I really have no idea what is involved in a suspension system. As far as i know you have shocks and springs. What my question is what is the difference if you get a shockers and spring or just get coilovers (i don't really know what they are)

I always thought coilovers was a collective term for shockers and springs?

Thanks

(i think i'monly having a problem with terminology)

coil = coil springs

overs = springs mounted around the outside of the shock

Some people use the term "coil overs" to mean "height adjustable"

Non height adjustable (STANDARD) R32/33/34 Skyline springs and shocks are "coil overs"

These are the shocks in my 32 GTR

Non height adjustable, car rides like go kart, cannot move car by pushing down on guard.

Cant imagine a factory car riding like that.

Standard...?

Ahhhh............no!

It looks like ~14mm wire in those coils (standard is 12mm). Something around 400 lbs per inch, that's around a 230% increase over standard. A guide is the usual upgrade for 25 mm lowering is 30%.:)

      Hey. Very valuable information about pitwork, I will pay attention when buying any consumable parts 🙏 As for the carpets - I got a handful of information from nengun, from which it appears that indeed the carpets for the driver's side are OEM. They are not able to show me any pictures due to the long chain of different sales entities but after I place the order, as soon as the goods arrive at the nengun warehouse from which they will send the shipment to me they can send me photos and if my purchase differs from OEM I can immediately return it / cancel the purchase. I think I will give it a try 😉. Of course i'll let you know what's what as soon as i get them P.s. I know the topic is not relevant to the thread, but both nengun and amayama have these SICK 😍 trunk room lamps available. Do you know anyone who ordered them? I need to have one in my car
