Hey guys,

New to the stagea game and I'm sure this is probably a dumb question but any help would be great.

Recently bought a c34 series 2 RS RWD. Looking for coilovers for it and have no idea what fits for the rears, the fronts are the same as s14/s15, was told I could use s14/s15 front and rear so bought a set of coils, the fronts fit fine but the rear top hat is different, holes don't line up, the rear is a eye type bolt at the bottom.

Any help to clear up confusion would help, cheers guys

Logical that a suspension for a small sedan will not suit a 1700kg wagon built to carry a load in the back.

You need to buy Stagea suitable suspension. Have a read of (some of) the suspension thread.

I went shock and spring route. BC do make coilovers though to suit the RS if you're keen on them. When you do you're searches make sure its for a WGC34 (WGNC34 being 4wd)

Springs: Tein

SKN80-G1B00

Nissan - Stagea - WGC34

These have to be made and takes about 3 weeks, Fulcrum suspension in Aus is the Tein dealer, helpful blokes. Theres another part number for the 40mm drop springs on this page too, mine were 25mm.

So I have to find stagea coilovers, I can't use anything else, example r32 Gtst or what?

You don't have to, but its not worth the effort. Using suspension from a 1300kg car in a 1600kg car isn't the smartest move. Spring rates will be wrong, valving will be wrong and over feel like a bag of dicks.

Save your coin and buy something vehicle specific. MCA make the best coilovers available for the C34.

Or you can buy a couple of springs and shocks.

I got some second hand recond Bilsteins (Stagea specific labelled Nismo) and some (new) Tein springs from a local suspension shop.

Rear Teins were Tein R - SIN79-010382HCC (although mine is AWD).

There are suitable Eibach springs and other brands which will do the job as well.

I see HKS sets for the Stagea from time to time.

Yeah the resr is an eyelet, I've been looking at teins or bc coilovers, don't really want to go bc as they wear out too quick, what would be an ideal Spring rate for the stagea?

Stock is 165 LB/in front and 170 rear. My Teins are 172 front and 213 rear but they are a little on the hard side.

      After market rear camber arm adjustment

      By V35Newbie · Posted

      I know I have to get a wheel alignment but until then I just need to bring the rear tyres in a bit they're wearing to the belt on the inside and brand new on the outside edge. I did shorten the arms a bit but got it wrong now after a few klms the Slip and VDC lights come on. I'd just like to get it to a point where I can drive for another week or two before getting an alignment. I've had to pay a lot of other stuff recently so doing it myself is my only option

      You just need a wheel alignment after, so just set them to the same as current and drive to the shop. As there are 2 upper links it may also be worth adding adjustable upper front links at the same time; these reduce bump steer when you move the camber (note that setting those correctly takes a lot longer as you have to recheck the camber at each length of the toe arm, through a range of movement, so you could just ignore that unless the handling becomes unpredictable)

      I got adjustable after market rear camber arm to replace the stock one's because got sick of having to buy new rear tyres every few months. Can anyone please let me know what the best adjustment length would be. I don't have the old ones anymore to get measurements. I'm guessing the stock measurement minus a few mm would do it. Please any help on replacing them would be fantastic I've watched the YouTube clips but no-one talks about how long to set the camber arm to.

      Heh. I copied the link to the video direct, instead of the thread I mentioned. But the video is the main value content anyway. Otherwise, yes, in Europe, surely you'd be expected to buy local. Being whichever flavour of Michelin, Continental or Pirelli suits your usage model.

      Continental have consistently beaten the absolute shit out of every other performance tyre in Wet/Damp/Cold conditions and give up a little bit of time (half a second at most) in the dry. Almost like it's engineered for German conditions or something. I'd def give those a try.
