Need Coilover Advice

[Jim985]

I am pretty new to Skylines and JDM cars in general. I recently bought a R33 GTST for 75% track driving 25% road.

The suspension in it is pretty flogged so I am looking at the following 3 options:

2nd Hand GReddy type S coiovers

2nd Hand Tein Control Master Flex for $150 more

or brand new BC BR for another $200 ontop of the tein

Which is the best option for mainly track driving?

Option 4

BC ER

unless your saving $500+ i wouldn't bother with used ones, Though if you can take them somewhere to get a solid check over then by all means.

As above, the BC BR are very popular.

Thanks for the advice, I had almost decided to go with either the Teins or GReddys, but will have to have a re-think. I figured that I would be getting more expensive coilovers with a bit of cash left over to spend on swaybars or strut braces.

Are you guys reccomending the BC's just becuase they are new, or because the actual units are superior, or both?

My recommendation is of the reviews and response from many of the boys on here. Haven't heard a bad word yet. Id also say that the Tien and Gredy, Ie Jap spec are not really suited to our roads as such. most get a 6/8 ( correct me if wrong) Spring rate in the BC's and say its good for daily driving and all round good set up.

Ill report back on my Cusco coil overs soon - Though i have a feeling the spring rates are something stupid like 18..... See how we go but

So Jap spec is setup for jap roads which are better than ours? Does that mean that they are more suited to the track? This is not for a daily dirven car, it mostly used for the track.

for the BC's you can choose which rates you want, just let them know in your order/message.

i'm currently running BC BR's at F 10 R 6, not too fun on the street but good for track work

Assuming the TEINs are in good conditon - the TEINS.

You can also get them rebuilt locally
