Rear spring has around double the stock spring rateNizpro have made a special mod so that the rear is height adjustable, and very easy to adjust the ride height (as you can see).Here are the rear Konis.Here are the front coilovers:

Then inner boot lining trim in the way on the rear.3 Money no object type ones as fitted to BCL's car with little knob on the bottom of the dampers outside the car.But I could be wrong.....but probably not.

I'm not sure of the price but I would bet that they are worth the money based on my experience with the Tein gear in my previously owned R32 GTR...Have a chat to Jim if you are interested ...

The main thing I'm after is a great suspension setup, where the compenents compliment each other, and I'm not left wishing I hadn't bothered.
