Ello,

Im currently looking for a set of used coil overs for my 93 series 1 R33 Gtst.. Anyone have any recommendations on where I can find a set at a reasonable price?

Also does anyone know if you can just install coil overs made for an R33 GTR? (as alot of website label the coil overs "Suit R33 GTR")......

Thanks,

GTR 1's won't fit mate. I've bought a set of Tein Type Flex for my ECR33. They seem like good value. I ordered through a Japanese company and should be here any day. The cheapest Tein's are the Super Street and they should do a good job. Nengun's prices are competitive.

Have you spent any time in a car with Jap Brand coilovers? They mostly seem to be way too hard for Aus roads. I went local Whiteline/DMS and in my opinion even they are to stiff for local roads. They handle fine but you get sick of the bangs and jolts.

GTR ones can fit. What you have to do is to chop the base eye bolt fitting off your stock shocks and weld it onto the base (between the forks) of the GTR shocks. The height of the shock is the same in most cases (as far as i know). If it saves you say more than 20% the cost, then i'd do it.

Thanks for the advice, and i thought i was asking a stupid question! lucky i asked before buying.... :wassup:

Heres another quickie,

My cars a little bouncey atm, just wondering if i raised my car up an inch (back to 2") would the car still bounce like a rabbit on heat? I know the shocks are on their way out....

    • This is a recipe for disaster* Note: Disaster is relative. The thing that often gets lost in threads like this is what is considered acceptable poke and compromise between what one person considers 'good' looks and what someone else does. The quoted specs would sit absurdly outside the guards with the spacers mentioned and need  REALLY thin tyres and a LOT of camber AND rolling the guards to fit. Some people love this. Some people consider this a ruined car. One thing is for certain though, rolling the guards is pretty much mandatory for any 'good' fitment (of either variety). It is often the difference between any fitment remotely close to the guards. "Not to mention the rears were like a mm from hitting the coilovers." I have a question though - This spec is VERY close to what I was planning to buy relative to the inboard suspension - I have an offset measuring tool on the way to confirm it. When you say "like a mm" do you mean literally 1mm? Or 2mm? Cause that's enough clearance for me in the rear :p I actually found the more limiting factor ISNT the coilover but the actual suspension arms. Did you take a look at how close those were?
    • @GTSBoy yeah sorry i know thery are known for colors bud those DBA are too in colors 🙂 Green will be good enough for me  
    • That's my life. Past-Duncan has a lot to answer for
    • Yep four point harness. Mounted to a bolted in brace running behind the seats. Dont use it for daily driving tbh but good to have for when its needed plus it looks cool.
