Nissan Skyline R35 GT-R 09+ Alpine Series Coilover

The monotube design configuration, added to the completely threaded body result in a fully adjustable long lasting suspension. As the ride height is set by the overall shock length, the spring preload, comfort level and suspension travel remains the same at any ride height setting compared to other suspension where the ride height is set by the spring seat, resulting in reducing the allowed travel as you lower the ride height.

The NS31-AS is offered in 3 different version depending the ride height range, comfort level and use each customer is looking for.

–       Regular version: This version is the most used by customer looking to lower their car. It allow a ride height adjustment from stock to approximately -3 inch. Comfort level is still really acceptable for daily use but certainly have to feel sportier to prevent any rubbing issue when lowered. The stiffer spring rate and valving give significantly improved handling performance over stock.

–       Low Version: This Version is one inch shorter and 10% stiffer compared to the regular version. It is used to significantly lower or for track use. It still offer good comfort level for regular street use but certainly feels sportier as the higher spring rate reduce the suspension travel to prevent rubbing when tucking the tires.

–     Extreme Low Version: This Version is more a customized based on each customer needs. It is used for extreme fitment and require to contact us by email to have our tech team helping you figure the needed spring rate, shock length and valving required to fit your exact needs.

This application use a double wishbone suspension configuration on the front and multilink on the rear. This means that the shock have no direct impact on the wheel alignment. Every cars alignment is affected the more you lower it and depending on the suspension geometry. The GT-R front factory control arm don’t have any camber adjustment so if you plan to significantly lower your car, you may need to look for adjustable upper control arm to prevent excessive tire wear.

On the rear, the GT-R have some camber and toe adjustment with eccentric bolt but if you significantly lower your car or want more adjustment, fully adjustable rear control arms are offered by different brands.
