Looking for the least expensive route for the time being. If I have to wait to afford coils, I will.

I am running Z32 coilovers. Cork fine just can't raise the vehicle very high. Car is 100% of the time slammed.

There is a guy running Z32 stock struts with coils on VSC. And he has about the same ride height as me and says it ride fine.

dt05r's, do they make them 18x10?? pr.?agreed about gtr'snot even like a grill or lights, hood release latch?? about what do used g50 coilovers go for used? ?(between x and y)

I remember when i was over there everything was ****ing cheap. I spent alot of time over at zero stage w/ a guy named matt. (white guy from onbase) I bought my A31 from him for $700. OEM RB25DET, 5-speed, full cage, buckets, LSD, Coilovers, color GOLD crazy *** beaten out fenders to fit the wheels, black & gold curtains... anyways yeah let me know how much you can get that **** for.

thanks

Yeah:

Drill out the top strutholes just wide enough to fit the narrower z32 upper mounts. or build a custom plate.

Drill out the front strut bushing or have the bushing pressed and replaced with the G50 Bushings.

You would need to re-use the OEM rear top mounts and that should be it.

You can select the link in the first post to ad Skipper to the Poll list. Where did you purchase that setup from?

That's cool bro. I wish I could scoop up some used equip. By the way, are you taking the coilovers off and replacing them with the springs? If so, how much do you want for your coilovers?

Sure it'd be easy for some since you're swapping parts between the same chassis. I'd say it's difficult for some people though, especially if you factor in finding the parts.
