Lowering A R33 Coupe

[GtstCoupe]

Guys what is the best way of lowering and r33 coil overs or just changing springs to some thing lower ,but i do like the adjustabillity that coilovers give you

[JCMarshall_Law]

Don't just lower the car, the camber / castor settings will get screwed up, get castor / camber kits and lowered springs / shocks (or if your keen to spend the cash - a set of coil overs). Whiteline works package does a good job and has everything you need.

BTW: Adjustable Coil overs are great but it is not a case of just pressing a button to adjust them - there is a bit of work and know how involved (if you want to do it properly) so you will find you will not be doing that much adjustment even if you do have coil overs.

ok so going the package is the go

bah, just get some king springs, and watch how the tyres wearing. Get an alignment before you start fixing things

[MsG_ChRiS]

if you want even tyre wear get yourself a camber/castor kit even if your just going to put springs in it <---- (the shocks will blow soOn after however)

i've been looking @ doing this to my car for some time now ... but i'm waitin till i have the dosh to do it properly.

Yeah I bought my car with lowered springs (1 inch lower than factory), and it's bouncy as hell.

I'm saving to invest in a decent setup though, so it's not worth changing back to factory springs.

Cheers,

yeah i'm going thru inner tyres like crazy now i've lowered my car, got full tread on the outside and nothing on the inside, its ridiculous

When I bought my car it was lowered an 1" with a KYB climb gear package and was going though tyres like mad so after a bit of research I found that the adjustment in stock cambers was just enough to give a good alignment without going the adjustable stuff and at the same time I had pineapples and nolathane bushes fitted which improved handling considerably, my next step is to find a good sway bar for the rear.

[T0nyGTSt]

I get the feeling at the very least, go for springs, cheap shocks like Billys or KYB and a REAR camber kit.

Front is not such a big deal...

Rear is though as you're burning them with power and camber.

yeah, just be carefull of lowering the arse, cause you'll chew out your tyres at an alarming rate. bloodly IRS!

but would you have it any other way? :Pimp2:
