Will the suspension specs applies for a 260rs? If not how much for the different type or model tohe the springs and shock absobers? Thanks

Rear shock lower mounts are different (the fork style same as R33GTR, R34GTR and R34GTT) otherwise everything else is the same.

:) cheers :P

What are your F & R spring rates in kg's for the Stagea

(or are these a secert)

Thanks

20-25% more than standard. The tricks are in the Bilsteins, not the springs.

:( cheers :D

HiSk,

got my car out on friday which is good. Borught it in for aligment and the drivers side was like 1.75 and passenger side was like 2.25. my car is sitting at 350mm front and back. They had trouble matching the camber to be the same on both side. AAny theories? Do i need the camber adjuster? I thought its a bit weird that they are not able to aligend to the exact same camber. but they came preety close/ Let me know,

Ohh BTW the brand of the suspension is JECS. let me know

There are a limited number of Stagea spec front shocks in stock at Bilstein, so if you are interested please don't hesitate. They won't last.

>_< cheers :D

Hi SK

1st of all, thanks for all the amazing info you have posted over the last couple of years for Stagea owners.

I have been the lucky owner of a StageaRS4 S2 1998 for the last 8 months and have been bouncing around on some horrible springs(Tein) with what I think are standard shocks.

I finally have some spending money & was hoping that your group buy for Stagea suspension is still available.

I"m basically looking for the works, as my last car was a Bilstein fitted R33GTST and I need to get back some of the feel and gorgeous handling that car gave me.

Thanks again :)

Several PM's sent, I know I lost a few when Prank was doing the update. Another PM sent, please let me know if you haven't received it.

:huh: cheers :)

PS; the Pulsar stabiliser bar has been ordered from Whiteline, should be ready very soon.

i appreciate that, mate. Still havent received a PM, must be an issue somewhere.

Thanks again. The buyer of the swaybar (obviously its not for me) was getting a bit worried is all. Cheers

Hey there, it's 1inthefront here. I would like to buy my husband - 3intheback - a rear swaybar for the S2 for his 40th birthday in October.

Is the group buy still on? I cant quite afford front and rear bars, but it seems that to replace the rear is the best place to start.

Thanks for your help, this will put a big smile on his face and also to minimise the impact of hitting 40!

    • 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
