Wtb Rear Subframe And Hicas Setup

[Bronx]

hey guys, as my other thread has stated, sooner or later i will need to get my hands on a rear subframe and hicas unit for the stagea.

its the narrow cradle from the RS4S, so if anyone knows if a GTR cradle fits, that would also help.

you can PM me with any advice or help

thank you

Look on the Stagea Forum for sale section.

Chad is wrecking a whole car. It is a 2004 ARX Four and should have the same HICAS set up.

different suspension setup in the M35 compared to the C34. i wouldnt imagine retro fitting would be fun, even if possible!

I have one, complete with all arms and hicas you could have for $100 Its a bit rusty though.

I replaced it with an S14 one as I wanted the Hicas gone, and I wanted my rear strut bottoms to be converted to eyelet style rather than fork (I had a set of teins from my old RS4V that I wanted to fit)

Sorry to hijack your thread but did you manage to convert the rear coil to eyelet from the fork type? Also owning a rs four s I'm limited to the aftermarket coilovers available for purchase..

I swapped the whole S14 subframe, including all arms and junk. S14 are eyelet rear

[hks33]

So therefore you would have to run a S14 rear coilover correct?

[too_much_boost]

You could if you changed the top hats. The spring rates and valving would be garbage for C34 though. You would be best running RS4V coilovers

[hks33]

Sweet thanks for the information well at least if I do the conversion I'am able to run a rs four v rear coilover.

Best regards.

If you get tein basic flex coilovers fulcrum have told me they can convert the coilovers to fork for the rears. I just ordered some and they will convert them for me when they arrive.

These are the only rear fork type coilover tein produce to suit C34 series 1+2 stagea... May or may not save you a few dollars whilst they are EDFC compatible which is a bonus.

there are 2 types that Tein produce for the C34 stagea the Basic flex wagon and the Super flex. Basic flex do a super hicas model so they have the rear fork type but the super flex do not. Super flex are not super hicas compatable so they are not rear fork type. Correct me if Im wrong but from what fulcrum have told me and from what I can find on the specs online this seem to be correct.
