Cefiros suspension......

[RussGTR]

Now that there is a few Cefiro nuts in one place......

Have any of you guys had and suspension problems?

Is it true that I can just raid the S13 bin for replacement suspension parts?

[Mase]

it certainly is my friend. Ceffy's use s13 suspension. So if you want coilovers just buy a set for an s13 and your set.

[jaik]

Im very much considering buying a hand full of bits from whiteline for mine too.

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

Ive got to get some new suspention, try and do a mountain run with stock suspention, not very fun when the wheels dont want to stay on the road

Rear sway bar I just threw in a 32 gtr one with some nolothane bushes

Just put a set of kei office s13 voilies in works well

[DRFT_ceffy]

are the cefiros wider than the s13 though?

[inark]

apparently thats what my ceffy has, Kei-Office coilovers.

anyone else have them setup? what are they like?

I'd say they will be VERY firm, being sort of a Drift setup. Not really practical for Australian roads

[inark]

oh well i'll have to get used to it i spose... altho the suspension in my 32 was pretty firm as well.

[MrMayhem]

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

[DRFT_ceffy]

this is my own personal preferance but i beleive kei-office make the best coilovers for drifting. but forr everyday road use they are a bit to stiff.

[Ceffo]

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

[too_much_boost]

Maybe the stud conversion spacers are dangerous, but every 2nd jap drifter uses conventional bolt-on spaces so they can't be so bad

[jaik]

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?
