Hey guys,

Which springs should I get for the R33... I pick it up tomorrow YAY! It has spanking new 18" rims with stock suspension, 4 W D hehehehe..

So just wanna chuck on some springs to lower it a little, not too much, dont want to have to "plan my driving" but want it to look nice ;)

King springs quoted $450 fitted with wheel alignment

Pedders $610 fitted with wheel alignment

Whiteline springs? $295 a set on UAS + fitting?

What do you guys recommend!!

And also how long do they take to fit? is it hard to do it yourself *shivers*

Springs are easy to fit. Just make sure that you have some spring compressors (pretty cheap at kmart, supercheap etc) or someone really strong to compress the spring for you ;)

http://www.horsepowerinabox.com have king springs for R33 at a pretty good price and a wheel alignment from Pedders or somewhere afterwards would be cheap.

Install the springs yourself and save some money. Should take you around 1-2 hours tops to change all four springs.

This is how you get your car to handle properly. Springs is but one of the necessary ingredients.

Hope that helps

hi hippy, im actually sticking with the teins. I can order genuine Tein springs for the coilovers or have them made by industrial springs. As my dad knows the boss there that will be the cheaper option. (genuine Tein springs made to my specified spring rate are about 300 a pair!)

so my kings lows are for sale again i guess! Did you get your suspension sorted yet?

      Yea - I mean I've seen my fuel pump which is decades old and uh, while I'm not saying this with real knowledge... but I sure get the ick at using anything in the fuel system that produced the state of that pump. Many years ago I went through multiple pumps (and strainers) before I dropped the tank to clean it out with extreme violence. I'm talking the car would do maybe 50km before coming to a halt, which resulted in me cleaning out the filter with some brake cleaner and going on my way. None of my stuff ever looked like what came out of your fuel tank. I don't think I'd be happy with it unless every single component was replaced (or at least checked/cleaned/confirmed to be clean here).

      What brakes on R34 GTT(Europe)

      I'm not going to recommend an EBC pad. I don't like them. Just about anything else would suit me better. I've been using Intima pads for a while now.

      Agreed, and in particular the earth strap that should go from the subframe to the chassis but it often broken or left off. There is a section in the R32 workshop manual you can follow for troubleshooting if you don't see anything suspicious, and depending where you are (there is no location on your user profile) you should be able to get your hands on a second hand replacement unit still if needed

      What brakes on R34 GTT(Europe)

      Yeah they mention as a R34 for 2.5 Turbo...but then again thos "small" were also for R34 by that different site. But i look into it and that 310mm EBC is for R34 GTT. And by those you linked the specs are the same 🙂    EDIT: I found these on one site here: DBA 4000 series T3 DBA42304S They are 310mm...and it says are for R34GTT...are there good? EDIT2: ok they have pads too.  What "color" should i get for street use? I dont want/need some noisy ones...(and if they are not that dusty that is good too)
