Just go to a shock shop and they should be able to offer a number of alternatives after having a look at yours.

Only cost me $1400 for new Tein coilovers from Fulcrum I would not waste my money on standard shocks when you can get Tein for not much more.

yeah but i see $1400 of coilovers as a waste of money because i dont need or want coilovers.

kiwi, im guessing you guys have useful suspension shops over there? i fit suspension at work and i buy from pedders or monroe. neither of which are any help.

RHDjapan have kyb's listed but not to suit a manual. $332 shipped for a pair.

Does your RS4S have forks like the GTR at the back or eyelets like the front?

most coilovers for stagea are just gtr ones with s14 rear top plates and they dont work PROPERLY. i wouldnt suggest stock gtr shocks either as there is alot of difference between a coupe and a wagon. chase up KYB with the part number stamped on the shocks. if that doesnt work you may have to get a set of stockers refurbished. id suggest teins or genuine nismo stuff as its the only shocks made to suit stagea.

Thats why coilovers are so popular and most coilovers are height adjustable so your getting to lower the car as well. If your not keen on coilovers due to the ride comfort Tein are always going to be the best ride comfort for coilovers as the spring weight is not as hard as other coilover brands. Plus there able to be reconditioned by Fulcrum.

    • Hi from Canada, Both of my calipers are starting to fail. My car is a 2005 M35 Stagea ARX and I can't seem to find any parts or any cross reference caliper that would fit my car. Is there a company or a similar caliper that would fit and I could replace the OEM one. Or if anyone knows where I can find a new OEM. Any help is very appreciated. Let me know!
    • Maf is a question mark but TPS  I have set at 0.47, the fact that I’m getting proper voltage range out of it with the key on leads me to believe it’s functioning properly. I’m getting proper voltages on basically everything. I still need to look up voltage ranges for z32 maf and test that 
    • Honestly no not at all, but it’s a very basic tune, it’s stock injectors q45 tps and z32 maf. Other than that it’s a completely stock base map. The file is from nistune and from my understanding if it was tune related I would be able to unplug maf and tps and it would still start even if it was a really shitty start. I have tried starting it with coolant temp, maf, and tps unplugged none of those 3 togethor or individually changes anything

    • What does it look like with highway driving? And yes, I had a similar thought as Duncan. It looks quite similar in my Stagea and I have made myself accept it as normal. Might have to look into it some day   Highway gets as low as 10l/100km on my end so I'm not as worried about it being a mechanical issue. More likely just the tune on the haltech.
