Hi, I am picking up my first Skyline next week and I have a couple of questions and wonder if anyone could offer some advice.
I am buying from a friend who has looked after it well. He has imported it himself and it came with 17" alloys and the suspension is standard as far as I know. I have been out in it and driven it. The ride is pretty harsh on anything but very smooth roads.
I want to upgrade to 18's and maybe drop it slightly to give it a meaner look but I am not sure if the ride would become unbearably uncomfortable.
I have ridden a few porches, tvr's and sporty audis in the past and the ride at the moment is similar to a An audi on 18's dropped to the max.
Any thoughts? I read changing the wheels and suspension at the back can cause problems because of the rear wheel steering?
Also, is there any knowledgeable Skyline specialists in the oxfordshire area that anyone can recomend?
Cheers.
