i want to confess...

Ace, i spend too much on the rim, no money to change oledi.
yup, I have spacer installed. Looking for a better 1, according to others in the forum, a spacer with RM300-400 per pair give you lesser vibration.

 

[Ace]

BS,
The best is to go without any spacer. I have mine without spacer. BSA rim have the spec for our coupe. Now the ride is even more firm and stable.

i'm looking into adjustables.

anyone got experience with adjustables on the rd1?

 

[Ace]

adjustable is too expensive to try. The moment you got one that is not to your liking then you are doomed already.

 

[Cow]

@_@

quite true... aih..how ah..

 

[Ace]

try to go for those street/stylist look. Track tuned adjustable is a no no. According to my friend's KONI track tune. He said even 50 cents coin also can feel it. You can imagine when use it on our road.

Cow, Yu have adjustable suspension if I'm not mistaken.

Yu, can share your experience here with us (newbie) here?

Ace, I have no choice,I buy the after market rim, have problem with the nut orientation went I do installation. (actually because I like the rim so much)
but i do agree, no spacer give you much more stable steering response.

Oh, oh! I thought RD1 and RD2 have different weights. But that's also based on the feedback from wengfhai and me.:_:

Yu, what's your engine top stop?

My adjustable suspensions is out now, even when new, NEVER BUY APM ABSORBER. Already replace 4 sets of 4 pcs. within 2 years, but still got problem, after 2-3 months sure got sound.
go for hi-low & soft-hard adjustable suspensions, so u get what u want, if the suspension only have hi-low adjustable, than the soft-hard can be custom make till u like it, can test drive for 2 weeks, if too soft or too hard, they will change it till u like it.

OO okie, thanks for the info.

Adjustables for our coupe can fit wut other cars ah (putra? waja?) ? So easier for me when I go shopping next time

 

[Ace]

FYI, it will be very hard to adjust the rear shock as it is covered up leh (for those shock that the adjustable on the top). unless like GAB brand type there is a knob on the side where you could adjust it yourself for the soft/hard. Just for you all to know.

if i install adjustable, my girl friend sure dun want to sit in Coupe already.

Why, why??:_:

 

[Tuscani9889]

Sure she want to sit hard and bumpy setting ;)

 

[Yu911]

Bs,
The adjustable also got very soft one, even like the ori also have, just b'coz ppl prefer better handling, so they use the harder absorber & harder spring. The hard & soft come from the absorber & the spring, the absorber can be harder from ur oem or the same as the oem, just change the spring to harder or the same as oem, what ever u like. As the adjustable is only adjust once (till u want), & never adjust any more, u will not adjust the soft-hard & the height-low every time u drive, am i right?

 

[BlackSamurai]

kekeke, yah, what i mean it i'm gonna adjust it for performance, not nice to ride at town but fun attacking corner.

 

[Ace]

bs,
now you are going for performance already ah? hehe

 

[BlackSamurai]

thanks for poison from you ....
noleh, i won't go full performance, too many police on the road.

 

[Daniel Lee]

Then go for full bodykit.........kekekekekekeke...........

 

[BlackSamurai]

must have 3-4K in hand if we wanna talk about full bodykit. haiii

 

[Ace]

looks like my poison potion not potent enought. Must go full strength. hehe

 

[Daniel Lee]

this is because treating the cops for coffee will be a strong deter point. :p

 

[BlackSamurai]

our car change bodykit can still claim that "original", coz not much polis know how the original coupe looks like. money is the issue.
