At Nippon Auto Spares Ltd., we get how much the right suspension setup can transform your drive. Whether you’re aiming for comfort or sharper handling, matching parts properly makes all the difference.

We specialise in genuine Japanese car parts, including performance suspension components, trusted by drivers across the UK and beyond. In this guide, we’ll explain the benefits of Japanese suspension upgrades, what to look for, and why sourcing through reliable Japanese breakers, like us, can save you time, money, and hassle.

Why Upgrade Your Suspension?

Your car’s suspension affects more than ride comfort. It impacts stability, cornering, braking, and how connected you feel to the road. An upgrade typically involves swapping out factory parts for higher-performance alternatives, available through our network of Japanese car breakers and Jap breakers.

Suspension upgrades often include:

• Shocks and struts
   
• Springs (lowering or performance)
   
• Sway bars and bushings
   
• Control arms and mounts

Whether you drive a classic JDM model or a newer Japanese import, fitting the right suspension parts makes a big difference to your overall driving experience.

Why Choose Japanese Suspension Parts?

As specialists in Japanese car spares UK wide, we’ve seen first-hand the quality that Japanese performance brands deliver. 

Here’s what makes Japanese suspension parts a smart upgrade:

• Built to withstand real-world conditions
   
• Often adjustable, giving you control over ride height and firmness
   
• Designed specifically for Japanese cars, ensuring a proper fit
   
• Available in excellent condition from low-mileage vehicles through our network of Japanese suppliers

We import monthly shipments directly from Japan, where vehicles are taken off the road early due to strict ‘Shaken’ inspections and high ownership costs. That means we offer used suspension systems that are still in top condition, with lower mileage than you’ll typically find in the UK.

Trusted by Jap Car Breakers Across the UK

Not all Jap breakers are the same. At Nippon Auto Spares Ltd., our difference lies in quality control. Every part we sell is thoroughly inspected for wear, damage, and function, before it goes into our warehouse or onto your car.

We work closely with Japan-based partners to hand-select components from trusted sources. Whether you’re a weekend enthusiast or a professional technician, we provide reliable, genuine Japanese auto parts UK customers can trust.

We stock suspension components for:

• Honda
   
• Nissan
   
• Toyota
   
• Mazda
   
• Subaru
   
• Mitsubishi
   

And we regularly source rare performance setups for classic and modified vehicles through our bespoke part sourcing service.

Why Buy Through a Japanese Car Breaker?

Buying through a trusted Japanese car breaker gives you access to OEM and performance parts at a much better price than buying new. Here’s what you can expect when buying suspension through Nippon Auto Spares:

• Genuine parts, not cheap imitations
   
• Parts sourced from low-mileage vehicles
   
• Direct imports from Japan
   
• Expert guidance before and after sale
   
• Warehouse pickup available in Derby or secure UK delivery
   

Many of our customers turn to us when they can’t find the part anywhere else. Thanks to our large network of Japanese breakers, we can often track down suspension parts that are no longer available through dealerships or UK suppliers.

Spot the Signs: When to Upgrade Your Suspension

If your car’s handling feels off or your ride is rougher than usual, it might be time to check your suspension. Common signs include:

• Clunks or knocking over bumps
   
• Excessive body roll when cornering
   
• Nose-diving under braking
   
• Uneven tyre wear
   
• Loose or vague steering
   

Even if nothing feels wrong yet, replacing ageing suspension components can restore your car’s original feel, or take it to the next level.

Installation: Get It Fitted Right

While some enthusiasts fit parts themselves, we always recommend professional installation, especially for adjustable or modified setups. Correct fitting ensures your suspension works properly, and a full alignment afterward protects your tyres and steering response.

If you’re local to Derby, we can recommend nearby specialists. And if you're further afield, we’ll help make sure your parts arrive ready for fitting with no surprises.
