with the BC kit i've noticed there are 2 types

- BR type RS series....................... more expensive

- V1 design VS series................... less expensive

whats the better one to get???

BR's are what I have, very happy with them. Iain has the same.

Not sure if one is "better" than the other; I'd be willing to bet the damper cartridge is the same, just prettier collars on the BR's.

what pic?

the ones on the justjap site dont look anything like the M35 ones. for a start, the rear of our car isnt a 'coil-over' type setup

yeh i just realised that again.

but if you compare them with the VS models the tops are different, so a wrong assumption by me.

looks like im just gonna get the VS's...

You don't try hard enough Iain! :nyaanyaa:

n00b question, but are there adjustable wishbones available?

Yes, but I doubt you'll need them. Camber is pretty good when you lower. I'd use offset bushes in the std arms, that way you still keep your ride quality.

Hey guys, Just into the coilover swap now.......S1 1997 RS4.

Couple of small questions, What's the difference between 34GTST and 33GTR front coilovers?

I know the spring rates are different as mentioned in this thread, but are the physical dimensions similiar?

And will a standard Stagea rear strut hat fit an a/m S14 rear coilover?

Thanks + Cheers :)

well 34 GTT (or 33GTST?) are rear wheel drive so id say different to your RS4 stagea. R33GTR physically fit. the s14 would physically fit an auto RS4 but top hats/mounts will need to be modified due to being too wide IMO. dampeners will be adjustable so you might get past the different valving in the shocks

if your buying coilovers why not just buy stagea specific coilovers?

Hey after searching and searching this thread and others, I'm still trying to find a definite coilover setup that will fit my rs4s I was looking at bc coilovers but I'm not sure now which ones I'll need Im pretty sure r33 gtr will go straight in but the valving is wrong will this make a huge difference if both the spring rate and damping is increased

Is your RS4 manual? AFAIK the manual's have the same shock bottom on the rear as a GTR (Fork-type), whereas Autos have GTST type shock mount (eyelet-type). My understanding of this thread is that R33 GTR front will be fine, but both R33 rears have wrong valving. Justjap list them specific for a Stagea with both Eyelet and Fork type rears.

Pretty easy to tell what you need if you poke your head under the back of the car and take a look at the bottom of the shock.

    • Saw this replica police car based on a Mitsubishi Starion XX parked next to a 'police box' (it's literally a box) in Hirohata, Himeji City in Hyogo prefecture the other day. It's owned by Morii-san who is a local Mitsubishi Starion enthusiast. According to a local radio station blog post, he always wanted to make a police car himself based on ones he saw in his favourite Manga comics.  As it's illegal to modify a car to look like a police car and drive on the road, Morii-san tried many times to get permission from Aboshi police station headquarters nearby. They refused initially by after they got tired of that they granted him permission. However, the car can only be displayed on private property and obviously can't be registered as long as the police livery is present. The car was completed at a cost of 1.5 million yen (US$ 10,000) in addition to the car cost. A location was chosen outside Hirohata Police box where the car can easily been seen from the street. Morii-san has two other Starion road cars, both widebody GSR-VRs.
    • Ah coolant overflow, previous discussions make way more sense now lol. 
    • ok. Yea, then I would need to remove the turbo and weld an adapter on to it instead, if I fuc* this one up.  
    • No. Only for a standard ECU with/without Nistune. Standalone has no need for it. That's like the 3rd time I've said so.   And as to that sensor linked - yes, it does look like it would be the right one. I've never bothered to see how available they were - just assumed that they'd be hard to find. I think I'd be planning to go Link ECU rather than buy sensors I don't actually want to make Nistune work, if I did not already have Nistune. As you do not already have Nistune, you should realy consider your options.
