What suspension setup are you guys using with the RB swap? I have the Rb25 swap and it is front heavy, the rear is really light. I can't even drive it in the rain, fish tails like crazy. right now I have stock suspension. Thinking some coilover would solve the problem.

Sorry nobody else has replied.. I do not have my RB in yet, nor my suspension.. so I really can't tell ya..

I am, however, planning on using AGX shocks and S-tech springs.. I believe that Unstable, and McKinney as well as Cameron have all said that with new shocks and a lower center of gravity it handles a lot better/can't tell the diff between KA and RB.

Keep me posted Bryson on how the your suspension setup works and feels. Might just go that route.

ok..i was talking with mr black..he is in the japanese d1gp and runs a yellow 900 hp 240sx with rb25det..he runs 16 and 8 f/r spring rates.. with silkroad coilovers..silkroad coilovers with those springs can be found at http://www.dgtrials.com.. they are custom order..also.. they run a special brace for the fender to firewall cuz running 16 lb springs will start lifting the fender up..also.. running the triable fender brace bars help alot as well..well hope this helps..remember this is a drift car..and that is the spring rates i will be running once my drift car is done..my current car only runs simple spring shocks..

honestly..if you are not serious about racing/drifting/autoxany of the normal coilover kits will suffice just as well..
