Hi

For ur information to share, honestly me not much know about gab absorber but me do know a good absorber for satria gti, the brand is TITAN absorber, which hardness, softness, height can be set by the sifu for this brand. If u really interested, u can email to me at [email protected] to get more info. To tell u the truth, my own car now r using the brand, and it function good, and now me r recommending to all who would like to improve the car road handling, braking system, stability and comfort. Kindly not hesitate to email me.

GAB Absorbers

I am using GABs on my VR4 Wira. It's ok, not too bad. Of course you cannot compare with Tein. Good enough for a Satria GTi and many Proton cars. I'm using it for about 1/2 yr already and have been wacking the corners nicely, hills or even flat. Furthermore its cheap.

tq tq

just fitted my satria gti with hwl coilover, tot of using the gab coilover but the hwl set is cheaper then gab. hwl set cost me 1600 plus installaion. the gab coilover set cost around 1800 with installation. i was told that the gab coilover set is just an ordinary absorber but was fitted with thread so that the hieght can be adjust . anyway.. just want to ask again what do u think about this hwl set?? is it worth to service it back after one year?? how much will it cost me to service it back? tq for ya reply anyway

Not really a standard absorber with threads. I actually used their standard abs before I switched to the adjustables and there are differences. I can choose the weight I want for my springs as well as the stiffness of my abs. Aren't all standard absorbers and adjustables the same except that there is height and stiffness customisation?? :D

No no, I also can't adjust the damping rate. I only can do it in the factory. But normally ppl don't adjust damping rates so freq. Once it is set, you'll stick to it. You can go back until you get the right rate.

I do admit, the springs are a little soft. Xtorm, can you change your springs to harder ones?

To be very frank, yes. It's some kind of defect. It happens even more when it's cold in the morning. Just bring it back to change. I think it's something to do with the bushings.
