Im thinking of getting coilovers for a R34 25Gt 1998, specifically from BC coilovers. However they offer coilovers with 3 bolts on the top or 2 bolts. Inside the engine bay the front suspension mount is 2 bolts. Just wondering if anyone knew if the rear suspesnsion setup is 2 or 3 bolts on the top of the suspension bracket.

In my experience the kit they list for your car will have the right number of bolts... plenty of people run BCs and have never seen a  "coilover has 3 bolts but my car only has 2 holes" thread

Are you going off the photo in the listing? They use generic photos as taking a photo of each kit takes time...

Also, just a word of advice. Before you order, check your rear bottom suspension mounts as you'll need to figure out if you need eyelet or fork type.

well you could always go and have a look at your own car....but pretty sure 3 bolts is just for macpherson struts, not A-arm setup.

I just need to remove the back seats to get to the mounting brackets of the rear, and since my r34 is 2door its kinda a tight squeeze to pull the seats out

I think its because some of their kits come with camber adjustability, however since my front suspension mount located in the engine bay its only 2 bolts and therefore I wouldnt be able to ultizie the kits with 3 bolts and camber adjustability. P.s replied to jmknights93 with pictures of the options they have at BC for my car.

It don't matter what other forums say. Get under your car and check it for yourself !!

I assume you're getting confused at the photos used in their listings? They are just generic.

      How dare you sell your unreliable Skyline and buy a reliable, Toyota/Yamaha car with a strong gearbox, torsen LSD and Toyota reliability. At least you won't need to worry about oil pumps, big catch can, oil restrictors, blowing off power steering belts, sheering off 3rd gear, failing ABS relays/pumps, etc.

      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?

      Leak from Tokico BM50 Brake Master Cylinder

      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/
