Rm8k Wira & Jazz GK5 ownership experience-A long way to go

[Izso]

No no no.. 1.6/1.8 absorbers and springs will jack up the front height of the car.

Try to find Wira SE Springs and absorbers. They are special as the spring cup in the Wira SE absorber is higher up to match with the short but thick Wira SE springs.

The rear is the same as any other Wira.

Personally - if you're gonna go aftermarket, might as well go straight to the HLSH type. And the most budget friendly that's of pretty decent quality is the HWL HLSH coilovers. 2k+ all in. If you're gonna mix and match you're gonna cry if you get it wrong.

For mix & match this is also the concern.If I F up the thing. For daily driving & road trip is a Hi Low bodyshift enough? Compare to a HLSF adjustable.

My 1st thought is
Kyb Gas absorber match with Gab & ftuned spring
only.

This car just for work & some road trip only. No tracking la. Hahahahaha

Exactly why I suggested the 1.6 setup. You get a bit more stiffness but not that much loss in comfort.

No....never us stock absorber with sport spring. U will lose both handling amd comfort. U will thought u nail the handling but actually not as the absorber just cant keep up.

My way last time with my blm ( god knows how many time i repeat this is forum )
Stock absorber and spring plus 3 bars namely front strut, front lower bar, rear arb. Ride is firmer a tiny bit and best of all the car is solid (steering input, feel, stability at high speed). Its very unassuming until the front driver panicked as he cant shake your junk off his back.

Juz an example.

I saw this for wira se,wira 1.8 & 1.6
So if I put this will it jack up my car or what is the outcome?
I am quite confuse. I tot wira have the same chasis so absorber should be the same. Hahahahahaha

 

[KHNG940413]

I heard other ppl say you can slot a proton waja Absorber into Wira as well?!

If this one any sifu will it jack up the car or stay at a oem height???

When you google for Wira suspension, there's a lot of mumbo jumbo on the internet but nothing authoritative. For your 1.5 model, there however seems to be a consensus that the 1.6/1.8 front springs will raise your car's height.

I suggest you read this first- https://www.kyb.com.my/uploads/applicationchart/Proton_-_DONE.pdf

Look under "Suspension Kits" From here, look at the code numbers for front/rear springs.

Rear is the same even for absorber just the front is different.

If I follow what Iszo Sifu get myself a set Wira SE whole set I think is ok? Won't jack up I think?
And the absorber mounting Wira Se can fit normal wira 1.5?

Are you buying new or used springs? I dont think there's anyone selling new Wira SE springs. Spare parts shops are likely to pass 1.6 springs as SE.

I wonder if Satria Neo's springs will fit

Better get new. Visit some spare parts shop. If me, I will find one that stocks the KYB springs. Then ask to compare them
