Hi Adam

why have you chosen this particular brand and model?


Dave

 

[Adam Kindness]

I have TEIN's on the impreza and like them. And heard good things about these.

Fancy the EDFC's for ease of changing setups.

DragandDrift - yes please.

12kgcm springs

Ouch!! I'm using 9 and 8 kg/cm and theyre really stiff. I think 12's using the Teins will be a bit too harsh IMHO. Without wishing to patronise but have you driven or been in a Skyline with 12/9/8 etc?
Hard springs are why I look like this...

and not this...

 

[Adam Kindness]

the car wont really be used on the road... maybe just to and from if its still road legal.

Building a track car

 

[tarmac terror]

Even going to Knockhill (I assume its Knockhill you'll be tracking it) from Edinburgh will be less than nice. When I get the chance I'm going for softer springs and stiffer ARB's F/R. Fair play though, an R32 will make a great dedicated track car.

TT

 

[Adam Kindness]

i can handle the 30min drive to knockhill.... the car is noisy and boomy inside anyway. Not very comfortable LOL


For longer journeys to trackdays we may just decide to tow it.

 

[Adam Kindness]

anyone have this kit on a 32GTR?

Anyone got recomendations on camber kits, and opinions on chassis bracing?

 

[GTRRRR]

Hi, i have the tein circuit masters on my r32 here in aus, and i can tell you they are very stiff even with softer springs ,and to be honest i havnt got a handle on the setup on these as yet,the instructions dont help at all lol,i think the springs in mine are 6 and 4 from memory and i cant push the car down at all .i use a set of midori upper front arms they are the ducks guts and cusco upper rears,my car hasnt been on the track as yet due to engine failure

 

[Kevingo]

Friend of mine uses them on his R32 GTR with 10kg springs.
His name on the forum is: MMA129 try to contact him.
We are also going to use circuit masters with 12kg. on a r33 gtr.

good luck!
Regards,
Kevin

 

[Adam Kindness]

good good...

may specify 10's when ordering.....

 

[Adam Kindness]

any other recomendations other than above?

Any lesser TEIN kits that you think will do me?

 

[Adam Kindness]

I think i might just go with the Flex kit to start with..... get some use out of it.... then progress LOL Prob wouldnt get 60% use out of a kit like the pro circuit to start with!

 

[Chris Wilson]

12 kg (over 1000 lbs inch) springs up front are way too stiff for a car without a full weld in cage, the suspension will hardly move at all, just the bodyshell flex in the main! The ARB's will be redundant, as their rate is insignificant V the wheel rates with those springs. I'd say a rate of about 700 pounds inch max, even for serious track usage. I'd buy some 500, some 600 and some 700 lns inch springs and try all three. You may need different lengths to get the right travel on the dampers. If you have the funds get the new dampers on a shock dyno (maybe 35 / 40 quid per corner) and see how they are from new, my experience is they can vary wildly, I am not a fan of tein stuff, to be frank.

 

[mambastu]

What suspension do you rate on a Skyline Chris ?

 

[[email protected] M/S]

Adam,

I would use AST dampers for your track car , triple adjustable low/high speed bump damping , rebound. Droop and ride height are adjustable , remote reserviors as well.Comes with springs not like the Super Racing teins.

Rebuildable in the UK as well, but I am in with Chris 12KG,s are far to hard for a uncage weld in cage car. We run from memeory 8,s and 7,s on our time attack car this year, with a STD front bar and a white uprated adjustable rear bar.

I will sort a price out for you when I am at work tommorrow.

 

[stuartstaples]

I use the control master type flex with EDFC and found a great improvement over the old St Bosoe coilovers which were well worn. The EDFC is a thing of beauty too, maximum stiffness at the track and near standard ride comfort on a mid setting for the road. Tremendous value for money. No idea of spring rates but I'll ask tomorrow.
