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.

    • Ah! I actually managed to snag a lightly used set.... that aren't so suitable for me right now. They don't work on a GTT without some cutting or creative heat moulding. I thought about reselling them myself cause I didn't want to murder them, but it looks like I'm probably going to attempt to murder them/melt them because I may as well. @GTSBoy @PranK can somebody close this thread?
    • Hey mate,  I have a set, one is slightly damaged but wont be noticable once installed.  Shoot me a message if your still after them 
    • I couldn't wait But, the black constant tension hose clamps were too thick and there wasn't enough clearance at the T/B and I couldn't get it to seat properly, so I had use a silver one there I also added some 3" silicone over the alloy bit that goes through to hole on the radiator support as it looked like it was sitting on the edge of the hole in the radiator support, I never noticed a rattle or anything, but there was a witness mark It is basicly done, and I can live with the silver hose clamp at the T/B, I will get a black clamp for the head vent though where it is attached to the bulkhead fitting  It never stops...LOL, only issue now with the shock tower brace is it slightly touches the under bonnet liner now, if I leave it it will either wear some paint off the brace where it touches, or damage the liner, so I removed the liner to see what I have to work with, with the liner removed I have about 20mm of clearance, but sadly the middle part of the underside of the bonnet is only dusted with paint and looks crap, so I cannot have that, but.... as I have a roll of Carbuilders premium under bonnet insulation in the garage laying around that is only 5.5mm thick (we were going to use it on the boys Patrol, but he crashed the front of it a few months and it was written off, hence why he now drives my old Honda Accord Euro), I'll use the OEM liner as a template and get the Carbuilders stuff fitted up to cover that dusted paint up
    • You have a knack for photography my friend. It makes the 86 look like a complete bucket. The 34 went with you to Europe and back. It's special. (we all feel the same about our 'shitboxes' that every bystander seems to absolutely love)
