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.

Kym

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

Also available from Nengun;

and RHDJapan;

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

    • Don't even try to run it on the stock ECU if you're going to have the boost controller bring boost above ~10 psi. I've already told you that. If you use the Nistune ECU, you will need to CAREFULLY read the available documentation for Neo tuning, and read some threads on the Nistune forums, to discover the various things you have to do to prevent the ECU from going bananas when the boost is too high. The is a table associated with th boost sensor that must be modified to prevent it from shitting the bed. This is just one of the things that you will need to do to the tune in Nistune, because the Neo turbo ECU will be expecting to see a number of things (such as the TCS) that are not there, and you have to block the DTCs on those. It is totally not surprising to me that you are having the problems that you are, but the solutions to these problems have been known for >15 years. So just get it done.
    • Hi. Sry iam not a mechanic and iam not at the car atm so i dont know 100% but they told they measure those and even try to change those. AFM they have two. Coils are new a they have my old one too. Plugs too. ECU...we have 25 NEO stock and Nistune 25 NEO.   But i dont know if any one those could be the problem and why/if/what can cause this, Only thing they did not check is fuel...but that walbro 255 is new(like 1,5 years)... That fuel pressure gauge idk...but i let them know Any suggestions?   EDIT: how can they know if it is like you say he ECU pull power when it reaches a specific boost level that is too high? Tha car has boost controler
    • Can you clarify what you mean by boost cut, do you mean it misfires both when under load (driving) and when stationary and out of gear? Or does the ECU pull power when it reaches a specific boost level that is too high (boost control issue)? Does it occur at idle with no throttle? When you say "the ECU is OK", what ECU is it and why do you think it is OK? Have you used the NEO ECU, and if so do you have a MAP sensor attached? Same for the AFM, why do you think it is OK? Do you have any way to put a fuel pressure gauge on it (even just a mechanical one between the fuel filter and fuel rail)?
    • Hi.. Just another problem. So maybe you can help. I(my mechanic) done swap from my RB20DE NEO to RB25DET NEO. Everything is OK but we have a boost cut. Coils/Plugs are ok...AFM is ok. ECU is ok. I have Walbro 255 but it "changed" sound few months ago(you can hear it ouside) you did not hear that when it was new(maybe faulty?) Sooo...what now? What can cause this boost cut? It is even when you standing still...
