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.

    • Sorry to hear your HFM BM57 was faulty,  did you contact HFM I would hope they would be at least grateful for the information if there was some sort of manufacturing fault, you would hope they would be sympathetic even if your item was 2 years old if it had never been fitted. May I ask where it leaked from ?
    • Cats are called Bella, and Donna...  Like that poisonous plant And I remember your 2 monsters, I remember making a little bit of wee when you let them out... LOL I have already installed cat doors into the laundry where their kitty litter is, and the sun room, apart from the cat doors there's not going to be any permanent mounted stuff on the interior walls (interior doors are cheap and easy to replace) I will get a outdoor cat cage thingie once I finish the landscaping out back... https://catnip.com.au/ The only off limit areas are the main bedroom and the gym room....but, currently the cats are curled up in bed, in the main bedroom with the Mrs.....LOL, the off limits for the kittens to the main bedroom lasted about 5 minutes with Jackie I currently only have 1 free standing huge cat tree multiple level scratching post thingie in the lounge room, but, I will be getting another one soon now that I'm happy with the furniture layout in the back room and have a perfect spot for it  
    • All of this is making it seem clear that running the Coppermix twin was definitely the way to go, especially in hindsight with how insane tariffs have gotten and the strength of the USD vs yen at the time.
    • That sounds like no chance of even importing one for road registering then Now I see why Duncan wants to check LHD rules for Targa...   I wonder how "bolt in" the AWD would be if you got one imported from the US and swapped it to an AUD one
    • Not to mention they drive like a bucket of bolts! yuck!
