Unless you are planning on doing some serious track time then you don`t need 25 way adjustable suspension. Total waste of cash. The most I would advise you to spend is about 550-00 for a good 5 way set-up.

Again I would have to ask you what you have planned for the motor.

Brembo Brake kit. I use this set up and I must say it is the buisness. I have a set of Brembo slotted discs calipers and new pads for sale which have come of a Skyline R33 3000 miles. Give me a call for best deal while you are one of the Nico crew.

You will need at least 17" rims for this kit.

the thing is i like the idea of ride height adjustablity as then i have the best of both worlds.

how big are those discs just as a matter of interest and are they easy to fit

 

 

Discs are relatively easy to do - I did both of mine in under 2 hours - 1 hour per side taking it easy. Just get the right tools to undo the caliper bolts and be prepared to find a screw to loosen the disc off the hub as it can get rusted on very tightly. Choose a nice dry day to do them - If I remember rightly as the previous post says you need bigger rims for the discs - or - spacers to push the stock rims out wider - Middlehurst Skyline department dont recommend to get cheap spacers and they cost around £250 a set to do it properly. Just advice - make your own decision though - I'm sure the cost is rewarding in the braking improvement though! Have you considered upgrading the brake lines, going to DOT 5.1 on the fluid and gettin some top notch brake pads instead to see if that sorts you out? Saves a few quid. The Skyline guys also mentioned a Master Cylinder upgrade as they reckon the Z one is a bit naff - but couldnt quote me on a Skyline convesion - sounds like it can be done though!!!

 

ill see when i get back to the uk but i have 17 inch wheels and i have gforce discs on at the moment but after 2 laps at the nurburgring i get a sudden vibration through the steering when i brake so i gather i warped a disc. that is why i want to change to bigger brakes
