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

Hey guys. I wanna dump my R32 on its nuts.

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;

We run our 335mm - 345mm, DMS std is 330, Tein is 320... What he said!

So apart form the stupidity of the first post. What experience has everyone had regarding their springs? Im looking at the Tien S-Tech springs.

..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.

can't recommend any springs sorry, i think kings super lows are pretty low but don't know if you can get the tyres sitting up in the guards. here are some pics though of a mates 32 on its sack. has height adj coilovers... Rb20_4valve on these forums.

    • I'm back from the dyno - again! I went looking for someone who knew LS's and had a roller dyno, to see how it shaped up compared to everything else and confirm the powerband really is peaking where Mr Mamo says it should. TLDR: The dyno result I got this time definitely had the shape of how it feels on the road and finally 'makes sense'. Also we had a bit more time to play with timing on the dyno, it turns out the common practice in LS is to lower the timing around peak torque and restore it to max after. So given a car was on the dyno and mostly dialled in already, it was time for tweaking. Luis at APS is definitely knowledgable when it came to this and had overlays ready to go and was happy to share. If you map out your cylinder airmass you start seeing graphs that look a LOT like the engine's torque curve. The good thing also is if you map out your timing curve when you're avoiding knock... this curve very much looks like the inverse of the airmass curve. The result? Well it's another 10.7kw/14hp kw from where I drove it in at. Pretty much everywhere, too. As to how much this car actually makes in Hub Dyno numbers, American Dyno numbers, or Mainline dyno numbers, I say I don't know and it's gone up ~25kw since I started tinkering lol. It IS interesting how the shorter ratio gears I have aren't scaled right on this dyno - 6840RPM is 199KMH, not 175KMH. I have also seen other printouts here with cars with less mods at much higher "kmh" for their RPM due Commodores having 3.45's or longer (!) rear diff ratios maxing out 4th gear which is the 1:1 gear on the T56. Does this matter? No, not really. The real answer is go to the strip and see what it traps, but: I guess I should have gone last Sunday...
    • 310mm rotors will be avilable from Australia, Japan, and probably a few other places. Nothing for the front can be put on the back.
    • The filter only filters down to a specific size. Add to that, the filter is AFTER the pump. So it means everything starts breaking your pump even if its being filtered out.
    • Just like in being 14mm too small (296mm) makes it not fit, being 14mm too big (324mm) it also won't fit. You want to find the correct rotor.
    • @GTSBoy Ok so that was the shops problem...they showed R33 rotors on R34 page and i did not know 296 do not fit(and are for R33) Yes i bought "kit" with rotors and pads. Pads are ok(i have GTT calipers front and rear). They have some 324mm but no 310mm. So i dont know if they would fit. I have 17inch LMGT4s So another question. Can i fit those in the rear or they are just "too" big for that?
