Nissan Silvia S15 MCA RED Coilover Kit and Michelin PS4 Fitment Adelaide
Quick answer
This Nissan Silvia S15 came into Autosport Tyre World for a full suspension and tyre refresh: an MCA RED coilover kit, four 235/40R18 Michelin Pilot Sport 4 tyres and four-wheel alignment. For a modified rear-wheel-drive coupe, the important part is not only fitting the parts, but finishing the job with ride height checks, clearance checks, tyre pressures, balancing and alignment.

Fitment notes for S15 owners
The Nissan Silvia S15 responds clearly to suspension and tyre changes because it is light, rear-wheel drive and popular with enthusiast drivers. After installing coilovers, the key checks are front and rear ride height, spring seat position, damper adjustment baseline, brake hose clearance, wheel and tyre clearance, and whether the car settles evenly once back on the ground.
The Michelin Pilot Sport 4 in 235/40R18 is a strong street performance choice for this type of car. It suits drivers who want steering response and wet-road confidence without moving into a more track-focused tyre. On Adelaide roads, that balance matters because a car may see weekday traffic, Magill Road commuting, weekend hills driving and hot summer road surfaces.
Why alignment finishes the job
Coilovers change more than how the car sits. They can also change toe, camber and the way the tyre contacts the road. Four-wheel alignment after installation helps protect the new Michelin PS4 tyres from uneven wear and gives the S15 a stable, predictable baseline.
For a performance car, alignment is part of the installation rather than an afterthought. It helps the car steer cleanly, brake more consistently and track straighter on local Adelaide roads.
