suspension & brakes upgrade? +tyres questions

Help Support 4GTuner:

"$85-90" for RDA discs, JayRome quoted me. And I did see those on eBay, but dunno about those. Not a huge fan of eBay though, heh. I was going to go to this place for them. But shockers/springs I'm tipping will be cheaper, and probably better from the sounds of it. I work with a guy who said he can get me cheaper King springs actually, you find them good? He had lowered ones on his GSR though and said they bottomed out all the time on him.
 
nah i don't have any problem with those springs but i can't tell you if they better then the stock as i never had stockies on. those springs don't really lower the car that much so don't worry about being to low.

any idea how to get cheap twin pot calipers??
 
if you want king springs talk to me on msn i'll tell you where the supplier of them are in melb.... i should also be able to get you KYB's for a fair price.....

i have Teins on my GGSR and its awsome for cornering but not for cruising... suggest if you want best of both worlds KYB adjustable dampening with either lovells or king's lowering springs

sway bars are a must for which ever way you think bout it, also changing all the bushes on your suspension is also a must before lowering and or upgrading. the smallest things can make a huge difference...

Tyres: 225 wide are the widest tyres allowable on your car without hassels and scrubbing
offset between 50-40, optimal would be +45
reference: (for your speedo to not be completely out)
225/50ZR16
225/45ZR17
225/40ZR18 or 225/35ZR18 (depending what tyres are available)

hope this helps

Sure does, thanks. Car's off at the mechanic's getting the suspension replaced/worked and the engine reinstalled. They're cracking the shits about reinstalling the engine, but they offered to do it! I'll be leaving all tyre/suspension changes until they're done straightening everything. Anyway, don't have to worry about that for a while now thankfully.

Checked before it went, I actually have a 1" master cyl and the twin pot calipers. :oops:

Bad news is one caliper was fucked off it's face, good thing Dre had a set for sale. So it looks like discs of J, some decent pads, and a fluid flush. :D
