovers in the car but as I barely got to drive so far I never bothered to even check if they are adjustable haha. The suspension is almost entirely old and worn as well so I suppose when I eventually fix that in the future that would make a huge difference.
