Funny thing happened
Yesterday I had install the absorber & spring. But the spring is so damn high. Maybe they gave me the wrong product although the sticker say is for wira 1.5. The shop I buy saw the picture and refund for me. Even A uncle drive a modified Pajero saw my car also say,wah why your wira so damn high a?Hahahahahahaha
so funny... did you take a picture from the side view... it looks like a buggy car :rofl:

I've also equipped mine with Wira 1.6 rear anti roll bar during the upgrade. You mean front strut bar? Because front already got anti roll bar originally.
I don't think mine is original one. The ex owner install a aftermarket one. I tot front also have front anti roll bar? At the front bottom one.

Ask yourself why compressor magnetic clutch is damaged. Were you experiencing sudden clutch/declutch prior to this?

Also contemplate whether it's worth paying 150 for a new clutch when a recond compressor comes with one.

while idling in traffic I feel the rpm is a little bit weird. Is like going up abit going down abit feel. Is not really notiseble.

That's usually the case. But RM480 for a new compressor is not too bad if it includes workmanship and gas. If recon then that's a no-go. Don't bother with halfcut aircon compressors la. Aircon use new because Wira aircon parts is the cheapest option out there. Myvi aircon compressor new is RM850-900. China mari is RM600. And this is the old 1.3 Myvi not the latest model.

Now juz only the magnetic coil rosak so juz change that. RM200 include labour & masuk gas

Nice springs. Comes with helper springs! The newer Gabs don't seem to have that. You see the shorter and thinner coils at the top? That one usually compresses faster so you get more or less comfy ride, under load only the thicker bottom springs compress and that one usually quite stiff. What are the spring rates given?
Spring rate I am not sure. I didn't go and check it. Hahahaha

rpm going up/down when aircond compressor kick in.
Or it happened when car idle + aircond OFF.
Idling+aircond open already. Juz you will feel abit rpm up down.
Today after changing the magnetic coil seem ok now.
Don't have any rpm up down.

Why change the whole compressor for recon unit if only the magnetic clutch got problem? Compressor working fine.....:driver:
