R32 GTS-T: How low can you go?

[MYC-R32]

Hey guys. I wanna dump my R32 on its nuts. I have the options of a few springs, and out of the following which would be the lowest...

• Kings Super Low
  
• TIEN
  
• Whiteline
  

Can anyone recommend any springs if the above arent much good? I had H&Rs in my old ride, nice spring, not very low but. I am going to change the shocks sometime before xmas as well. (car is still on a boat).

Thanks guys

Shoot, why not save yourself some money and just leave the springs out all together. Sit it on the bump stops, it will be low then. Won't go round corners or accelerated due to lack of traction, loose about 8 rwkw through excessive driveshaft angles, won't stop, chassis will crack around the suspension mounts, can't listen to tunes 'cause the CD will skip all the time and there is plenty of proof that says "low is slow" etc.

But hey, it'll look good.

Seriously, take a look here, there are plenty of tips on what to do with skyline suspension including recommended heights;

..if your car doesn't turn up with adjustable coil overs. The springs will be about 7kg front and 5kg rear - (Normal Jap AM) So just wind it down to suit. Because of the ratio 1mm on the shock is about 1.5 on the car

Have a read of this thread, it is full of peoples experiences with different brands of springs and shocks

As TT said it is pretty rare to see an R32 come in with standard suspesnion on it, it may pay to wait until you know what you have got before you buy anything. Research is good though.

I'm running on Eibach springs

320 front and 335 rear...yes it's too low and the ride is quite uncomfortable - but I can't afford a new suspension set up
