Eibach, Tein, GAB or tanabe??? for ultimate comfort

[eraserwke]

If you want a good balance of comfort and handling, EIBACH is the best choice, imho. I've used it before and its very, very good. Of course, its even better if you pair it with good shocks.

 

[kurt shinoda]

i vote eibach.happy hunting
good luck to you

 

[wasteg4te]

yeah i agree
spend a lot of money just one time to get a good result
much better than
budget a small amount of money then u get a set of shit absorber
need to repair again and again and again.
at the end of a day. total amount of money is like a hell
its happen to me.
make me cannot sleep thinking of money and my car.
shit.. very bad experience.
so think first.
dont waste your money and times.

for those out there looking to lowered their car w/o having to install adjustable
that always come with a stiffer spring,why not try tanabe NF n match it with
a gas abs.it should be great for town driving.

 

[fazleysyam]

can any sifus help me here..

currently im driving wira se auto..using stock 1.6 absorber and original 1.6 spring (not original wise spring). so my ride is a bit higher compared to the standard wira se..maybe about 1 finger gap..

im planning to change my absorber (front + rear) to improve comfort. Just looking for a good spring to match with..

my priority is comfort..then only comes performance..i drive from wangsa maju to putrajaya daily (about 90km, 30% city and 70%highway)..normally, i will drive around 80kmh to 130kmh..depend on the traffic condition..and if possible, i will take the corner at that speed also..however, sometimes when i balik kampung to penang, i drive up to 180kmh with full loaded bonet (with cloth, bla, bla, bla) and max 3 passanger (wife, sis in law and my son)..

if possible, i would like to maintain my current height (which is higher that stock wira se)..easier to take the bumps in kl..however, im also willing to consider a spring that will return my ride to the stock height..

so, anyone can propose a spring that can be matched with improve comfort absorber which can suits my driving style and priority..currently in my list, eibach n tein..but still need to survey on the price and series..also willing to consider other brands such as gab or whatever..as long as the new setting does not make my ride to low..meaning the the decrease in height is not to significant..i dont want to take risk riding it with such a heavy kargo (including myself..hehehe)

and by budget is around rm700 max

tq

A few people have said - Eibachs are very good. Eibach Prokit. lowers by around 10mm to 15mm as compared to stock. Not too low for bumps.

Sidenote: Anyone selling 2nd hand Eibachs for 1.6/1.8 Wira? :P might wanna get.

I'm using R3 springs now, its not as good. sigh.

I am also thinking of getting eibach pro-kit...but too costly...currently using adjustable...the brand is HIT....not really for performance but comfort is moderate.....but bounce a lot....

 

[clawhammer]

I just changed to Eibach Pro Kit for my car. It's pretty good, not very bumpy but a tad too low :( It's 2 fingers gap front/rear so almost every basement car park would be a problem for my front lip and skirting. Is there a way to increase the height by another 1 finger gap (approx. 8-10mm)?

 

[GT_AUTO]

yup.there's a rubber bushing that can increase ur car height around an inch.
u can try n ask around tyre shop.

 

[weslee]

by adding that thick rubber would it cause unstable in handling?

 

[GT_AUTO]

i don't think so bro.it's kind of hard.if there's a play,it's only minor play.it won't change
ur spring characteristic.

Maybe u can try super street...

 

[harith87]

Do you mean tein adjustble?

 

[kUmUcHaI 11/1]

Support tein spring .. lower and better handling ... not so stiff too

i'm driving inspira 1.8(M), currently install eibach prokit. After install, front stil got gap about 3-4 fingers. Regret...but comfort wise is good. My intension is to lowered my car and comfort maintain 50% la. Eibach prokit fail to lower my car. Got ppl recommend install eibach Sportline(red color spring), it wil look lower. Now i have a problem is whether to change my eibach prokit to Sportline or tanabe NF 210 or change to Adjustable. For adjustable...which one better? Gap SS, Tein SS, any commend BC Racing? My budget is around 2.5k.

any lowering springs on stock absorbers will result in a junk ride quality. get adjustables. tein ss is good, but will cost you more. for your budget, go for bc racing. gab ss is similar (produced from the same bc racing factory), but get the original la since the price is not much diff. to use adjustable effectively, you need to find a good installer. setting up is very important to get a perfect ride.

if you are concerned about stiffness, get lower spring rates. know the stock springs rates of your car, and get something like 2x stiffer springs compared to the stock spring rate. the spring rates of bc racing for inspira is 8k fronts and 6k rears. that's plenty stiff for road use.

For ho much cost for gab ss?and where I can buy it?

 

[xuang26]

Bro beatnik, u r using bc racing now?
Any idea where to get bc racing with reasonable price and good installer?

 

[bladerunner]

I think Eibach are the most comfortable for most models.

But I'm not sure why GAB are considered since the original company in JPN has gone bankrupt and are now represented by local pirates taking advantage of the brand presence.
