Kings Springs:

Front - KDFL- 101 (355-360mm ride height)

Rear - KDRL- 87 (330mm ride height)

- KDRS- 87 (360mm ride height)

Will let you know how I go.

approx 30% increase spring rate.

Fronts suit r33/r34,

Rears suit z32 (tapered spring ID 88mm-77mm), KDRL are 300mm or KDRS 330mm uncompressed spring length.

Hey did you end up fitting these king springs ?? how did it go ?? is that the full part number?? interested?? :D
that king springs part number for the fronts is correct as i just fitted them to my s1 RS4

the rears tho,im not sure

That part number is that for r33 gtr springs?? lows not super lows? were you happy with front ride height?? make much of a handling difference?? :(

[quote name='rx7gt' date='12 Aug 2009, 02:19 PM' post='4763566' were you happy with front ride height?? make much of a handling difference?? :(

Just checked king springs catalog and those part numbers 4 front springs were for r33/34 not listed as gtr My understanding was that front springs were the same as gtr not gts-t as gts-t is not 4wd Kings dont list a part number for gtr odd!! My car is s1 stag rs4 auto same as yours I think?? Would still like to know how the kingers panned out?? only $149 from auto barn. Cheers if you can help.?? :O

grab the whiteline R34 GTS4/GTR front springs... or lovell/king etc

Unless you can get Stagea specific (wagon) springs you are better to stick with the stockers. Most cost effective handling mod is a (much) heavier rear sway bar. Bilsteins (sometimes sold under Nismo brand) will give handling improvement and can also be used to regulate height.

Personally Bilsteins and the whiteline alignment bushes with a more aggressive alingment were my favorite mods, then springs and swaybars. Good tyres obviously help.

Yeah will be going the full suspension route later probably go the Tein coilovers(rs4 specific items) route and swaybars bushes etc can get teins for a grand. Just wanting to know how rbd2 went with those springs ?? as wanting to lower car in the meantime as its height pisses me off jeez the lower front lip is the same height as my rx7's front bumper bar.and I hate the nose up bum down look of the stag. My shocks are still good just want springs and sway bars for now.white line, kingers,apexi etc etc but will not going so low as to stuff up the geometry :P Oh cheers 4 all da info guys :P Any more spring part numbers/ brands/feed back etc Would be helpful?? cheers :ninja:

S-Tune springs & shocks (freshly reconditioned) and the bigger rear bar has made a big difference to my wagon. But I'm sure with brand new factory shocks it wouldn't be too shabby either...

:P

>_< Agreed :down: much heavier rear swaybar best cost effective handling mod and recommended to all!! Stag is actually fun to drive through hills!! now!1(does not handle like a taxi) Car tourque still has three of those custom rear swaybars for c34 stag 2 ajustable and 1 none. paid $260 watch out when I went to pick it up they tried to charge me $300 wtf!
  • 2 weeks later...

Has anyone heard anything about these tein coilovers?

http://www.stageagarage.com.au/tein2dbasicwagon.html

They seem to be a very good price for a quality brand of suspension, does anyone have em or know anyone who does cause i was looking at some cheap coilies but these are fairly cheap and a reputable brand.

BTW the C34 ones

I was considering that very kit, but got hold of second-hand S-Tune for less (including rebuilding the shocks)

I see, have you heard anything about them like what the adjustment is like.

Edit: just read about them on nengun, 20mm of adjustment that is piss weak there not even worth it.

Edited by horrace

well i had my S2 RS4S lowered this week, and had a wheel alignment, this was as far as could be adjusted with the standard set up.

what camber kits (front or rear kits/ arms) do i need to get the camber to where it needs to be?

do all the other dimensions look okay?

wheelalignment.jpg

What specs were used for your alignment?

Here are mine:

Front caster L 6deg R 5.75

Front camber L neg 1 deg R neg 1 deg

Front Toe in L0 R0 total 0

Rear camber L neg 0.5 deg R neg 0.5 deg

Rear toe in L -2mm R -2mm

To get more caster you can get eccentric bushes but better still adjustable arms ( I think mine are GTR) ..failing that knock back the rh caster til you have a 1/4 deg less on the right than the left to allow for road camber. You may be able to reduce your neg camber with eccentric bushes as the adjustable parts are quite expensive. You should be able to reduce front toe in with the existing set up.

Your rear camber is quite excessive (might be fine for the track but may cause wear problems etc on the road) and won't be fixed with bushes but adjustable rear camber arms are not too expensive. I have adjustable camber arms and wind on some more neg camber for track days and then return it to spec for the road. You should be able to reset toe in to zero.

I have been using the above settings for a couple of years with no uneven wear issues.

eibach have a pro kit spring set listed for the stagea.

part no: 6345.140, seems to be the same as the 97 Infiniti Q45

    • My thinking is that if the O2 sensor is shot then your entire above described experience is pure placebo.
    • Here is the mess that I made. That filler there was successful in filling dents in that area. But in the middle area. I can feel dents. And I've gone ocer it multiple times with filler. And the filler is no longer there because i accidently sanded it away. I've chased my tail on this job but this is something else lol. So I'm gonna attempt filler one more time and if it doesn't work I'll just high fill primer the door and see where the issues are because guidecoat is of no use atm.
    • Ok, so I think I sort of figured out where I went wrong. So I definitely overthinked it, and I over sanded, which is probably a large part of the problem. to fix it, I ended up tapping some spots that were likely to be high, made them low, filled them in, and I tackled small sections at a time, and it feels a lot better.    I think what confused me as well is you have the bare metal, and some spots darker and some are lighter, and when I run my finger across it, it' would feel like it's a low spot, but I think it's just a transition in different texture from metal to body filler.    When your finger's sliding on the body filler, and crosses over to the bare metal, going back and forth, it feels like it's a low spot. So I kept putting filler there and sanding, but I think it was just a transition in texture, nothing to do with the low or high spot. But the panel's feels a lot better, and I'm just going to end up priming it, and then I'll block it after with guide coat.   Ended up wasting just about all of my filler on this damn door lol  
    • -10 is plenty for running to an oil cooler. When you look at oil feeds, like power steering feeds, they're much smaller, and then just a larger hose size to move volume in less pressure. No need for -12. Even on the race cars, like Duncans, and endurance cars, most of them are all running -10 and everything works perfectly fine, temps are under control, and there's no restrictions.
    • Update: O2 sensor in my downpipe turned out to be faulty when I plugged in to the Haltech software. Was getting a "open circuit" warning. Tons of carbon buildup on it, probably from when I was running rich for a while before getting it corrected. Replaced with new unit and test drove again. The shuffle still happens, albeit far less now. I am not able to replicate it as reliably and it no longer happens at the same RPM levels as before. The only time I was able to hear it was in 5th going uphill and another time in 5th where there was no noticeable incline but applying more throttle first sped it up and then cleared it. Then once in 4th when I slightly lifted the throttle going over a bump but cleared right after. My understanding is that with the O2 sensor out, the ECU relies entirely on the MAP tune and isn't able to make its small adjustments based on the sensors reading. All in all, a big improvement, though not the silver bullet. Will try validating the actuators are set up correctly, and potentially setting up shop time to tune the boost controller on closed loop rather than the open loop it is set to now. Think if it's set up on closed loop to take the O2 reading, that should deal with these last bits. Will try to update again as I go.
