I'm on my way to the UK for a couple of weeks and can get my hands on some cheap 200SX/S13 stuff, and I understand that most of it is meant to be interchangeable with A31. With that in mind, here are a couple of q's for you guys with fully modified suspension setups.....

1 - Does anyone know if the [front] anti-rollbar drop-link bushes from a 200SX S13 will fit the A31 Cefiro? It seems like I'm getting a bit of movement in the link due to worn bushes, and I just found some decent S13 uprated items... Does anyone know if they would/should fit the A31?

2 - I found aluminium subframe bushes listed, and noticed that one of my rubber bushes was well-worn. Has anyone installed any aluminium or polyeurothane items like these listed, and if so - what kind of effect have they had on the handling of the car?

3 - The camber on my car seems to be uneven so I need to adjust the settings, but my suspension is totally stock apart from a set of coilovers. Is an adjustable camber arm the only way to be able to modify the camber or is there another way to fix this?

Note: My cefiro is not for drifting - its an everyday-use fast street-car.

Comments, guidelines and advice about suspension setup please.... Any pics of installations would be welcome too...

1. u should beable to get just the bushes for those endlinks (in polyurethane)............would be cheaper ......

2. for a street car ...maybe use the polyurethane subframe bushes

3. maybe use polyurethane camber kits with off centred crush tubes like they sell at whiteline...as that part with the ball thing which i cant think of it name at themoment is hard to maintain and will wear quickly on a street car.

What he said. If its a street car you want a little give, and you dont want to be rebuilding everything all the time.

Cool - thanks for the replies guys....

I already replaced the drop-links and solved the wobbliness that I was feeling at the front, although I'm still feeling a few bumps and hearing a few clunks from the front....

I lifted the car up a couple of cm all around and I've actually noticed a big difference too... before it was WAY TOO LOW

Still got a bit of a shopping list of S13 parts that I'll be picking up when I go to the UK in a few weeks ;)
