Does anyone actually make new shock absorbers or coilovers for 260rs series one?

Every search I have done comes up as discontinued or not suitable for super hicas models.

I know I can get bc's but is there any other options ?

Rhd Japan have a listing for twin super flex wagon for 260rs but again says not suitable for hicas models. Tried emailing them but no reply

Tein's site says they will custom make dampers for you so if Nengun or someone says they are discontniued its possible you can get them to order. I have Stagea specific springs in mine (with Nismo=Bilstein dampers).

R33 struts will fit front only, I think they work pretty well when you combine a heavy JDM spring with the extra weight of the stagea.

Rear GTR struts will be too short. I've tried it...

How much shorter? Could be good if ur after a really low stance

Just buy a set of hsd's or bc coilovers. Anything else will cost u a mint. Plus u can specify spring rates on hsd's so u can get it riding just right. I recommend 8kg front 7kg rear. Not to stiff but tightens the big whale up nicely.

Beyond drivable in the real world/bump stop love.

If you like the look of your front bar DO NOT DUMP the Autech (please) the overhang is a killer, it WILL scrape if you look at a speed hump straight on.

I'm running 34 gtr front struts with king springs lows (25mm drop on a GTR) and this is too low for practical driving.

you can specify spring rates on bc's aswell, i have 5kg/5kg, (thats the lowest they go)rides nice handles good, remember that 4 kg is something

like a 25 percent upgrade from stock already from memory (well it is on rs4's)

cheers

Just to add a bit of usful info

I used as per Sydneykids recomendations on the bilsteins shock I bought from him, R33 GTR front springs and R32 GTR rear springs......I used Kings springs approx 4kg

yep 4kg is the go, i had them with my teins, but they f**ked out and BC's only went down to 5kg, so i got them, not much worse

in the ride, but yeh if you can 4kg are always the go for stageas..

      I know people cry at the price of the Getrag 12-14k for a conversion now, but it really is a nice mid point. Not going to get change from 10k on a gearset installed.  $30k++ for sequential.   I know you run the risk of a damaged used one and parts are hard to get but as a street car gearbox its really hard to beat. If you enjoy a more traditional manual, its the choice no question.
