Listed for: 1996-2002 Nissan Cima (Y33)Fitment notes & questions

With these SF Racing Air Struts, the 1996-2002 Nissan Cima (Y33) can sit low for shows and still lift up for real-world roads, because each corner rides on an air spring instead of a fixed coil.

1996-2002 Nissan Cima setup details

Damper bodies are 52mm front and 50mm rear. Damping is 1-way, with one adjuster that changes rebound and compression together. The front top mounts are aluminum with rubber bushings, with aluminum camber plates with pillowball bushings available as an option. At the rear, the mounts are aluminum with rubber bushing.

Key features

  • Air springs in place of steel coil springs, so ride height is set with air pressure
  • 1-way damping adjustment (rebound and compression set together)
  • Air management (compressor, tank, valves and controller) is needed to run air struts; contact us to confirm exactly what is included with this listing
  • Bolt-on replacement for the factory struts, unless the notes below say otherwise

Important: Requires welding for installation.

Who it suits

Best suited to show and street cars that need to sit low but still clear driveways, ramps and speed bumps.

About this air suspension kit for the Nissan Cima

Air suspension lets you raise and lower the car on demand, so a Nissan Cima can sit low when parked and still clear driveways and speed bumps.

Fitment notes

  • Listed for: 1996-2002 Nissan Cima (Y33).
  • Model years: 1996-2002. Check your car's year falls inside this range.
  • Chassis code Y33: the same model name is often used across several chassis codes, so match the code, not just the name.
  • Factory adaptive dampers: if your car has electronic or adaptive suspension, check whether the listing covers it or needs a cancellation kit.
  • Specs, lead time and warranty come from SF Racing and can change. The details above this guide are the latest we have.

Not sure it fits? Send us your year, make, model, trim and drivetrain and we'll check with the supplier before you order.

What else to plan for

  • An alignment. Any change in ride height changes camber and toe. Set your final height first, then align.
  • Camber and toe adjustment. Bigger drops often need adjustable arms or camber plates to align properly. See alignment and camber kits.
  • Management. Air struts need a compressor, tank and controller unless the listing says they're included.
  • Wheel and tire clearance. Check clearance at full lock and full compression, especially with wider wheels. Our ride height and wheel fitment calculator shows how much drop and offset change you are planning.

Questions about Nissan Cima air suspension

Will this fit my Nissan Cima?
It is listed for the 1996-2002 Nissan Cima (Y33). Check your year, model, drivetrain and chassis code against the product title. If anything is different, contact us and we will confirm fitment with the supplier before you order.
Do I need an alignment after installing air suspension?
Yes. Changing ride height changes camber and toe. Set your final height, let the suspension settle, then get the car aligned.
How low can I go?
It depends on the adjustment range the brand lists, your wheels and tires, and how you use the car. Most cars that are driven hard work best with a modest drop that leaves enough suspension travel.
Where do specs and warranty details come from?
From SF Racing. We sell parts from several brands and suppliers, and each one sets its own specs, lead times and warranty terms. The product details above are the latest we have.
