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.

    • Yes, I know🙄 but the sequential is not in my budget... don't want to reduce power neither, so looks like I'm stuck in the rabbit hole🤣
    • You’ll be very upset when you bust that too not to mention the gearing totally sucks. Don’t do it.
    • Is the panel filter one that is oiled? Have you ever cleaned or touched the AFM?
    • So.... the K&N air box thingo was too big, ended up gifting it to a mate, well, by gifting it he actually supplied food and beer at the pub,  which was nice, as it will not sit on a shelf in the garage for the next 10 years I did trim up some of the existing stuff to neaten it all up and gave it some wrinkle paint, unfortunately it currently has a used and abused mish mash of different types of hose clamps, 4 big fat T bolt type (shit), and a few normal clamps of vairing sizes and brands, but..... only until the 6 constant tension black worm clamps that I ordered from EFI solutions turn up next week Currently the current hose clamps are triggering me hard, LOL Is this the final version, probably not, I really want just 2 silicone pieces, a straight bit of silicone from the filter to the MAF is easy and will happen as soon as I head into Just Jap tomorrow, the problematic part is a 30° silicone bend from the MAF to the TB that I can connect the engine breather from the head, I found that there are bulk head fittings for boat bilge pumps that should work, but until I can get a 30° silicone bend the alloy pipe, and the 11ty thousand hose clamps, are there for the foreseeable future 4 hose clamps are golden, 6 are grudgingly acceptable, the 8 currently holding it all together is just taking the piss    I've also ordered 60 more retaining wall blocks for the front yard, I mis-gonculated the height that was required to get above the base of the Photinia's (red robin's) that are the hedge behind the front fence, currently it is 2 blocks high, and about 1/2 a block short, so going 3 blocks high will be above the base of the red robin's, and allow some room for mulch
