[james32gtr]

Hi guys would like some advice what brands of suspension people think is best.

Going to used mainly for street use.

Thanks James

I was thinking his hipper max 3 sport set up, has anyone used this?

Cusco zero 2E??

Bilstein B6 + low Kings Springs.

Proper dampers at reasonable price >> cheap coilovers or not so cheap coilovers.

Got a couple of grand to spend

Like gtr owners haven't heard that before.

This forum has been around for over 11 years. Before that, we were on SkylinesDownUnder. How come, in all that time, not one member has ever asked about suspension for a 32 GT-R?

[james32gtr]

Just thought I'd start a new one instead of scrolling through and not getting the answers. So I'm guessing Bilstein is a big favourite!

I have some DMS 50mm for $2k if you're interested mate. S/h of course but more like $4k new.

I'm very happy with my Bilstein setups (race car and stagea), both were specifically setup for the purpose by a suspension engineer with good skyline experience. If you come across any of the Sydneykid revolved Bilsteins for road use grab them.

Having said that, the DMS that Matt posted above are the bargain of the century, so if you have $2k grab them now. They are an excellent setup, particularly for tarmac rally but would also be suitable either as is, or with minor revalving for road use. Also fully supported and rebuildable in Aus.

Unless you need to go cheap, stay away from the bottom of the market, they are almost always poor quality twin tube shocks and very hard springs. Yes you can lower your car and get hectic stance bro, but you will hurt your handling in most cases, not improve it.

Also went with Bilstien/Eibach/Whiteline package and haven't looked back

Bilstein for street use any day of the week

My old Ohlins/Eibach combo is much better for the street than the old TEINs I have. The Eibach springs are soft compared to the TEINs.

If you're after numbers, I would run around 4-5kg springs for the street max. Note that Nismo S-tune suspension have F:5.5 R:4.5 kg/mm springs.

Standard are around F:3 R:3.5 kg/mm from memory.

In saying that, if you're after cheap, HSD ones are pretty decent (from what I've heard and read). Local support and you can change springs (check out otomoto).

[james32gtr]

Yeah I had a look at the nismo-s tune, might get them. And if you think there worth it I'll give them a go!

And they work bloody good too.

Got Nismo S-Tune on my GT-R > very happy for street.

Got Bilstein with King springs on the EVO > very happy for street

Bilstiens pss9

So Bilstein now make PSS-9's for 32 GTR's? Not that they are any good anyway.

Duncan out of interest what are the differences between the Bilsteins from Gary and the ones you would normally buy? Other than the extra circlip rings.

But yes the fixed Bilsteins are good shocks.

[GTSBoy]

He revalved them to (really well) suit the springs in the package.
