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.

i've been reading and researching about v35 coilovers and if they will fit m35. I quoted the above posts just to know more about it, can anyone please calrify, cause if the spring rate is the issue, is that mean I can change springs and retain the dumpers right? - since that my Sister is selling her V35 with BC coilovers

I might just buy this from her and install it to my ARX -

sure the springs will fit, but they will be the wrong spring rate for an M35

unless the Z33/V35 is AWD, the coilovers will NOT fit. the front suspension setup is different to accomodate the AWD drivetrain.

I can help you with that if you like.

PM me with your budget; OEM style, or H/D Whiteline. There will be something with the right price..

Nice style there krzysztof!

Why Stagea? Because RACECAR!

[BigDirtyJase]

Hmm...I was watching Inside West Coast Customs and in one of their cars they were installing Pedders coilovers....I checked out the website and for shits and giggles I wanted to check if there is one for a Stagea

surprise surprise there is for the S2 I believe

1996-2001 Stagea WGN34 Wagon - 16-0174 Extreme XA Coilover Kit

wonder if anyone has used them??

Probably worth reposting this here:

From this thread (the stagea suspension thread) I gather a shock meant for a R33 GTR will fit the RS4.

Is it going to work well as a stock comfort replacement? I figure it would be stiff going on the GTR, but the stagea is heavier.

Any good local places to pick up replacements from?

[pipster11]

auto's need r33 gtr front and r33 gtst rear shocks

manuals use 33 gtr all round

you can use the gtr stuff, but the valving is different and also worth noting is that getting stuff out of japan could land you near the cost of a new set of coilovers (which can be rebuilt, eg BCs are $75/shock for new inserts)

[zoomzoom]

Thanks, Ive already fixed the rear shocks up with some new KYB's.

Im open to new coilovers on the front, but maybe in future. Need to get the car back on the road.

When you say the valving is different, what is the on-road effect going to be?

[pipster11]

slightly poorer handling but the front weight should be about the same really

grab some 33 gtr shocks for the front and you'll be sorted

[zoomzoom]

Thanks, perhaps you can also give me some hints as to where you're all getting your inner tie rods from too?

I'm sure the quality will be fine; all their stuff seems to be. The picture is a stock image; that kit isn't for an NM35.

I did notice the listed rear spring rates are quite light; 5kg/mm. I'm pretty sure the BC rear spring rates are around the 9kg/mm.

Something to think about if you like to load your car up, or tow a trailer.

Cheers, Dale.

I've got some seriously squeaky suspension at the moment, really apparent in cold weather.

Is it worth replacing ball joints to fix this issue??

[zoomzoom]

Any more info on that? Ball joints arent likely to be squeaky. Things like sway bars can make very loud creaking noises at the rubber mounts. Worn ball joints make dull knocking sounds if the ball is moving slightly around in the socket. Usually noticeable on rough roads where everything in the suspension is moving around slightly but constantly.
