hi guys,
just wanted to see if anyone has used the evo1/2/3 oem absorbers + springs before? im looking to convert my wira GSR back to "comfortable-like-stock standard" cos ive got a baby on the way...been using adjustables for many yrs, and its time to change...
so i've asked around, and got mixed opinions, which got me all confused...i wanna go back to the stock standard comfort level, dont bother about performance anymore...so obviously oem is the way to go...question is, which oem shocks+springs?
my foreman suggested to go for either mitsu oem 1.6 or 1.8 (mivec/mirage or gsr) setup, and he says 1.6 & 1.8 are the same...i imagined 1.8 would have a different damping rate or spring stiffness since the engines are different in weight...blur....
then i asked a fren who sells performance parts...he recommended me to go for evo oem setup...and he says 1.8 GSR and evo1/2/3 are exactly the same in terms of the damping and stiffness...double blur....the oni concern he mentioned is that using the evo setup in wira GSR may be too high for my liking - possibly more than 4 fingers gap between wheel & fender...i've even checked the kerb weight of both GSR & evo, quite similar but evo is ~50kg heavier so i suppose evo setup can still be used...
i know the best would be to use back GSR oem setup, but it is hard to come by...evo plenty available...
im still in limbo what set to change, anyone have experience or advise?
thanx in advance...
