Hi, I dont think turbo shocks will fit or the springs .


I think its somthing to do with the 4+4.

But wait untill some one else comes on they might know better.
I get blown by Twins everyday !!!!

The old skyline gtr felt exciting even when it was in a car wash !!!!! :)

Correct me if I'm wrong but all Calibra's are independant rear suspension... and all have the same rear springs.

The difference lies in the fact that manufacturers only sell -35mm kits for the 4x4 turbo... because of the txb problems. So basically I think they'll fit, but will only lower your car by 35mm.

For turbo owners, I'm fairly sure you could fit a -60mm kit from another cally.

i got a chance to buy 35mm springs for £90 and my friend (mechanic) urges me not to lower it cause of the problems i just mentiond plus i go over speed bumps almost everyday n the bumps killed the shocks on my escort n ruined the anti roll bar now 3 times . n lowerd callys look to amazing

nice 1 guys for the replys i know 4 a fact th rear ones will defo fit on an 2 be honest thts to only part i wanna drop. i like th front th way it is its jus tht my rear weels looks really small coz theres a massive gap between th arch an th tyre. so if i jus lowered th back end would tht b ok or do i hav to replace all 4 springs.
