Best And Cheapest Place To Lower Car

[nuffsaid]

Hi all

Looking at lowering my R34 1.5"

Tempe tyres has quoted 450 to lower with King Springs which should include alignment.

I dont have the time to do it myself, and would like a good job done.

Tempe are charging 400 if done with KMac springs, but Id rather go King.

They are willing to do me a deal if I buy some wheels off them. Unforuntately they havent been able to tell me what kind of deal as it depends on the wheels I want to get.

Any suggestions or ideas about other places in Sydney who can lower my car at a reasonable price??

Thanks

Check out the Group Buy thread on R34GTT, I think it answers your questions.

definitely dont go king springs...

coilovers really are the way to go. and youll get so much more handling improvement from coilovers.

youll get used to the loss of ride comfort from coilovers pretty quickly, and then youll smile when your flying through the hills or on a track

Skylines come standard with coil overs, the coil spring goes around the shock.

Skylines come standard with "coil overs", the coil spring goes around the shock.

So are you saying he should stay with the standard "coil overs"?

Or buy aftermarket "coil overs"?

He can't buy aftermarket non coil over suspension, because it wouldn't fit anyway.

So he has to buy "coil overs" of some kind, he doesn't have a choice.

Shoud be buy height adjustable "coil overs"?

On car or off car height adjustable "coil overs"?

What about shock damping?

Adjustable bump?

Adjustable rebound?

Both? Together or separate adjustment?

In cabin adjustable?

Should he buy used $400 "coil overs" or new $10K "coil overs"?

They are all "coil overs".

Telling someone to buy "coil overs" is like saying buy "black tyres".

It doesn't realy help.

cheers

LOL...it had to happen sooner or later

NA R32s still use wishbone suspension, so yes use coil overs. If you owned an S13, Commodore etc which uses Macpherson struts etc, then the term "buy coil overs" makes a little more sense, but its still like saying, buy an engine for your car, you wont regret it
