Stagea S2 Rwd

[BradLaunch]

Does anybody know the part number for bilstein shocks that go into the front of a S2 stagea RWD. And which model nissan match these shocks..Thanks for any help

I've got a spare set of s14 struts, measure yours and i'll compare!

If they where the same the shock would have to be valved, looking for what the part number is for the bilstein replacement for a rwd stagea.....thanks though dude

I'm pretty sure they're the same fitment as R33 GTSt, but the valving will have to be changed for the extra weight of the Stagea

Whereabouts are you, Brad? If you're in Sydney, contact Heasman's Suspension and Steering.

Im in Adelaide, though my mechanic ordered a set of shocks for my s2 rwd stagea, the front shocks came and the fronts where for a RS4 and the bilstein S.A rep said his listing on the 2wd stagea front shock was the same as the RS4, and he does not know what shock is in the 2wd..

Which there was a part thread for the RS 2WD, there is know where is the info easy to find for the 2wd. Thanks for your help.

Sent Heasman a email and they have never heard of a 2WD stagea..So will never find what the front shocks are or the bilstein part no.

This is an email response I got from NZ when I was looking for front shocks for my rwd s2, I found someone in Brizzy who will order them in for me. So I'm gonna do that as soon as I get my tax back biggrin.gif

"Hello,

Yes bilsteins are a excellent shock absorber, I just spoke with my product manager and he said try contacting Sydney shock absorbers as they also deal with Bilstein.

The part number to quote them will be BE5-2590

Could save a lot of hassle, time and money if you deal with them, if you have no luck with them then by all means contact me and let me know how you get on and I will try my best to help you out

Far as I know from what I've read and people have told me on here, the only thing that will swap direct is from a c34 Laurel. S14's fit apparently but you have to adjust them as the stagea is much heavier.

I know it's possible order Tein, bistien or nismo for direct fit. But I don't think it's a shelf item.

Have a read of the Suspension thread.

That part no. is for a 4wd stagea, I have been talking to my suspension mechanic and Bilstein do not make a shock for 2wd stagea they did not know that the 2wd has macpherson suspension.

This is a photo of a 2wd stagea shock does any body know what car it could be like???????

If you have a look on this site there is a listing for the Nismo suspension for 2wd Stageas. I know that the Nismo branded suspension on my awd WGCN34 is a rebadged Bilstein unit but I don't know what the 2wd Nismo unit is. There is a picture and a Nismo part number:

Thanks Guys, Bilstein Australia made some front inserts for the original 2WD shocks cause they don't make any for The 2WD. Cosy little more but the car is still legal with good quality shocks....
