if you are going with Kings go with the 520/310 spring rates at least.

Xr6t Vs Skyline
If I was going to build a money is no object circuit destroyer I'd be looking for a GT-R. No doubt. Comparisons of 150k coupes and 70k sedans are irrelevant........comparisons of 8 year old coupes and brand new sedans from a value perspective are also irrelevant. The potential of a GT-R with deep pockets is higher than an XR6T from an all round performance stand point, as one would bloody well expect.......once is built is a high performance supercar killer, the other a sports sedan with humble taxi roots! bang for buck drag racing then the XR6T is king. balls out circuit work its no contest for a properly sorted GT-R. But then again the thread is about Skylines....the majority of which are not GT-Rs........I wouldnt take any Skyline GTST or whatever over my F6.

Xr6t Tugboat
the biggest difference you will feel will be the sway bars, then the bushes. whiteline sells the end links.

Xr6t Tugboat
good point on the rose jointed end links.......I should get a set.

Xr6t Vs Skyline
Jman, a lot of these cars arent quick. Drag racing isnt my interest, ive seen them at the circuit with nankangs, chinese coilovers, stock brakes and little power. just sh*tboxes.....a lot of them are damn old now too, a STOCK R32 GTR is hardly exciting and I would wager a FG XR6T would smoke it in a drag race AND on the circuit.......these are damn old cars now with tired engines and creaky chassis. there are some excellent Japanese cars, and then there are a lot that are just average cheap buys for the young drift types. At the end of the day there isnt a good answer to this question anyway.

Xr6t Tugboat
I disagree on getting the biggest sways you can. 27/22 with your kings is about right. with 30mm front will push the nose too much and deaden steering........bigger sway bars also mean faster breakaway, and minimise slip angle which street tyres are designed to run at. dont confuse flat cornering with improved grip.......in many cases it just gives the driver more confidence but less mechanical grip. the real answer is big spring rates, but big $$ to get the right shocks for them, so what you have now plus adjustable 27/22 and good tyres is a good compromise for everyday use imho

Xr6t Vs Skyline
"SKYLINES" is a big generalisation, there are some very tough GTRs out there, but piles of sh*tbox GTSTs and the like owned by kids with no dough and 110kw at the wheels....

Soft Brakes After A Track Day
warped rotors is the shudder, The damn things would be glazed / warped and the pads likely glazed too from operating above their temp range - ie. anything spirited. soft pedal will be from water in the lines, the fluid will have boiled and be cooked. new pads + rotors + fluid. a good time to upgrade to better than stock.
