I'm yet to find out what sway bars fit, but i know that S13 castor rods and coilovers fit, and S13 front strut brace and R32 gtst rear strut brace.

Looks like all the rear arms are same as S13 too.

Brakes are same as S13 SR20DET brakes (ie shit). 4 pot conversion is mandatory in a barge like a cefiro

They are firm they arent as bad as tein ha or he,   i can't go back they are tooo good even in my everydayer

i heard they are fairly firm, but not noticably more than any other jap brand, but that aside they are supposed to be one of the better brands over there especially if you have a little bit of track work in mind

btw guys..

Ive just had 17x8's in the front of my ceffy and they dont fit due to the fact that the tien coilovers wont makem fit as the inside of the rims rub the bottom of the coilovers. (this is a 4stud). 4x114.3 +35 offset

Remedy

1. Had to get specially made spacers (20mm) - 200 bux a pair

2. And get new studs(75mm). 48 bux for 8. (4got which code they were)

U can bang em out from behind (no pun intended) the hubs.

ceffo.

Shit with all that hassle I would have got bolt on spacers that atleast convert you to 5 stud ? (bolt on to factory 4 studs - 5 studs for the wheels)

Nah its not that simple man. those bolt on spacers are very dangerous as it put more stress on your studs apparently. Unless its welded onto the hub. If u gonna be doing drifting in the thing. Who knows whats gonna happen. Ive also thought of doing it that way. but have been told otherwise

Either way, your studs go thru a piece of round metal and then into your wheels. Might be a factory rotor, might be a spacer.

Aslong as the spacers are centric (if thats the right word) and have the lip around the centre hole to sit nicely on std hub and also *into* the wheel then I dont see any issue with it.

Hi everyone,

I also had specially made spacers and they gives a shundering effect on the steering wheel. Had them for almost 3 years now after installing the 4 pots calipers (rub my rims). Using a 7x17 35offset Front and 8x17 35 offset rear. Off / On wheel balancing sometimes solve the problem only temporary. Now my handling is getting worse so I am planning of using PU bushes for the whole suspension link and those that is link to the body but not sure what brands fits, any advice?

    • Nah. Was just wondering if you were having a small stroke or if there was some slur/gaf/inside joke that I wasn't aware of.
    • That was a fark up, it's Salamanca Place I was thinking of. And now I'm curious as to what potential slur/gaf I have caused with Salamander Road, ha ha!
    • Actually everyone on the roads was really well behaved. The only person that did any minor tailgating was a local hoon in a Turbo Focus. Unfortunately we weren't going the same way so there was no grand initial D touge battle. Lots of people pulled over and let me through. The amount of "Hey man nice car, omg skyline, nice 34 man woo" was suprising. Like really suprising. Like almost annoying. My partner was obviously surprised, she'd never seen anyone in the real world point out the car/like the car/want to chat about the car before, so to have like 3 people per day mention it was notable, I could finally say SEE? SOMEONE THINKS THEY'RE COOL. Everyone was also pretty suprised about the weather. Every day was dry and about ~13-14C. Mount Wellington had a sign that said they close the gates at 9pm and I was heading up there at about ~7:30. It was VERY apparent that conditions were getting significantly worse by the minute on the way up and down. The road on the mountain was terrible though, it's no driving road. I have various suspension related questions now. Luckily it was only about 20 minutes from where we were staying to the top of the mountain as said Google maps. We only had the 2 nights in Hobart. We went to the Farm Gate Market though which was really good - And went down to the Hastings Thermal springs/caves down there during the day. I'd definitely be up for going back again, so luckily there's a few more sights yet to see. Didn't get to do the west coast/queenstown/cradle mountain so this was supposed to be a 'scouting' trip anyway of sorts if I were to one day do/take part in/organize a more car-focused trip. As for the boat, it wasn't bad. Well it was bad, but not in the way you're thinking. We did the night trip which leaves at 6:45 (though you have to be there ~2 hours earlier) and arrives the next morning at about 6am. There is nothing to do on the ship. If you plan accordingly and bring a book/tablet/show to watch/charger you can just chill out, take some Travacalm and just sleep through it. The food there is an extremely basic buffet that costs $32 a plate, or $14 for a $3 pizza. The way back we had a travel kettle and a few different types of cup noodles and made our own tea/coffee in the room. This was a far superior way to do it. At the very least book one of the rooms with beds. I guess as we were in the off season we didn't have room mates. You get an option for rooms with 4 beds (2x bunks) or a room with just the two bottom beds. There's also some option for a deluxe queen bed but it's much pricer. We've been on sleeper trains in Asia before so we figured this is similar (and it was)
    • You just gotta be really, really, really clear and decisive with what you want your end product to be. 99% of people who want this conversion aren't "I want to run a 295 front tyre!" so they don't really need the widebody. They just want the OEM body to look a little less dumpy, so bonnet, bar, skirts job done with some camber, stretch, slam. It's when you want that, but then decide to pivot later you get big problems. See also if you're willing to get an all in one fibreglass bar, and you're willing to accept fibreglass problems like cracking the entire item on a driveway, instead of just a piece attached to the bottom, etc etc etc. Decide this all before buyin'.
