Yes it does , lowering the car puts constant pressure on the strut and pre- loads the suspension , its a short term cheap fix without replacing stock struts .

Like i said , this fixed my problem and very well .

Now i run Bilstiens with Tein lowering springs actually works better for street ride and will outlast any coilover .

Then again coilovers might be your best option to keep stock ride height ?

Bad advice going to pedders ……...

No other changes to toe or camber were made after.....?

Stock ride height, car wandering on the rear end means there is an issue that can probably be fixed easily if the problem is diagnosed. The car is probably toeing out on the rear but until the OP gives us the numbers from the recent alignment it is hard to tell if there is another issue.

Ive had the same issue in the past with my 33 and it was tyre related, pump the rear tyres to 42psi and see it it makes a difference.

Not 550rwkw related rear end wandering all over the road? :P

you are going to have this issue with or without coilovers, before shelling cash into mods, sort out the fundamental issues first.

you good enough to pick a problem and semi diagnose it. why start ignoring it and hoping large mods will sort it out?

    • Hope you aren't too sore after that one, might take a day or 2 to notice yet and I guess it is a loooooong drive home. On the bright side, tube frame front end is a thing at superlap, right?

    • The chart of front pressure to rear pressure (with one being on the x axis and the other being on the y axis) is not a straight line on a typical proportioning valve. At lower pressures there is a straight line with one slope, and at higher pressures that changes to a lower slope. That creates a bend in the line at that pressure, called the knee point. If you do not change the proportionng as the pressure gets higher, you will suffer excessive pressure (at one end of the car or the other, depending on which way you look at the proportioning action) and then get lockups at that end. The HFM BM57, from my memory of previous discussions, is based on the BM57 from a different car (to a Skyline), with a different requirement for the location of the knee point and the distribution of pressure front to rear, and so is not a good choice for an upgrade on a Skyline. Here's a couple of links to some old posts, one from here, one from elsewhere. A lot of it pertains to adjustable prop valves, but the idea is the same. There are plenty of discussions on here about this issue from al the many years of people wanting a cheap/accessible option. https://grassrootsmotorsports.com/forum/grm/learn-me-brake-proportioning-valves/236880/page1/ https://grassrootsmotorsports.com/forum/grm/learn-me-brake-proportioning-valves/236880/page1/  
    • Yeah dunno why johhny posted that here with no context, just post on FB/insta bro where he put it up?  Laine had an off at T4 during Thurs prac, he's ok, car is less than perfect, they are done for the weekend, he can fill in the rest. Bando also binned it like 100m up the road.   
    • I feel there must have been a FB/insta post and the weekend did not start well at all I hope everyone is all okay
