Most of the kunce on there just want the cheapest option to slap it on its guts brah... Few use bilstein but all the posts are old and the guy I messaged who seemed to sell them based in qld never got back to me... I'll give Trutrack a call

spoke to Trutrack, said if I go with the Bilsteins to go with H&R springs instead of King as he doesn't rate the kings at all and prefers not to sell them..

 

Also suggested a coilover option, Australian made in QLD, can't remember the brand now though... Height/damper adjustable etc, he rates them..

What's the main pros/cons of coilovers vs shocks/springs? I thought if they were height adjustable they were illegal but he's adamant they're roadworthy..

I think illegal is if their lowest height setting makes the car illegal in ride height

Was the company Shockworks? If so, heard nothing but good and fitting a set to R33 soon

MCA are another Aussie one I think

I think springs + shocks are meant to be comforier than coilovers? But obviously not height adjustable. I think coilovers and rwc are a grey area, I'm fairly certain it used to be as long as the height adjustment is locked, then it's fine

Doing some reading on MCA coilovers now, seem to get plenty of good reviews... Just seems strange that the 'better option' would be $400 cheaper than the Bilstenin/H&R option...

Might give him a call back and have a better chat now that I'm not at work and can actually hear.

Can't bring myself to call centreline for a comparitive quote, and they haven't got back to my online enquiry...

as birds said if they cannot be adjusted to lower then legal your all good.

 

the idea of Coil overs  (v coil over strut which is a coil over anyhow) is the adjustability.

if you get your spring rate and dampener right should be just as good as a shock coil combo.

or you can go Jap Tiens and shake the coins out of your pocket every time you drive it.

    • Yeah I also looked at Plazmaman, but, it ended up alot  cheaper getting black ones through EFI when you also added in the delivery cost
    • Nice shot! They look super clean. The roof rack delete on the black one is interesting. Would like to see more pictures from different angles. It's subtle but could make quite a difference to how the car looks in profile.
