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.

    • Sorry to hear your HFM BM57 was faulty,  did you contact HFM I would hope they would be at least grateful for the information if there was some sort of manufacturing fault, you would hope they would be sympathetic even if your item was 2 years old if it had never been fitted. May I ask where it leaked from ?
    • Cats are called Bella, and Donna...  Like that poisonous plant And I remember your 2 monsters, I remember making a little bit of wee when you let them out... LOL I have already installed cat doors into the laundry where their kitty litter is, and the sun room, apart from the cat doors there's not going to be any permanent mounted stuff on the interior walls (interior doors are cheap and easy to replace) I will get a outdoor cat cage thingie once I finish the landscaping out back... https://catnip.com.au/ The only off limit areas are the main bedroom and the gym room....but, currently the cats are curled up in bed, in the main bedroom with the Mrs.....LOL, the off limits for the kittens to the main bedroom lasted about 5 minutes with Jackie I currently only have 1 free standing huge cat tree multiple level scratching post thingie in the lounge room, but, I will be getting another one soon now that I'm happy with the furniture layout in the back room and have a perfect spot for it  
    • All of this is making it seem clear that running the Coppermix twin was definitely the way to go, especially in hindsight with how insane tariffs have gotten and the strength of the USD vs yen at the time.
    • That sounds like no chance of even importing one for road registering then Now I see why Duncan wants to check LHD rules for Targa...   I wonder how "bolt in" the AWD would be if you got one imported from the US and swapped it to an AUD one
    • Not to mention they drive like a bucket of bolts! yuck!
