SUSPENSION UPGRADES

In what order should one upgrade the suspension on their cars. Car is the R33 GTR. Sway-bars/antiroll-bars 1st?? Use is mainly for fast road use with the occasional track day thrown in. What comes 2nd, underbody bracing?? What brand items come to mind?? Where to obtain the said items from??

I`ll try and answer as correctly as my limited knowledge allows
Im fitting my S-tune suspension soon along with the relevent links and when asking tuners was told that uprated antiroll bars would be the next upgrade.

What coilovers do you have mate ?
Anti roll bars are great, for track days, but if you have stock suspension i would go for some coilovers first, then uprated bushings and/or go for links like i did.

Coilovers benefit you alot more on the road than the anti roll bars, as they are more for hard turning, to give you optimal grip, on the track.

You still have OEM bushings in your rear sub frame ? alot of work i know, but pushing 800+ i would get em changed, good for a winter project

Cheers
Jan

I have a set of HKS Hypermax coilovers or the Tanabe Sustec Pro's waiting to go on, but hoping to do the suspension all-together. Winter project it is!
