I think the suspension setup is different in the GTR to GTST... im not 100% sure though, ask in the suspension/handling section

[Veilside R33]

it seems no-one on SAU knows lol, ive put it in susp/hand as well and still no luck.

does anyone know of anywhere i can call to find the answer?

[leech_]

call nissan or maybe like UAS or someone.

[Veilside R33]

ok called around and yes they will fit!!! however apparently im going to need some shocks for them , something along the lines of GTR ones.

anyone know if i do need new shocks or will mine do the job?

apparently the shocks will start to leak really badly if i use the stock ones?

If you put superlow springs in with standard shocks, your ride quality will be ruined, the car may bounce all over the place and it will wear out the stock shockers very quickly, (if they arent dead already) you may want to put some short throw shocks in at the same time to get some suspenson travel back. for example i put K-Mac 2.5 inch lowered springs in mine with the standard shocks, and the car would bounce all over the road, put some Koni Yellows in fixed it all up.

thanks mate, how much did the konis set you back?

i'll probably wait a little while to buy the shocks as i dont need to put the springs on immediatly.

one of the mech's at F&F said he put gtr shocks on with his lowered springs on his gtst, and that the ride is really stiff, but that wont bother me, im hoping at the end the car handles better too.

Remember the cost of compensating the camber if you're lowering too, or you'll scrub the inside of your tires with too much negative.

I'm in at Inline Steering & Suspension in Qbyn next week to finally sort out my camber issues once and for all, and with a few hours of labour it aint cheap.

(I have fairly low and $#&% hard TEIN coilovers)

[Veilside R33]

god damn all i want to do is drop my height and i have change the whole fu**ing car, damn!

they set me back around 1200, theyre customised in some way, i forget which, as the gts and gtr shocks have different heights and where they bolt on at the bottom (on a 32).

[Veilside R33]

yeah well the only reason i got the springs is because they were so cheap. ($70 in perfect condition) so spending $1200 is outta the question.

im sure there is a more cost effective way, but in the mean time i guess they will be sitting at home casue i dont want a sloppy ride with leaking shocks.

[SupaFly Skyline]

chuck the springs in if you want, aint that hard a job, i reckon they look awesome dumped in the weeds, if your not a fan of the ride, you can always take them out if you want

[Veilside R33]

yeah im not really worried about the ride feel.

i just dont want to harm the shocks or any other parts of the suspension, if there wont be any damage to the shocks then i'll put them on b4 the photoshoot.

[SupaFly Skyline]

it should really take you about 2hrs to swap all 4 springs over, ill give you a hand if you want, could even do it on the day of the photoshoot if you want

[Veilside R33]

yeah isnt to hard, i'll take you up on that offer though, if they come in the next few days maybe you have some spare time help put them on? i dont think it will do any harm if they are on for a few weeks?

[SupaFly Skyline]

you should be right for a few weeks, my shocks werent too bad when i put my springs in, but were absolutely rooted after about 6 months, hit us up with a pm when you want a hand

[sigsputnik]

I have GTR king springs on my GTS just fine.
