JUST WONDERING IF GTR AND GTST SPRINGS HAVE THE SAME SPRING

RATES AND RIDE HEIGHT,

ANYBODY FITTED GTR SPRINGS IN A GTST??

You are kidding right?

GTR's weigh ~200kgs more than a GTST, almost all of it carried by the front wheels.

The front spring rate on a GTST is around 3kg/mm, so the lower weight would mean around 66mm (200 kgs / 3 kg/mm) higher if you stuck GTR front springs in a GTST.

FAIR ENOUGH THE RATE MAY BE HIGHER,

BUT IS THE HEIGHT THE SAME,

MAY SIT THE SAME HEIGHT WITH A HIGHER

SPRING RATE,

DO YOU KNOW ABOUT THE REAR?

It's not simply springs, the shocks (mounts and spring seat heights) are different as well.

Yes I know about the rear, what do you want to know?

Maybe I can simplify this a little bit, Nissan didn't want people to pinch bits of GTR's and use them on GTST's. That would deminish the value of buying a GTR, you wouldn't pay the extra $ if you could simply swap bits over easily. So Nissan DELIBERATELY made lots of stuff (the good bits) on GTR's different so they won't fit on GTS's.

My suggestion is to simply move on, there are better solutions to whatever it is you are trying to achieve.
