Group buy on Stagea Lowered Coil Springs?

[Lone]

Would anyone here be keen on doing a group buy or similar on some lowered springs to suit the Stagea?

I would most likely be looking at getting King Springs to make them from a sample that I will send to them or most likely a suspension shop up here that I get some good pricing from (friends father owns it) that will measure them etc. and pass the details onto them.

Im certain if we get a few keen buyers the price would drop and also we might be lucky for future people that they might keep a design and make a part number and keep them in stock that we can refer others to down the track..

Now seeming the Stagea has a standard ground clearance of 145mm I would be thinking a 30-35mm drop would be my preferred height, anyone else?

I can organise a price comparison with Whiteline springs, they are already available.

PS, you do need to be carefull with the rear height in particular. They are a waggon and when you want to carry stuff, you don't want the rear windscreen wiper dragging on the ground.

Sydneykid: Damn didnt know whiteline had them available already, certainly be up for buying some of them, just didnt know any brands actually had them as a part number.. You dont happen to know the part number? What kind of height drop are the whitelines?

True point for most people there about the wagon, personally though Ill never use the wagon part for major loading except maybe a rare time once a year... Im just going more for the better look, not a dropped on its guts looked, just a good tyre just about matched to guard look, with about 40mm max

I'm getting my suspension all measured up next week by a place called Inline suspension in Queanbeyan. They're a whiteline dealer as well as others such as king, tein, bilstein etc. i can get the measurements from them if it would help

[Lone]

That would be a great help terminal to save me time having my gear out

Top stuff guys. Id certainly be up for some lowered springs. Pretty much everyone who's seen my car has told me I need them. (See new paint thread)

[mcnamg]

change your avatar zane show everyone that black beast in all its glory

who wants to see a boring silver one! :kick:

[burkey22]

I've been trying. It wont let me unless I make it so small you can barely see it.

[PranK]

id definately be keen, spesh now with my new rims on (check gallery).

[Lone]

Damnit their the wheels Ive got as well!

And damnit ill be most likely having my website design business logo on that window as well

Speaking of which, do you have a legit copy of flash that you would be interested in doing some subcontract work for me in? Just need a few things done, I can do them, just want to use a legal copy of course... If your keen just email me [email protected]

Anyways back to the topic looks like a few people are keen so Ill see what prices these coils will be after the weekend..

[BoyWhoCriedWolf]

i am keen on prices people - what are the whiteline ones worth, sk?

[Lone]

Sydneykid: Rang up Whiteline Suspension and they have no listings at all for the Nissan Stagea?

What part number are they if you dont mind me asking?

[Terminal]

I think you just need to get R33 GTR kits for whiteline

[Lone]

I was lead to believe that the springs were different to any skylines but the shocks were front GT-R and rear GTS-T?

yes the front are gtr and rear are gts-t for the shocks, as i tried to bolt up a set of coil overs from a gtr and the rears didnt fit because the gtr ones have a fork end on em and stagea has the eye end (same as gts-t).

but im not sure if the gts-t shockies would suit a wagon with such a heavy rear end compared to a gts-t 2 door????

sydneykid are the whiteline coilovers as good as japanese brands like apexi, tein, etc???

cheers

Once again, the Bilsteins are R33GTR fronts and R33 GTST.

The standard Stagea front spring rate is lower than R33 GTR, so the front shocks have no problems handling the Stagea springs (even +30% in rate) and an upgraded stabiliser bar.

If you are intending to carry loads in the rear and increasing the spring rate much above standard then I would suggest an upgrade in the rear Bistein valving. If you are going up in the spring rate say 30% or less and not intending to carry heavy loads, then the standard Bilstewin claving will be OK.

In my humble opinion the Japs don't know how to valve shock absorbers, the subtleties evade them. Add in Australian roads and they are not worth considering.

Whiteline haven't released their Group4 kit for Skylines YET, when they do I would recommend them. Until then it is Bilsteins for me, I have 3 sets on my cars.

So are these whiteline springs available to suit the stagea and what sort of pricing for them if you dont mind me asking?
