i've been running BC's for just over a year now and i'm happy with them, i haven't had any issue's. the guys at justjap recommended them to me and said they had a few customers running them in their stagea's and had only good reports about them. from memory the springs are only a bit stiffer than stock, something like 8kg front and 6kg rear. i only have the dampers set to half way and the ride is good. i do a few road trips a year, sometimes with the car fully loaded, and with the exception of a few bumps that would be harsh on any suspension, the ride is comfortable. i've taken the stagea on a couple of twisty mountain runs too and it handled really well.

Thanks Josh i will look into them.

Ok, painful I know for you regulars, however I have skimmed these pages, read other full topics and even searched and I can't seem to find a definitive answer on what springs to use to lower an M35 Axis. Any help would be appreciated.

actually come to think of it, there is a full set of nismo suspension for sale if youre interested

Do tell please?

Also, suspension wise is the ARX different from the axis?

As for coil overs, that would be overkill for me, and if I do that the bug will bite.

should i or shouldnt i?

If they are the ones in the photo they won't fit your car because of the forked ends on the rear unless you have a 260 or one other model I think 2wd manual.

If your suspension is bog standard a heavier rear sway bar will give you the most improvement for your dollar. Then get some second hand Bilsteins retaining your stock springs.

Can someone with BCs tell me if they can be set to standard height? For what I do I really dont want to lower the car...

Easily. I actually think you could set them slightly higher than standard.

I'm just wondering if it would be possible to just get the standard springs in a RS4S "squashed" at a spring manufacturer to lower it? I've had it done before on a couple of my cars (HQ Premier and a VQ Statesman) and it worked fine. I don't go racing around the countryside like a Targa Tasmania driver or anything, I just want it to sit nice. I'm looking to go down 40mm front and 30mm rear. I realize I may need a shorter throw shock to keep the spring captive when going down those numbers. It's just been a cost effective solution in the past (about $40 per spring) and i've not seen anyone talk about it on here at all. Probably because everyone is after super handling. I'm not, I just drive it around but want to look nice while doing it. Some feedback would be great.

Thanks

Ben.

    • I’m not sure what happened I told them about sonic tunes free OTS tune and the next the I know .. I was booted..   To funny 
    • Yea - I mean I've seen my fuel pump which is decades old and uh, while I'm not saying this with real knowledge... but I sure get the ick at using anything in the fuel system that produced the state of that pump. Many years ago I went through multiple pumps (and strainers) before I dropped the tank to clean it out with extreme violence. I'm talking the car would do maybe 50km before coming to a halt, which resulted in me cleaning out the filter with some brake cleaner and going on my way. None of my stuff ever looked like what came out of your fuel tank. I don't think I'd be happy with it unless every single component was replaced (or at least checked/cleaned/confirmed to be clean here).
    • I'm not going to recommend an EBC pad. I don't like them. Just about anything else would suit me better. I've been using Intima pads for a while now.
    • Agreed, and in particular the earth strap that should go from the subframe to the chassis but it often broken or left off. There is a section in the R32 workshop manual you can follow for troubleshooting if you don't see anything suspicious, and depending where you are (there is no location on your user profile) you should be able to get your hands on a second hand replacement unit still if needed
    • Yeah they mention as a R34 for 2.5 Turbo...but then again thos "small" were also for R34 by that different site. But i look into it and that 310mm EBC is for R34 GTT. And by those you linked the specs are the same 🙂    EDIT: I found these on one site here: DBA 4000 series T3 DBA42304S They are 310mm...and it says are for R34GTT...are there good? EDIT2: ok they have pads too.  What "color" should i get for street use? I dont want/need some noisy ones...(and if they are not that dusty that is good too)
