yep, it kicks ass. I bought the Bilstein shocks, Whiteline springs, plus sway bars.

Ride quality is definitely more firm than standard, but not obtrusive. There is a little booby jiggling, but the wife doesn't complain too much. The setup takes bumps much worse than standard, but cornering is absolutely fantastic and well worth the slight trade-off. I took a guy for a spin the other day who actually thought it was standard suspension, and said it was much softer than the Nismo coilovers in his car.

Highly recommended!

hey SK, i tried responding to you pm but it said inbox full, id like to get those items discussed from you, so pm me your details or an email address so i can keep discussing it

cheers,

Bryn

hMM, everytime i try to message you, i get an inbox full alert

so i ll post it in hjere incase you come here

Hi Bryn, the Group Buy price is $185 + $125 + $10 = $320. The ISC rear camber kit price is around the normal retail price so it's most likely a genuine Whiteline kit. But the front camber kit is way cheap, so I would be suspicious of that.

Cheers

Hey again, Im wonderinf if i can put in a order for these on monday? have the cash now

also im wanting to upgrade my sway bars, (( to reduce body roll right)

do you sell these aswell for the r34?

if so ill buy those too

cheers

Bryn

Again cant get through on PM. Box full. See below SK and crew.

I am after the following to suit a R34 GTT Coupe:

- Bilsteins (all 4 front and rear)

- all 4 springs to suit

- Front and rear adjustable swaybars

- Front and rear bump stops and dust covers

I would prefer to set the car up at 340mm rather than 330 or 350 if possible. Is it possible to get 350 and 340 circlip groves with the shocks and springs you supply? If not please put the order through for the 350mm springs and the circlips on both 350 and 330.

Please send me the total and I will send through the payment.

PS: BTW I am getting the castor and camber adjusters, as well as subframe kit, separately and I understand that they will be required.

Has anyone been able to get through to Matt/Gary?

Their inbox is full again and I still havent gotten a reply yet...has there been any updates at all with my order? I've tried to PM them, but got no replies at all.

The last reply i got was almost a month ago saying that they were waiting for my springs to arrive at the end of May...

The lack of communication is getting frustrating, and it feels like i've lost $2000

Im sure that i will get my parts eventually...but i would like to be kept in the loop even if they were still waiting for my springs to arrive!

Matt/Gary, where are yoouuuuuuuu????

please let me know whats going on!

Cheers

    • Yeah we keep on in the dailies, it is pretty poor how many animals get hit and the driver leaves without checking....have saved a couple of little ones over the years. Bit of a gruesome job though, pouches generally need to be cut open because they are so tight and often the joey doesn't realise mum is gone so they are still locked onto the teat. I checked the modules in front of the DS wheel where an oil cooler should go.... There is the radar unit - that can go for race use) One of the 2 HX water pumps, the silver cylinder. That needs to be kept but might be able to be relocated But the bad news, the big computer mounted vertically in front of the wheel (blocking any potential air exit) is the electric steering computer. That is required until/unless i do a hydraulic steering conversion, and in CAD based modern car design it is not like I can just pop a big unit like that somewhere else (plus the loom would be too short anywhere else too). So, the passenger side is OK to clear out (just use a smaller washer reservoir, potentially elsewhere), but the DS no beuno
    • Well, all the best with the new camry It was interesting to hear about the UK process, it is generally a lot more streamlined here with a shipping agent looking after all the import side (noting the exact final price can still be a surprise.....) and I've used a few different brokers on the japan (or US) side, and never had any trouble with any of them....luck of the draw I guess. You mentioned you didn't get the auction sheet (understandable since you bought it from a dealer, not auction), but I always try and get hold of that because they are pretty thorough. I've imported 2x R grade vehicles over the years and both were fine, repairs in Japan are pretty thorough compared to here in Oz.
    • BTW I measured the jack I have, it is 70mm at the saddle but you only have about 700 until it returns to 150mm high at the cylinder so it is good but no magic bullet.
    • My experience with Rising Sun Exports Before agreeing to the sale I tried to do as much research as I could (obviously), his Facebook reviews are 98% and he goes Live at least once or twice a week. I contacted 2 people in the UK who had used him for their imports, both had positive feedback. His explanation and talk through of the import process was thorough, answering any query no matter how stupid it was. It felt as soon as the money was sent, communication dropped off. I asked for shipping updates every 2 weeks or so, not wanting to pester him, he never had any updates. I wasn't informed the car had been dropped off at the port, I only found out by his Facebook story. I asked for the photos taken at the port, knowing he would need some for insurance purposes. I received a few 5 second clips and that's it. When asked again, he said his staff had them. Weeks later I asked again, he tells me he doesn't have any, but does have 50 photos from the original advert. I never received them. I eventually got the documents sent via WhatsApp after I mentioned the port was requesting them. I purchased a CarVX report, to find out the vehicle is a Grade R with recorded accident damage, first recorded in 2017 when it was first auctioned. He never told me the grade, then again I didn't ask. His response was "Grade R means nothing, it wasn't chassis damage". Still, I would have liked to have been informed about it. Jon prides himself on being open and honest when it comes to inspecting cars, it's his main job doing so at the auctions for customers. When the vehicle arrived in the UK I noticed a few little cosmetic issues. It's a 21 year old car so it wasn't going to be mint condition. The side skirts are cracked on each corner and the sealant is failing. The front grill on the bonnet/hood isn't secured very well, mounting studs are missing. Both minor things, but again, it would have been nice to be told. During a Facebook Live walk around video of the vehicle, he mentioned it has a front Whiteline anti roll bar/sway bar. While on the inspection ramp, I noticed the stock item has been installed. When first questioned, his response was "the ARB? Switched? Since when, it never had them". Since sending video and photo evidence I've not received a response. I'm probably being over critical of the overall condition of an old car, but all I wanted was honesty (which he claims to have). I'm aware I wasn't his only customer, he's busy doing XYZ but other reviews praise him for great communication with regular updates and photos, I felt I didn't receive the same treatment. 
    • I was able to get some underside photos while the car was on the ramp The suspension is all Altezza/IS200/IS300 so getting part's will hopefully be less of a headache
