Hi,

My car has Apexi lowered springs on what looks like standardish shocks.

could do with a refresh.

It is a street car, won't see a track.

any recommendations?

can you buy shorter shocks or do you just buy standard height ones and fit the lower springs on them.

Not after brand new coilovers.

Just want to replace my shocks.

cheap and decent please..

where to things like pedders/koni/gab/munro type brands fit in the scheme of things?

Edit - sorry, brain fart. Thought these ones were not available for Skylines.....actually are.

See http://www.heasmans.com.au/new_site2/pdfs/Bilstein%20B6.pdf page 164.

Bilstein and Koni are the best. KYB is next. Pedders and Munroe are pretty much a waste of time.

You can get Bilsteins locally, probably a lot cheaper than above. They come with a couple of grooves and circlips so you can set the ride height.

Any decent suspension place should be able to get any of the Bilstein / Koni / KYB units for you.

    • You should have got a Maine Coone then. Only thing is they're big. But so cool, and just like a dog. Or, just get yourself a high performance dog. That'll teach you for wanting Parkour indoors 😛
    • Are you thinking of Bens R32? I don't remember if his went through the bonnet itself, but it went through the chassis rail. Brad (RISKIN) bought it, and turned it into a track car. It's funny how anti people are of Jim Berry now. I remember when I pulled mine out (during an engine change) and inspected it and found it cracking badly. At that point in time so many people were even on SAU, were so pro Jim Berry, and that was after Bens GTR exploded his quite publically.
    • That's one of the reasons I got that breed, they look weird, the other reasons are they small, they are very vocal, and run around like they are on crack, I didn't want a breed that just sits around, these two are like kids on red cordial  My daughter has one, and it's a laugh riot, constantly doing Parkour around the house, sits on her shoulder, plays catch, and constantly runs around the house taking turns chasing the dog around, her Bermese though, just lays around with constant bitch face, and just looks on in utter disgust at the cat and dog playing together 
    • I'm getting PTSD flashbacks seeing that name again.  With my turbo swift, I got 1,500km of street use on a Jim Berry clutch before it exploded and took out my input shaft with it.
