i finally got a hold of JAPANESE COILOVERS
made by JIC MAGIC SUSPENSION. they have them
both for 4gen a32 and the 5gen a33 chassis.
the price i got for just one is $1450 but it
can go lower if i get a group deal going.
i'll get more details as the week goes by, but
just wanted to let you guys on some info i have.
here are some pictures:

5th gen is already available??? Are you sure?

Are those damping adjustable? I believe it is only height adjustable?

What type is it? SF1 or SF2?

yup, 5th gen's are availiable says the distributor.

they have both sa1 and sf1 for our car.
sa1's are the adjustable dampening.

No offense, but Cattman coil-over is no where near the quality & design of these japanese made coil-over....

Besides, Cattman coil-over breaks overtime (hint: KYB very nice). They are more expensive and they don't fit 5th gen max----hahahahaha

After having Cattman Y-pipe, I would never buy their products again if there are better products with cheaper price out there!!

Even thought we share the same chasis as Japan's cefiro A32, it doesn't really mean these coilovers are design for US model V6. Yes, they probably will fit, but they are design to dampen a ligher Cefiro car. Isn't the Cefiro a 4 banger?? Just my thoughts, but I doubt anyone would care =)

A32 Cefiro's in Japan

VQ20DE = V6
VQ25DE = V6
VQ30DE = V6

Blue Dream should have a new set of Kei-Office Coilover on his car this weekend..

Re: Cefiro

Oh yeah...Damn it. I knew you told me once before SY. I keep forgetting that Cefiro are V6. I guess these would work then =) What are the Kei-office coilovers like? Complete with struts and springs? How much?

4-cylinder Cefiro's are A31's..
they also have those RB25xx.... forgot the code name..
and also have turbo's in the A31's but they are not the same as the 3rd gen tho..

SY~

PS. Kei-Office Coilover's are similar to JIC's and it's developed by a Race car driver named Kei.... something something.. (hehe.. my Japanese isn't that great!) We should have some photos up on Sunday afternoon.. on Blue Dream.....
