Jic coilovers. Wrong bolt hole size.

I have JIC coilovers that say Y33 on them, but the caliper backet bolt holes are too small. I got them all the way on until then and now I'm stuck. Can I drill out the holes while they are on the car? I really want to avoid taking them off and putting my stock suspension back on because it's a bitch.

Thanks for any help,
Dom.

I think they are 12mm and the bolt is 13mm if I am correct.

May be Y32 coils instead??? thats the way my Y32's were but I used Skyline brakes instead of teh factory Q breaks??

It says Y33 on the sticker on the strut. Everything else lines up except the caliper bracket holes. I'm oging to have to return it to stock and take them to a machine shop I guess.

Which Y33? I think certain versions of the Cedric/Gloria came with bigger brakes on certain years???

I dunno, it's in Japanese.

you can re-drill them to 14mm, that is the actual size you need for Y33 Q45, when I did my S14 susp conversion I had to redrill my spindles to fit the Q brakes on them, more than likely you have y32 coilovers

Dom i was not aware that they were Y32 ..:pat:i can't go after the shipper its been a year  and they importer has changed owners ..  what is the cost of the re drilling @ the shop to make them work ?

there are different models of the y33 in japan...v6 models have 12mm and v8 models are 14mm...all u.s. models are v8...

Not sure. I will prob price it out tomorrow if I get my car back on top of the stock stuff. I am just mostlly pisses I did all the work for nothing. But it's not your fault Kingpin. They do say Y33 on them.

he will be fine with re-drilling them, just a little time consuming

just do Skyline/300Z brakes or upgrade tp G35 brembo's with the adapter bracket...

Don't have the $$ to do that.
