Fellow bros,

Mana mahu cari full suspension bushing set? Original or now with that synthetic polymer thingy.
Anybody change their original shock absorber before? If so where and how much for Front & Rear?

Help Much appreciated.

Recommendations: If you want to change the bushing, stick with rubber. TRD bushes are hard rubber (shore 90) and is properly R&D'd and most probably using the original drawings.

PU bushes are not good. THey are too hard. They require lubrication. And they will harden and crack with time. No matter what sales rubbish you might hear from people that sell them, do stay away.

Thanks for the tip bro, will stick to Rubber bushing. :burnout:
Next question, where to get it? Wing Heng?

And for the shocks, KYB actually makes replacements OEM for altezza? Must be difficult to cari?

Bro
Last time I checked with ST Auto 4 shocks = RM 2K. So I put Tein which is relatively cheaper than stock. RM 3K+. Sumore can adjust height and hard\soft. Think about it.:hmmmm:

When u look at sportivo there is the templet at the shock below together with TRD then KYB is OEM for the TRD and of cozz the price with TRD cost u triple or more due to the branding, for an example of manufacture like JASMA doing OEM for HKS, FGK, TRD & Apexi on their pipe and exhaust............ comon knowledge :biggrin:

Damn, I am confused but the bottom line is the original shock almost cost as much as Tein adjustables. Hmm??? Anybody setup the Tein to the same ride height as the standard setup? M'sia road are horrible, I'm alway scrapping speed bumps.
