There was a post about Megan coilovers for sale that fit our cars with some modifications required. Insurance I believe also makes them, however, most of the people that did it found them too stiff...other options are KYB SR Specials and Espelir springs. you can get those from memoryfab and work very well.

Hey, I try, thanks for the good words. so I think that the Y33 was called Cima in Japan but the body is probably the same. Do you have the McPherson struts fronts with 5 link rear end? that is what our cars have as Q45 here with 4.1 liter V8. I think you can use the same coilovers. Where are you located? I used tein springs and KYB SR Special shocks which are not available in the US, I had to get them sent from Japan. That is a good combos that fits very well.

i will have to find out i will be going to have a little play around with the car over the weekend hopefully, but i might be going silverstone on saturday to watch the bdc liecencing
when i do i can give it a wash and take loads of pics and see if matches your description,
because when i put it in my garage it was dark and i thought i would see it sooner that i have been able to (i had a quick look to check on rust but nothing else)
and then i can post some lovely pictures of my car

Q45 was the name they used for the Y33 in the US. It replaced a previous model that was completely different. The "T" stands for Touring, which was a smaller production run that included a stiffer set of shocks and springs, a different grill, perferated leather steering wheel cover and a rear spoiler. I also think there were some other smaller differences suspension wise.
