[masterpuppet7]

hello all sifus and friends..

i want to know how to make my standard rear absorber for se limited more harder than standard.my car with 16' rims always 'sangkut' at fender. can this standard absorber be service and put extra oil to make it harder??? are there any place that provide this service especially near klang and shah alam?? TQ

Change spring or knock the fenders out. If harder, comfort will be zero! Plus, it won't last long.

You want harder absorbers get the GAS type. the last time i used kayaba GAS absorber for my rear, it was so hard and bumpy my kukujiau also almost fall off... but some ppl like it hard. just my experice to share with you. :emoticon_U:

Grill one hole haha..then pump in darkened engine oils... must used type.. coz i believe those are the most dirties..haha! :D liquid hard till like u cries..haha!! but prons and cons..haha!! u tries it u know it ^_^

hahhaha!!! btw u have to screw that hole back and then pateri it back (what is pateri in english r? haha!! 2 am here now.. my brain is stucked!)...

but if 16 inch..SE r... i guess even after ketuk habis that fender till like roti canai still might hantam a bit ones..coz rear side wheel "lelangit" is sort of like lower ones.. :S guess there has to be hantam also gua.. ^_^

Go to chop shop and get yourself a Kayaba SR Special..... if available that is.... TRD also nice....

And rim offset plays an important role too... have u checked yours? cos if it is OK... a 16 should rubbing the arch internal regularly

my rims manaray sports 16' with 40 off set. now i use 195/55/r16 kumho tyre.
when me and my friend only at friends it's ok. no hantam fender. but when u fly after small bumper.. srapp!!! the tyre touch fender.
if passenger behind with load.. become worse. when taking corner zrappppppp...
walla make me scared tyre will blow:retarded:
can i combined my absorber with sport spring to make it harder? what are the pros and cons. or need to change absorber to at least minimize this problem..

I believe ur rim offset is wrong already. Why not opt for another set of rims with correct offset?

hmm bro.. what off set u suggest for my rim? or do i need to downgrade my rims from 16' to 15 '?

What car r u driving la? :)

Your tire is the problem bro....

If u are using 15" 55 tires is ok..... but for 16" rims.... it is not recommended to use 55..... no wonder la..... just my opinion..... sorry if mistaken

but TRD AE101 only releasing 15" rims.... they never release 16" for AE101 as far as i know but they only use 16" or 17" I am not sure.... on a 3SGE AE101 Limited....

I am using 15" 55... no rubbing but my friend using the same suspension but the tires are 15" 60...... yeah..... rubbing at high speed.....

downgrading is good for yoour fuel consumption and acceleration.....

get a 15" 55 195 tires if u wish to downgrade...

AND A TOYO PROXES 15" 55.... RM 220~240 EACH....

Toyo are better than F****n or P****za or other jap brands....
They are very popular at Japan, USA and UK... singapore widely use TOYO...

Malaysia is not widely use yet as the promotion for it is expensive so supplier just claiming the brands that already POPULAR....

Get a TOYO..... rain, wet or dry... it won't let you down.... trust me.....

hmm bro.. what off set u suggest for my rim? or do i need to downgrade my rims from 16' to 15 '?

 

[swap aka SWAP]

Mine used 15..offset 35 ..7 jj..when fast hit bump..front kena fender..why..used tein..finger gap 1 finger only..tyre 195.55.50

 

[faeizal]

lucky got this thread laaa... almost open a new one on this....

mine is like swap's... 15" offset 35 and 7 jj.... rear kena fender... but the rear use standard SE.G suspension.... so i kena make the camber negative a bit... previously it was negative already... tambah lg...

which bring me to the question...

is it normal SE.G rear camber setting to be negative kaaa??? how do other sifoo's set their rear camber setting???

mechanic told me it's a normal problem for all SE.G.... is it true?

Me

1st setup
-Kayaba SR Special
-RS*R lowering springs
Result: High speed sweep fender.... front

2nd setup
-Stock rear (2 fingers) with stock springs
-Front Carina GT with Carina GT springs
-Carina GT springs cutted cos it is too high and hard
-leave 3 fingers gap front
Result: No rubbing

3rd setup
-TEIN type HA adjustables
-2 fingers, front and rear.
Result: No rubbing at all, Never sweep a speed bump before even many ppl inside.

all setup using 15 55 195 tires
