Hi Folks,

I've been lurking around on here for a little while since I got my car and never really posted. I am looking at buying a set of Tein Super Drift Coilovers. They seem to be in pretty good shape and have everything except for the top mounts. My question is if it is possible to use the OEM top mounts with these coilovers because I would love to jump on this deal. Any feedback would be great! Thanks in advance

 

I think your best bet is to contact Tein directly, they usually reply fairly quick. The Super Drifts for the Z33 are discontinued and since they were such an expensive set up, they are rarely seen in the aftermarket. I do see on their site that the upper mounts were "rigid" which tells me they came with upper mounts from the factory and the OEM mount was not reused. Good luck.

 

I appreciate it, thanks! I am have someone in my area who has a set of the upper mounts sitting in his garage so I will test them out tonight and report back for anyone else who may run into this "issue"

 

For those whom are interested, the stock upper mounts will work with a couple minor modifications. For the fronts a washer is needed to compensate for the lack of threads when putting the top nut on. For the rears it seems like the only thing needed is a bigger collar to go over the spindle. Hopefully this helps others out there! Now I just have to wait for all this damn snow to melt to pop them in...
