fastcar Posted February 8, 2011 Share Posted February 8, 2011 It won't matter, the spring rates of the SS are listed so low due to the fact that to get any rideheight whatsoever you need to compress the spring hence altering the pre-load (makes the ride rock hard). It is the main reason why I didn't go with SS. Previously I would have went with the Flex versions but I can't see them being any better than HSDs to be honest, you are paying for the Tein brand more than anything else IMO. thats very true. have you experianced any knocking from the front or rear shocks from HSD like you somtimes get from Tein. I can supply these to forum members for £694 including delivery and VAT, retail is £787. Thanks Paul Thats a very good price i would take a set at that price. if u can do a group buy i would be in Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scott Posted February 8, 2011 Share Posted February 8, 2011 thats very true. have you experianced any knocking from the front or rear shocks from HSD like you somtimes get from Tein. Nothing so far but I think they only have about 100 miles on them so far lol. Well, I say nothing so far but when I fitted them the strut wasn't tight so Harry got a bit of a fright when he took my car for its MOT. Tightened it up and it's been silent since A few guys here have them, TDR (Brian) did a pretty indepth review of them and commented on how quiet they are.

Neil_M Posted February 14, 2011 Share Posted February 14, 2011 As another alternative, has anyone tried the Nitron coilovers. AFAIK they have a great reputation. I see Whiffbitz sell them too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Paul Whiffin Posted February 14, 2011 Share Posted February 14, 2011 Thanks Paul. Comment noted . I just haven't heard of anyone else on here running them. They aren't a great seller mainly due to the price. For most peoples needs BC Racing, Tein or HSD are more than adequate. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chris Wilson Posted February 14, 2011 Share Posted February 14, 2011 The Nitrons are very good for the money. I have an as new set of triple adjustables for R33 / R34 Skylines for sale, but no Supra ones. The good thing is they will rebuild them, supply parts for them, and give technical assistance of value. I am also au fait with their innards and can revalve them myself. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fastcar Posted February 14, 2011 Share Posted February 14, 2011 Paul do the nitrons have separate ride height a spring preload or is it all in the same adjustment. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Swampy442 Posted February 14, 2011 Share Posted February 14, 2011 (edited) Swampy did u have the Tein super street on a supra or your aristo. I'm looking for a good set of coilovers but don't want anything to hard. But something gives good road holding. Sorry for the late reply dude. I had them on a Soarer. Ive currently got JIC Magics on the Aristo and theyre really good, although coming to the end of their useful life. If anyone is feeling really flush they could talk to Wheels in Motion about a bespoke Gaz set up Edited February 14, 2011 by Swampy442 (see edit history) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wez Posted February 14, 2011 Share Posted February 14, 2011 My car came with yellow billies, I switched to a JIC FLT-A2 setup which was great but very very firm, after that I switched to a CW track setup which transformed the car, it was so much more compliant on normal use but when pushed on track it does the trick nicely, if I was to change again I think it would be the Nitrons Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
