    Need some help. Am soon due for maintenance replacement of my 1997 Nissan Cefiro parts. Does anyone know what are the OEM's of the ff. parts:

    - front stabilizer links
    - brake pads
    - shock absorbers

    The original parts from Nissan is, as expected, quite expensive. I would also appreciate if you can share how much and where I can buy these OEM parts.

    By the way, one store along Taft Ave. said that the OEM of the stabilizer link is Paraut (P900/pair). Is this accurate? Thanks in advance.

    oem prices won't be far off kung bibili ka sa casa or sa labas.

    for the brake pads better to get tanabe pads! they are much more capable of stopping the cefiro than stock pads.

    brake pads...bendix standards lang, jolly good value, if there's one that fits the cefiro.

    money is an issue? try mo pa-repair sa cruven or zee yung stab links and shocks mo. half the replacement costs.

    nice car...yan ba yung may VQ engine? i always wanted a cefiro...i like the big daddy looks, hihihi.

    For the shocks, KYB Gas is what was fitted in our Cefiro Elite before...

    For the stab link, i'd go with OEM. Shouldnt be too expensive. Try checking the CASA price and with JAISI as mentioned. In Pasay there's Advance along Taft (Was this the shop you checked out?). On Youngbros, the prices of their OEM isnt too far off or is actually similar to the CASA price.

    I agree that the brake pads need to be something else. The original brake pads eat the rotor daw, though its stopping power is quite enough for me. How much are tanabe brakes and where are they available? How does it compare to Bendix, which I read (from other threads) was more commonly recommended? Thanks for sharing.

    Thanks, bro! How can I contact cruven or zee? Where can I find them?

    As for the car, yes its VQ engine ... 24valve 6 cylinder ... 6km/ltr city driving and 8.5km/ltr highway driving. And thanks ... at least big daddy car na ngayon ... in the other thread, they called it lolo's car.

    Was there any noticeable difference on the ride when you installed KYB gas shocks? Ito ba yung OEM niya?
