Conversion GSR 1.8 Turbo (4G93T) - Wira/Satria/Putra

[niklys]

as long as u have bodyshift function and soft-hard function on adjustable, then easier to tweak the setting later

Yeah, going to go for full threaded coilovers. That extra customization option is going to be warmly welcomed to get the right settings for my car.

Though, any good brands nowadays that we can choose nowadays? Secondhand orfirsthand, as long as serviceable, is fine. Was thinking Cusco 6k/4k or AR Racing would come to mind.

Just survey around on the cost of rims and tyres between the sizes before you decide and also tyre choices and availability....

I’m planning to put aside 3k just for wheels. If a little extra is needed, wont mind going for it. Any brands out there that we can go for?

In total, my cash budget is rm35k for this project (all-in, GSR swap, support mods, etc). Wonder how should i break it down hmmmmm

on the safe side you set aside 15k for halfcut + replace wear n tear parts.
left 20k ..

Depend also on design. I prolly want ori TE37, or Advanti, but afraid cant clear or clear with extremely little clearance. To avoid this, go 16 lu hahahaha

can clear bro. i see lots of wira with evo twinpot calipers using 15".

HWL st1 is 8k/4k , maybe i got lemon one or installation problem (not by dealers). No leaked, everything in order.
Steering feel so light like feather above 90kph. During that time i also noobs, din try 6k spring.
"I not sure whats happening". Everything checked, steering rack, tie rod, alignment...etc all OK. Try many dampening settings. I give up after 9mths.
After replaced other brand 6k/4k the car feel planted.

Maybe 8 too stiff. In fact I feel my old suspension on my vr more planted too. Got this new set from a friend. The front he fitted to his ride but seldom use, later he cancel his project so I ask him to sell the suspension to me. The rear kept at his home, so is practically new. However find them stiff, even at softest setting, it jumps a lot, don't have the planted feel.....lol

stock default spring is 8k/4k... what i usually did is asked them to swap different spring rate fresh from the box....

u should just swap the springs...because almost all adjustable suspension spring is swappable without any problem.. (except some brand like TEIN front spring is in bigger diameter coil and other expensive brands)
