S’adapte parfaitement, efficacité parfaite, rien à redire
My 2001 S500 came with the ABC system which worked amazingly when I first bought it and I maintained it for years but it's increasingly less well supported and is a nearly 25 year old system. My mechanic recently told me that the entire system was on the verge of failure (in spite of all the preventative maintenance and replacements we've done over the years) and I decided that coilovers were how I'd extend the longevity of what has been a comfortable car. Jean-Loup was very responsive to my questions and we did a back and forth over a few days to determine my needs (I'm a middle-aged academic father so I'm looking for comfort and safety for my family rather than anything else) and he suggested a number of options to achieve OEM ride height with comfort. He did let me know it wouldn't be quite the same as an ABC car but that was a given.
We went with the dual helper springs and that really helped.
It took time to build the kit (this was well within the timeline Jean-Loup provided) and my mechanic let me know that it arrived and took a few days to install, tune, and I was amazed when I drove it home. It may not be ABC but it's pretty bloody comfy and I'd say within 85 if not 90% of the original system. I've driven it a few hundred miles alone and with my family inside (on the motorway and in the city). We didn't go with sway bars (I was curious to see how the ride would feel without them) but they didn't seem needed. I can make sharpish turns at speeds up to 75 mph and haven't noticed any issues. My wife even agreed that we should have replaced the system with Ceika coilovers years ago given the expense of ABC repairs. You saved my car for another, hopefully, decade! :) I'll definitely return if I should have need of another coilover kit in the future.
the struts are amazing, you can feel the quality right off the bat. the shipping was quick and safe. installation went smooth as everything fit together perfectly well. customer support is also top notch. thank you ceika!

CEIKA Custom Big Brake Kit for Mini R56 Cooper (06~up)
I purchased an old E350 for my senior dog to be able to get into, since my truck was too much of a struggle for him. After driving the car a little bit, the suspension was completely done. I had two choices, go with full OEM replacement or with CEIKA. I did a lot of research on these guys and it seems that they are pretty legit. My thinking is, if one coilover goes out, I can just rebuild it. If the OEM goes out, I'm replacing the whole axle.
Long story short, this car drives completely different. So much more sure of itself and so much more comfortable. And my dog?He's as happy as can be.
Rides great, very happy with the overall product. Love the adjustments that can be made, really happy I purchased this. Customer service has been on point aswell with any questions I have had, it feels like this company is built by car enthusiast.
My old car has been given a new lease on life, new suspension components have breathed life into the car, feeling the road and the car Ben more planted has been an absolute treat to feel what the car should've nearly been like in 1989
Easy to install..great quality. I just wish I had these sooner
Perfect fit
Great quality. Just what I ordered and expected
Le service client est efficace et joignable très facilement.
Le matériel est de qualité, avec une bonne dynamique de réglage et d ajustements et s est monté parfaitement sur mon véhicule.
Une fois monté les amortisseurs ont transformé mon véhicule, plus précis, moins de roulis, meilleur tenu de route et comportement très sain.
Je recommande vivement.

Great experience from the moment I placed my order all the way through the first test drive with my new big brake kit! Quality product from a quality company. I couldn’t be happier with this great looking and performing kit.
Everything went according to plan. Feel like they are pretty good. Only time will tell how they hold up. Wish they came with a mounting reinforcement plate.i going to try and make one out of the original parts from the car.
The quality of the product is made extremely well with quality materials and craftsmanship. I am having some fitment issues.Could someone please contact me to address this...
I would like to share my experience with CEIKA and thank the team for both an excellent product and outstanding customer service.
When I started looking for aftermarket suspension for my Infiniti QX70, my goal was unusual for a coilover setup. I wasn’t looking for a stiff, track-focused suspension—I wanted better comfort over rough roads while maintaining good stability and body control.
I was initially very skeptical about coilovers because most aftermarket options tend to be firmer than factory suspension. Before ordering, I exchanged more than ten emails with CEIKA just to make sure the setup would meet my requirements! The team was extremely patient, responsive, and helpful, and configured my order specifically toward their softer, comfort-oriented option.
My setup uses approximately 12K front and 10K rear spring rates, with front helper springs, 30-way front and 18-way rear damping adjustment. I have also lowered the vehicle approximately one inch front and rear.
What surprised me most after installation was that, at the softer settings, the suspension was actually too soft for my preference and the vehicle felt slightly floaty—exactly the opposite of what I had feared from aftermarket coilovers!
After experimenting with the adjustments, I found approximately +15 clicks at the front and 15–16 clicks at the rear to provide an excellent balance. The QX70 now feels comfortable yet controlled and planted.
I have covered approximately 1,500 km with the suspension, including a demanding 1,200 km road trip with two adults, luggage, and some extremely poor road conditions. At times I was genuinely worried about damaging my new suspension, but it handled everything impressively. Afterward, there were no oil leaks, visible damage, or noticeable deterioration. This gave me a lot of confidence in the quality and durability of the CEIKA system.
Overall, I am extremely happy with my decision. CEIKA gave me exactly what I was looking for: improved comfort, excellent adjustability, good body control, and the ability to fine-tune the suspension to my preference. Most importantly, the customer service throughout the ordering process was phenomenal.
There is one small issue for which I would appreciate CEIKA’s technical advice. At approximately 10 clicks on the rear dampers, I occasionally experienced a noticeable thud during compression over larger bumps. Increasing the rear damping to around 16 clicks significantly reduced the noise.
The vehicle is lowered approximately one inch, and during installation I set the adjustable rear shock length approximately equal to the factory shock length. I also remember CEIKA’s instructions mentioning that around two-thirds of the rear shock should remain visible at normal ride height.
Could the thud be related to insufficient compression travel or bump-stop engagement? And with the vehicle lowered one inch, should the rear shock length be adjusted differently rather than matching the original factory shock length?
This is only a technical question and does not change my overall experience with the suspension, which has been extremely positive.
Thank you again to the CEIKA team for the excellent suspension, customization, patience, and outstanding customer service. You have gained a very satisfied Infiniti QX70 customer!
