I have an imported 99 SXE100 and did not realize it had been lowered. Requested a special kit to raise it about an inch so my old fuddy duddy butt could get in and out of the car easier and also so it could go over speed bumps and traverse some of the terrain on the farm (gravel driveways, inclines onto tarmac, etc).
The engineers were very patient and helpful, asking pertinent questions so they could make the coilovers I needed. Granted the added height was unnecessary (my fault for not realizing car had been lowered) but the coilovers fit perfectly.
Install was easy (as far as their product was concerned. ear end took some work but that is more Toyota design) and completed by me, myself, and I in about 3 hours. The car rides very well on the softest settings for the dampeners on country back roads. There is no body roll and it takes turns with very little weight shifting at even uncomfortable (for my wife) speeds.
For a nitpick (and I mean I am fishing here) the dampeners adjustment nobs just kind of fit in the top of the coilovers without any sort of reassuring click or lock. Basically just a little Allen wrench with a thumb knob attached. Now based on my interaction with the team I am confident there is a dang good reason that they just sit in the hole as opposed to being fastened or otherwise mechanically affixed. They work beautifully. Just unusual (in my experience) that they just...sit there. Seems like they would jiggle but there is no noise and they are long enough there is not a way they could jostle out, so not worried about it at all. I trust these guys did it for a reason I am not privy to
5/5 stars. So impressed with the quality i ordered some custom springs for my 98 sprinter carib station wagon that definitely needs more ground clearance and increased weight capacity. I use the sprinter (AE111 chassis) to deliver mail on some iffy roads and shoulders. If those hold up to the punishment I put them through i will request more stars to rate.
P.S. do reach out to their support team if you have questions before you order. The guy that has been helping me is great and very patient with my dumb questions and requests. They will help you figure out what you need.
Hey Everyone! I had just swapped out my old control arms/ball joints and final got to put my new coilovers in. No issues removing the older H/R springs and Bilstein struts, and the Ceikas fit right in! Good fit! The only tedious part was adjusting the height of the car because you have to take the wheel off to turn the spring wheel up or down to get it right but it’s done. The wheel/tire clearance to the coilovers is tight but seems to be ok. I’m getting the wheels aligned tomorrow so I’ll know for sure but it looks good!
Fits perfectly and works and looks great.
Was happy to see the quality and feel of the product. They came ready to install right out of the box. Have yet to test on a track day so can’t give a full breakdown of the coilover results.
Would have really appreciate a few printed install instructions to be included, makes it easier for quick reference, but managed to figure things out through online videos.
Went with the comfort option because Australian roads are harsh and can safely say these are the choice. They bolted in without issue and they seem to be really good quality.
Once I got these setup and adjusted properly, I setup travel for around 30% compression, 70% droop, which honestly could use a bit more compression, but it keeps it nice and low.
At these settings with semi slicks, the car feels suuuuuper planted, almost like it's on rails. Being able to stiffer damper in the rear is heaps better for cornering too.
Really impressed with the quality and how well these fit in. At this rate I'll be grabbing some brakes from CEIKA eventually too.
price is amazing compared to KW which is really the only other option on these cars. haven’t driven much but so far feel really good, mechanic had no issues with install and my fitment is amazing now!
The goal of purchasing the CEIKA Custom coilovers was to replace the old original struts that were dead (280 ZX Turbo 1983). While the car drove nicely steady in curves and acceleration/deceleration (much more safer!), the suspension was still bungy, as in the original situation. I was expecting something smoother (I had a 300 ZX Z31 from 1985 that felt like a Mercedes), but maybe simply newer models had globally better suspension? I am still happy, and can load the car with 3 teenagers, and full trunk (car was elevated 3cm on front, and 4cm on back). Very nice to be able to adjust stiffness! One negative side, is the need to cut and saughter the strut to the wheel older - something that newer versions of the Coilovers from CEIKA should consider (having an intact original suspension is needed for the inspection in some countries). I will now have to identify original pieces just to ensure I can keep the car in the country as the CEIKA are not homologated in Switzerland.
Never received item. Ceika didn’t want to help replace order nor did FedEx . Terrible service and experience I will never ever order anything from them again.
Haven’t installed them but it look good !
After a few adjustments with the damping of the rear shocks - Its Perfect
The bouncing is eliminated with Ceika

The ordering process for the coilover conversion kit was a breeze, the customization options surpass all other tuning parts manufacturers I have conducted busines with in the past 22 years of automotive modification. The parts fit and finish was great, especially for that price. Install was a breeze, literally a 1 to 1 parts swap to convert the old factory mercedes airmatic airsuspension to a fully adjustable coilover suspension setup. Communication was always timely and on point. I can highly recommend! Thanks again!
Bought the front kit for my Infinity QX70, they work great and look awesome, looking forward to buy the rear disc kit.
The Ceika struts, shocks, and springs for my Mazda CX-9 are a great upgrade over the stock parts. The bonus is that I was able to get them on for about the same price as OEM replacements. The difference between OEM and Ceika is night and day in terms of ride and handling.
Looks good and high quality but customer has not drop off the vehicle. Please stand by
Absolutely fantastic kit! I’m so impressed with the setup. The car rides fantastic and feels incredible. Very happy with the product!
The wait felt like forever but it was worth it! These coilovers let me get the height I was looking for and the ride with them set on the middle of the compression/rebound is good especially considering that LA roads are notoriously bad. It feels like the car has almost no body roll and handles excellent. I went with the "true coilover" for the front and have the camber maxed out, which isn't much, about 2º but glad to have the camber plates on top.
Overall super satisfied, the customer service was very responsive, the car rides great; firm and sporty. I love the look and the build quality is first rate.
I have air suspension in the rear. Ceika was very proactive in working with my to ship out just the front suspension I needed for my 2018 E400 wagon. The communication, advice, etc was incredible. I got the suspension in, installed with no problem and the drop is perfect. The ride is perfect. These should be priced higher, but I'm glad they're not. They're awesome.
Suite à une commande j’ai dû contacter le SAV 3jours avant de finir par tomber enfin sur quelqu’un au téléphone
Sinon niveau pièce c’est pas trop mal mais je suis assez déçu des finitions (contour de suport destrier délimité au scotch papier donc forcément on vois la démarcation irrégulière de la peinture) pour le reste ça m’a l’air d’être pas trop mal reste à voir dans le temps après plusieurs mois d’utilisation
Very please with product fitment and performance. Car handling greatly improved and looks impressive. Great product and great customer service!
Fantastic product. My 2007 Saab 9-3 convertible drives like new with a heightened level of performance without losing to much daily drivability
