Spring Questions

[peachmonkey]

Hi all!

I've got some questions about the springs and shocks of my car. I've asked around but I've been getting very inconclusive answers. Hopefully I can shed some light here.

I'm driving a Wira 1.5. I've replaced the original springs with APM lowered spring about 3 years ago. However, the road condition has degraded exponentially making it almost impossible to drive a lowered wira. I'm considering reverting back to my original springs but I really dislike the 'softness' of the original 1.5 Wira suspension.

My questions are:

1. Are there any other springs that have a similiar ride height with the Wira but stiffer in nature? (2nd hand or AEM)

2. Is it possible to use the original Wira springs coupled with AEM Gas Shocks? Would this increase the stifness of the ride?

3. Any suggestions or other alternatives?

Thanks in advance.

yeah would like to know bout it too....as for me, i dont like the original height clearance from the wheels, also dont like the harsh ride quality. look like lorry when u have big rims.

any branded spring that will give a reasonably low, stable and comfortable ride to our car?

1)yes,change ur whole suspension to the oem 1.6/1.8.

2)yes,it will slightly increase ur suspension stiffness.

3)yes,u can use back ur stock spring n match it with gas charge absorber.
try ask around about monroe sensatrac.

Thanks for the feedback. A few more questions if its not too much trouble.

1. When you say 'whole suspension' are you refering to both the springs and the shocks? If I used the suspension set from a 1.6 Wira would it fit without any modifications?

2 & 3. So your suggesting using my stock springs (1.5 Wira) with monroe sensatrac shocks? Do I use this combination for both the front and rear?

Which suggestion would yield better results in terms of handling and ground clearance?

Thanks again!
