Cefiro Suspension Q

I'm on my way to the UK for a couple of weeks and can get my hands on some cheap 200SX/S13 stuff, and I understand that most of it is meant to be interchangeable with A31. With that in mind, here are a couple of q's for you guys with fully modified suspension setups.....

1 - Does anyone know if the [front] anti-rollbar drop-link bushes from a 200SX S13 will fit the A31 Cefiro? It seems like I'm getting a bit of movement in the link due to worn bushes, and I just found some decent S13 uprated items... Does anyone know if they would/should fit the A31?

2 - I found aluminium subframe bushes listed, and noticed that one of my rubber bushes was well-worn. Has anyone installed any aluminium or polyeurothane items like these listed, and if so - what kind of effect have they had on the handling of the car?

3 - The camber on my car seems to be uneven so I need to adjust the settings, but my suspension is totally stock apart from a set of coilovers. Is an adjustable camber arm the only way to be able to modify the camber or is there another way to fix this?

Note: My cefiro is not for drifting - its an everyday-use fast street-car.

Comments, guidelines and advice about suspension setup please.... Any pics of installations would be welcome too...

1. u should beable to get just the bushes for those endlinks (in polyurethane)............would be cheaper ......

2. for a street car ...maybe use the polyurethane subframe bushes

3. maybe use polyurethane camber kits with off centred crush tubes like they sell at whiteline...as that part with the ball thing which i cant think of it name at themoment is hard to maintain and will wear quickly on a street car.

What he said. If its a street car you want a little give, and you dont want to be rebuilding everything all the time.

Cool - thanks for the replies guys....

I already replaced the drop-links and solved the wobbliness that I was feeling at the front, although I'm still feeling a few bumps and hearing a few clunks from the front....

I lifted the car up a couple of cm all around and I've actually noticed a big difference too... before it was WAY TOO LOW

Still got a bit of a shopping list of S13 parts that I'll be picking up when I go to the UK in a few weeks ;)

      From Japan and back to Europe, my sh*tbox R34 GTT

      By GoHashiriya · Posted

      Absolute f*cking nightmare. I had to take breaks constantly, and I was always pissed off when I got home. The line split in Italy on day 2 (we drove from the Netherlands), lol. Driving any narrow European town was... well, sh*t.   Appreciate it man. Here, I'll just drop a favourite from the load I took on Saturday.   I'll update here when things happen with the car, the thing is, with stock power and almost everything chassis-wise taken care of, there really are no problems. 268,000kms now and counting.

      Ah! I actually managed to snag a lightly used set.... that aren't so suitable for me right now. They don't work on a GTT without some cutting or creative heat moulding. I thought about reselling them myself cause I didn't want to murder them, but it looks like I'm probably going to attempt to murder them/melt them because I may as well. @GTSBoy @PranK can somebody close this thread?

      I couldn't wait But, the black constant tension hose clamps were too thick and there wasn't enough clearance at the T/B and I couldn't get it to seat properly, so I had use a silver one there I also added some 3" silicone over the alloy bit that goes through to hole on the radiator support as it looked like it was sitting on the edge of the hole in the radiator support, I never noticed a rattle or anything, but there was a witness mark It is basicly done, and I can live with the silver hose clamp at the T/B, I will get a black clamp for the head vent though where it is attached to the bulkhead fitting  It never stops...LOL, only issue now with the shock tower brace is it slightly touches the under bonnet liner now, if I leave it it will either wear some paint off the brace where it touches, or damage the liner, so I removed the liner to see what I have to work with, with the liner removed I have about 20mm of clearance, but sadly the middle part of the underside of the bonnet is only dusted with paint and looks crap, so I cannot have that, but.... as I have a roll of Carbuilders premium under bonnet insulation in the garage laying around that is only 5.5mm thick (we were going to use it on the boys Patrol, but he crashed the front of it a few months and it was written off, hence why he now drives my old Honda Accord Euro), I'll use the OEM liner as a template and get the Carbuilders stuff fitted up to cover that dusted paint up
