he said for his RS4S so its a manual mate.

from what i found looking im not sure if BC's make a coilover kit for the manual stagea. i have stagea specific HSD coilovers (very high spring rates) for my RS4S. if you cant find them for RS4-S(WGNC34) try looking for ones to suit 260RS autech as they share the same suspension.

user "Verms" on here has some TEIN coilovers to suit RS4S/260RS for sale if you PM him for a price. TEINs are good because of the ability to rebuild/service them.

Hi guys you'll have to excuse this as a first post

I have some unknown lowering springs fitted to my Series one rs4 but the shocks are not up to the job , can anyone recommend a suitable shock , I was thinking KYB but having read this thread not so sure now , what is available and proven? I am looking for comfort and good damping

here is a pick to illustrate ride height btw I am in the UK

Nice car! +1 for Bilsteins. I see some mods have been done already - clear indicators, R34 GTR rims? Have you got upgraded rear sway bar? One of the biggest value improvements available - check the group buy here v what you can source in the UK.

I would not highly reccomend KYB's my mate had some in his mazda 323 the old school rear wheel drive bad boy and they lasted less then a year b4 they seemd to get really bad and bottomed out allot.. i dunno personal experience or something but i will never buy that brand.. sorry to be bearer of bad news but cheap usually means cheap... and for suspension that means not long life span..

P.S. my M35 has nismo suspension in it well springs anyways is this a factory spek thing? anyone know if the struts would be nismo or just springs..

If Z33/V35 coilovers fit M35's, does it mean that Z33/V35 lowering springs will fit intoi M35 standard shocks?

They'll fit but it'll be no good; theyre not designed for the weight.

Sold as a set; youd likely have nismo struts :thumbsup:

Yes they have definately been discontinued

They were available for a while under a different part number but sadly both are now finished.

I have an account with bilstein and bought the last three sets for stageas in the uk.

I have also been told there are no plans to reintroduce them at a later date.

i just put some BC coilovers in my rs4 s1 and i was pretty dissapointed with the ride height, i wound the front ones down as low as possible and no pre-load on the spring and still have about 1.5" of clearence between the guard and tyre, anyone else have this problem?

Silly question, but did they send you the right ones? On my M35 the BC's had to wound almost all the way in the other direction or else the wheel was up inside the guard. Definetly no issue with not enough low.

I remember "Run-it Hard" saying that they didn't go low enough on his Stagea; not sure what he did to correct it, because he certainly had it low in the end.

Might've gone shorter springs?

I don't suppose you actually did wind the the lower section down as low as possible? You need to wind it up to make it shorter...

are they gold?? i swear by hks suspension, HKS hypermaxx II are purple in colour- never seen them in a stagea, i have them in my R33, HKS hypermax III road coilovers are silver, HKS Hypermax III Sport are gold in colour and are for track/competition.

    • Oh, also, forgot to add these photos I believe.
    • Thought i'd update on this. I was able to get in contact with Craig Lieberman and later on Darryl Alison (owner of Kaizo Industries). Darryl was able to help me verify that my car was in fact one of theirs and is helping me find more info on mine !
    • There's restrictor pills in the stock boost control hoses. That's how they set the amount that was bled off and hence the "high" boost setting. The usual mod in the day was to remove it and send the "high" boost setting up to about 14 psi.
    • Thanks Duncan, that's the best info I've read. Furthermore after learning about the PCM programming side controlling the factory boost solenoid, the purpose of the solenoid is to "bleed" boost when pin 25 is earthed, thus allowing spring pressure in the wastegate actuator to overcome diaphragm boost pressure, thus closing or reducing the position of the wastegate flap creating more boost as the turbo is able to spin faster. It's pretty cool to see a designated Pill to do exactly this, would have liked to have seen it with a tiny filter over the end for those moments in vacuum.  The constant bleed pill has now been removed completely from the system and solenoid boost control has been restored once again.   Case closed 😂
    • The wideband reading is meaningless if it's not running. Why are you using shitty old sidefeeds on any engine, let alone a Neo? What manifold and fuel rail are you using to achieve that? Beyond that, can't help you with AEM stuff as I've never been their ECU/CAS combo.
