Handling guide

[zainasaurus]

I'm in the process of finishing my engine going for stage 3, however I need to start looking into handling. My knowledge on handling parts is very minimum
At the moment i have got r33 GTR brembo front and rear brake discs, pads and brembo calipers.
What else do i need? would i need the handbrake cable? Can i still keep my abs?

Also I have ordered my wheels 17 x8.5 front 18 x 9.5 rear.
Im looking for coilovers, what do people recommend for budget around £500
Also camber arms, tension rods etc anyone explain the benefits and whats recomended

ARB's are great, them alone have transformed my car IMO.

When you lower over a certain height, the standard arms just don't have enough adjustment to correct for the lowness.
So these adjustable arms give that extra movement to correct alignment.

There is 2 variants of the arms, Bushed and Rose Joint.
Bush are put on and forget (more for the road / daily use), rose joints need more maintenance (more fast road / track).

Apex do some cool sealed Rose joints, that look clever and great.


When lowering a car more than 30mm, you need the minimum of Rear Camber and Rear Toe arms, but I would get all 4 really.


What is the cars intended use? Fast road, a bit of track etc?
Again you can get Apex's Gen2 Coilovers, I got a set in the shed to go on when weather improves. They are £529 in group buy, you can pick your preferred spring rates for your intended use too
