GarettH Posted February 19, 2014 Share Posted February 19, 2014 Hey guys I own a 1991 R32 GTR I recently just put HSD Monotube coilovers on. I currently have 18x10 +18 Work XD9's and the guards are not currently rolled but will be soon. I max'd the coils front and rear and the front were about 323mm from the center to the top arch and the rear is 330mm from the center to the arch. Now I know of the consequences of running a GTR to low, Bump steer, CV boots and the drive shaft being on an acute angle and loosing HP. The answer I can't find is at what height this becomes a problem, I like the look of the car running 330mm front and rear for height just wondering if you guys think this is to low and the following problems will occur, Thanks!

GTSBoy Posted February 19, 2014 Share Posted February 19, 2014 Closer to 345 and 355mm is correct. Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/439378-r32-gtr-hsd-coilovers-what-height/#findComment-7204572 Share on other sites More sharing options...
MrStabby Posted February 19, 2014 Share Posted February 19, 2014 Skdneykid used to say that 350 front 340 rear is about as low as you could go before it all went to poo (and that requires a bunch of adjustable bushes or equivalent to align), but it sounds like you're going for a look not for performance, right?

GarettH Posted February 19, 2014 Author Share Posted February 19, 2014 Really wow I thought it was closer to 340 on both, and I'm after best of both worlds. I like the look of having a lower car but don't want to loose performance, I might try to get away with 340/340 and see how it drives Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/439378-r32-gtr-hsd-coilovers-what-height/#findComment-7205119 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Remember that front guards have a larger opening to deal with the turning wheel, so you would expect to have a larger number at the front.

HR32GTS 4DOOR Posted February 20, 2014 Share Posted February 20, 2014 The problem with the HSD's is that you can't really get close to 340 front or rear, the highest I have gotten mine (Although a GTS-T, not sure if GTR coils have the same issue) is around 330 eye brow height. Although I have a bunch of adjustables to compensate Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/439378-r32-gtr-hsd-coilovers-what-height/#findComment-7206144 Share on other sites More sharing options...
