::What is comfy other than Eibach?::

[civic EdGe]

Hi All Sifuz of suspension and lowered rides,

im driving a honda civic eg with 17 inch rims, and now i "think" that my suspension kong de..
coz rear is 2 fingers gap, but my front is around 5fingers.....
and my rear feels a lot stiffer than the front
thanks to that my ride now very special and looks like motorboat..
so, now the idea i currently have is:
1. change to ori absorbers + lowered springs
2. change to short stroke abs + lowered springs

Which option is better? and what abs or springs should i go for?
my priority is like.........
60%-lowered look and 40%-comfort...
pls recommend me something other than koni+eibach coz my wallet is not thick enough
for dat.........
Thanks for helping this newbie...

budgeted suspension modders might wanna look into RS suspension... tuned locally by experts.... customization wise, to those who did it, i havent heard any complaints... but for those who havent try it before, many does not dare to do it...

thats what they said lah... i got no money to try... they say eibach springs lowers ur car... but yet it matches well with ur oem absorbers, so it doesnt gets bumpy so much....

avoid buying those spring that especially made for 2.0.it wont suit ur car as
the spring is hard to accommodate the big engine.i don't think it's ez to look
for sport spring for ur car but u can try n ask around for it.

skywalker-
yup yup... thats wat they all mechs said........
"u want comfort, go for eibach.... german brand.. onli harder than ori spring little bit"... but after knowing the price, haihz....... RS springs? nvr heard b4..
where can i find them?

GT Auto-
thought about tein springs too.... but tein alon also has lots of models rite?
heard that the tein s-tech springs are designed for comfort...
but wat absorbers should i pair them to?

Thankx to all for helping....

 

[GT_AUTO]

stock abs should do it.

not RS springs lah... RS (rosli smart) suspension... jz bring ur standard suspension to the mechanic and he will modify ur suspension.. means cutting ur springs and refilling ur absorber with higher density oil... price is reasonable for budget modders, around rm350-rm400 for full set... fully customized for ur preference (he will interview u first of what settings u like)...

yes, many think it as a taboo for cutting ur standard springs... in fact, i'm also against it... but if ur chopped springs is compensated with re-oilled stiffer absorbers, den its ok... because the lost/ruined spring rate is compensated by a stiffer/modded absorber.... reliability issue, i'm doubtful as well since it involves drilling ur absorber... but so far, reviews from some users said after using for 2 years plus still doing fine, no leaks...

so, its ur choice la... i'm not 100% supporting RS suspension... but if ur standard absorbers are dead and ur budget limited, why not give it a try...

i know that modifying the stock suspension will be the cheapest solution available......but, one thing that im concerned is...... there are alot of RS workshops rite? eg ramli smart, rocky suspension, rajasingam spring-cut etc etc..(just for example purposes ONLY..:embarassed: ).... and i still havent heard of any reputable shop in penang that does this.... secondly, im yet to confirm that i wont be afraid to drive my car after the suspension "surgery" is done.....
anyway, thanks to all sifu sifu that willingly helped me...
cheers...

wa... really a sifoo in disguise...... got apprentice summore....
can i be your apprentice too? ..

simon-
so far the brands that i came across here is tein, tanabe, GAB, eibach,
hotbits, etc etc.... never came across maxspeed before, but will scout around for more options and comments.....

ae101rulez-
titan? dun la bro, u want to see me makan roti and kopi for months ar....:embarassed: .....
btw, what happened to your car? the word rally made me imagined that your car fly over the bump then perform a powerslide...

GT Auto-
im also curious about originality.... if the price offered is too good to be true,
then we will know that there is a probability that its fake..
but wht if the price is just nice?... unless the logo stated there is not TEIN, but TIEN ("sky" in chinese, so its CHINA BRAND... ), its hard for us to determine whether its original or not rite?:hmmmm:

 

[tonytony]

bro civic,
RS type ive used before (for many years). the dam thing is so tahan lasak. comfort wise, ok lar. Pls note that as soon as u lower ur car, it will never be comfy...never is the word & no matter if you install a RM5k system in ur ride.
coilovers are the worst for comfort. for cornering and spirited driving, then its ok. town driving, tell u wat...u'll be visiting the chiropractor soon
eibach and koni i also use before. the best combi i've tried. unfortunately, the koni isn't very lasting (for 1 reason or another)
now, i jst cut 1 loop of my ori springs and pair it with kyb gas shocks. so far so good, 2 years down the road and no leakage on the abs. however, cornering is severely compromised...and pls dont think you can pek corner, coz you cant !!!! comfort wise...ok. best thing is...its the best bang for your money.
so, if money is your predominant factor, then jst chop 1 loop ori springs and drive conservatively. try it, and if you don't like it...well, the money is only wasted on doing alignment (approx RM40 max).

cheers !
