is it possible to get slightly lower springs that 350mm?

I'm after around 330mm - 335mm

The Group Buy Bilsteins have additional circlip grooves, so you can select the height you want.

:( cheers ;)

PS. 330 mm is too low for good handling and ride comfort

mmmm, i was only looking at the springs though, not the shocks as i am happy with my 'gabs' but it sits too low.

I got the front and rear springs and struts.

Excellant handling now - will get out to mallala eventually to really test them

only thing on my car the circlips had to be moved right to the top of the strut to get the height to 350 front - SK is there anything that can be changed - old rubber bits used at top of strut that would affect this

The top rubbers are worth around 10 mm. The most common issue is excessive camber, what sort of camber is it running, front and rear.

:whistling: cheers :devil:

When you put the Whiteline springs in using GAB shocks you SHOULD end up at around 345 mm front and 340 mm rear. Every car is different though. That wil settle around 5 mm after 1,000ks or so.

:D cheers :D

cool, how much will shipping be to adelaide for a set of the springs?

Also my rear gab shocks are from a 180, will that make a difference to the final ride height in my 32?

How long is this group buy open for? I need to save some money :)

There are still a few sets of R32GTST Bilsteins left, so a month, maybe 2.

:) Cheers :O

hi SK

this may have been asked before so maybe you or some one can point me in the right direction.

in your first post you say that the stabilizer bars have 2 holes for even more adjustment. how much better are these 2 extra holes? i am setting my car up for drift and these are the next thing on the list so am wondering just how firm you can get these? ive also seen on the whiteline site that they have an adj extra heavy deuty bar (i think may not be adjustable) so can you get these aswell or would the ones that you have in your group buy offer the same stiffness?

also there is a group of my mates that want just 1 or 2 things like me so could we put one order together so we can get the extra 5% discount?

thanks damo

    • Drain it. I got official Matic D but you can get whatever is listed as Matic D compatible.
    • Thanks guys,  Yeah I should at least have them dynoed, at least then I know what I've got as a starting point.  The springs on these are hard as rocks. I vaguely remember Russman saying he was going to sell the shocks to me with the rocks fitted, as he was keeping the softer springs for his new setup.  I didn't click at the time but of course that was to let me know the shock/spring wouldn't be matched.  I also remember pricing up new springs around 2014-15, but, house, money etc. it never happened. So that was another reason to have them rebuilt. I have rebuilt the forks on many motorcycles so I think I could handle the seals on these easily enough, but getting the valving right would be a rabbit hole I cbf exploring.  Duncan, interesting to hear RP was tuning these back then. I might give them a call.  In the mean time I have been busy fitting sway bars. The Whiteline rear sway bar I purchased 15 years ago finally got fitted, along with the Whiteline front bar that showed up last week. Just waiting on new links for the front sway bar to finish that off.  And my spare set of advan AVS VS5's should be back from the powder coaters in a Pearl White finish sometime this week, with a set of Hankook RS4's lined up for fitting.  And then I just have all the suspension bushes to do. A comprehensive kit is on the way... Lots to do before the Ararat hill climb. Cheers guys 🍻   
    • Nice car! I’m glad folks in the US have gotten past the FnF and are buying real cool cars like the 260RS I was with a bunch of mates in Portland about a year ago and spotted a green Stagea (just a regular 2.5T AWD) parked about 2 blocks away and they were like “a what?” So I made a bet with them for a round of beers and said “ok one of you run down there and tell me if the steering wheel is on the correct side” 5 mins later the American comes trudging back up the hill and goes “he’s right guys. Ok what beer do you want?”
    • Should replace OR drop the tank, give it's good clean. Might be worth replacing that entire fuel level/pump/cradle thing with this: https://frenchysperformancegarage.com/products/fpg-s13-180sx-r32gtst-single-pump-hanger-kit-billet-hat-6-v3-fpg-089?gQT=2
