WTB: Lowering springs or coilovers to suit R34 GT-T

Within the next week or so, I'm looking to purchase some lowering springs (Tein, Kings) for my 34 and was wondering if anyone had some they wanted to offload, or a used set of coilovers to suit even.

Was looking at getting Teins lowering kit (springs) as I'm set on springs, but theyll come from the UK. 

Hoping I can take something off of someone's hands

May I suggest looking in to the BC Racing Coilovers?

You'll just need to confirm if you have the fork or eyelet rear type before making a purchase.

Yes mate, I don't have that type of budget, otherwise I wouldn't be looking at second hand stuff. Going to run stock shocks for a few months then upgrade to KYB. Coilovers aren't what I need but I wouldn't say no to a cheap set if someone was trying to offload

Here's some King Springs that were listed in late Dec: https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/468367-r33-skyline-king-springs-lowered-front-rear-kdfl101-kdrl61sp/

You can run those with stock shocks but likely to start leaking at some point

Awesome! Thanks for this, hopefully they'll still be available.

And yeah I'll fit KYBs in a month or so afterward.

Update:

Okay I don't know enough about suspension to answer this myself and at the risk of looking like an idiot, I'll just put this out there.

A bloke from work has some brand new king springs for his Monaro he never got around to fitting, asked if I wanted them (for free) - said unsure if they'd fit, likely not, but is fitting springs from one make for another: this a thing or should I not waste a suspension shops time?

Won't fit without a miracle, I wouldn't waste their time. Look up the King Springs catalogue and it'll list different part numbers for each make and model.

The Monaro is a much heavier car with a non-coilover rear setup.

    • It's funny, as Ive seen plenty of people use them in cheap builds on YT. And they actually go okay, even though a lot of other maxspeedingrods stuff is terrible. Those turbos seem reliable enough, the only part being, a good quality turbo that is "identical" to it, will out perform it day in and day out. In both a lower boost threshold, and the ability to flow more air at the same boost pressure. As a cheap cheap replacement, not a terrible choice. For cheap and shouldn't blow in a day, not terrible (like other eBay/Temu turbos) for low cost and still decent performance, that's where the question comes in to play from the results I've seen. I'd actually find it hilarious to buy one, and strap it to a paddock basher or some other cheap as POS originally NA car, and send it to the moon!
    • The maxpeedingrods turbo is cheap and bolts on to stock parts. I think you just need a bigger silicone coupler for the intake. Its a cheap china turbo, but it's been running on mine for almost 3 years at 16-19 psi.
    • What do they look like right after you've tried to start it with everything connected? Also post photos of what they actually look like.
