benl1981 Posted March 14, 2005 Share Posted March 14, 2005 Hi there, I have an R33 gtst sedan and put new kyb shocks in the rear, handles a lt better. A friend at work recently got a r33 coupe all stock. (i think standard shocks at the rear and spring) but it feels a lot harder when you push each rear corner. Does anybody know if the sedan came with softer rear springs for a smotther ride? Thanks Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/67300-r33-sedan-vs-coupe-spring-rates/ Share on other sites More sharing options...
R33fourdoor Posted March 14, 2005 Share Posted March 14, 2005 Funnily enough, I have the exact opposite problem. My GTS25T Series 1 Sedan came with Tein Coil-overs and they're stiff as!! I would suggest that by the nature of their designated roles, the coupe should by rights be the firmer of the two. Even though both are high performance models , you would expect the factory standard 4 door chassis to be biased more toward sport touring rather than outright sport. Sorry I couldn't answer your question though..... ;o) Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/67300-r33-sedan-vs-coupe-spring-rates/#findComment-1249648 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sydneykid Posted March 15, 2005 Share Posted March 15, 2005 Sorry, I don't know the sedan spring rates, but the Stagea rear springs are a much higher rate than the coupe and not progressive either.

Abo Bob Posted March 15, 2005 Share Posted March 15, 2005 The stagea has weight issues though doesn't it? What I mean is, it weighs a lot more than an equivilent Skyline. I don't know about R33's but the R34 sedan weighs only 20kg more than a coupe. This of course doesn't preclude Nissan from putting softer springs in just because they are tuning the sedan to be softer.
