Coilovers
Coilovers for Japanese and European Performance Cars
Coilovers are the quickest way to dial in ride height, handling balance and damping in one kit. Our range spans entry-level height-adjustable setups through to full remote-reservoir and damper-control systems, suiting everything from a daily-driven Sydney commuter to a dedicated The Bend track car. We stock coilover brands chosen for consistent quality control, genuine local parts support and proven results across Japanese and European platforms, not filler lines picked to bulk out a catalogue.
Shop by Vehicle
Coilovers are available for popular platforms including Subaru WRX/STI, Toyota 86/GR86, Nissan Silvia/200SX and Skyline/GT-R, Mazda MX-5, Honda Civic and Integra, and VW/Audi models, plus a wide range of other Japanese and European chassis. Use the search or filter tools on this page to find your specific model, or get in touch if you need help confirming fitment.

Why Coilovers
A coilover replaces the factory strut and spring with a height-adjustable damper unit, usually with separate compression and rebound tuning. This lets an owner set corner weights, lower the car to a specific ride height rather than relying on a fixed drop, and match spring rates to how the car is actually used. Entry-level kits suit daily street cars chasing a cleaner stance and sharper turn-in, while multi-way adjustable and remote-reservoir kits suit cars doing regular track days where heat management and repeatable damping matter. We stock a spread across that whole range so buyers aren't forced into a track-focused kit for a car that never leaves the street, or vice versa.
Fitment & Installation
Coilover kits are matched to specific chassis codes and, on some platforms, to drivetrain layout or factory suspension type, so it's worth confirming the exact model and year before ordering. Most installations are a bolt-in swap for the strut and spring assembly, though lowered ride heights often need camber correction via camber arms, camber plates or an alignment kit to bring geometry back within spec. A wheel alignment is essential after fitment, and some kits may require complementary parts such as new sway bar end links or bushings if the originals are worn. Installation is generally carried out by a suspension specialist or qualified mechanic with the right tools for spring compression and torque specs.

FAQ
Will coilovers fit my exact model and year?
Fitment varies by chassis code and sometimes by drivetrain or trim, so check the listed compatibility for your specific vehicle before ordering.
Do I need an alignment after fitting coilovers?
Yes. Ride height and camber both change once coilovers are fitted, so a wheel alignment is essential to bring the car back within spec.
Can I adjust ride height without changing the spring rate?
Most coilovers separate ride height adjustment from spring rate, so height can be tuned without swapping springs, within the range the kit allows.
Do these kits ship Australia-wide?
Yes, we ship coilover kits across Australia.
What warranty applies to coilovers bought from Chicane?
Warranty terms follow the manufacturer's warranty for each brand we stock; check the individual product listing for specifics.
