::What is comfy other than Eibach?::

[simon]

simon-
so far the brands that i came across here is tein, tanabe, GAB, eibach,
hotbits, etc etc.... never came across maxspeed before, but will scout around for more options and comments.....

yep i too have never come across maxspeed in any shops in my place...only one shop had it & the box never carried any info abt place/address of manufacturer & my friends were joking tht i bought the most 'cheaplak' spring in the market (rm120 a set) but now when they test my car they say the feel is 'almost' same as a standard ride eventhough my tyres re 45 series...somethimes cheap stuff works lah....not all the time

 

[iz282]

u can be my sifoo also if u want...

This what i called real SiFoo...!!

 

[strangex2]

Lol. Cheap stuff works, but for how long? In the long run, it might be more worth it get a RM500+ springs which last longer and give you better comfort rather than changing a cheap set over and over again.

Lol. Expensive stuff guaranteed to last longer???? how sure???101% sure ??? its not 100% guaranteed that the expensive stuffs will give you better comfort than cheaper ones or will last a lifetime.....nothing is guaranteed

eibach is TUV tested...

 

[strangex2]

Of course not all expensive stuff guaranteed to last longer lah, but there are certainly some brands which perform better but cost more. It's all subjective.

And of course there are cheaper brands which will give you more comfort (again, subjective) than more expensive brands.

 

[GT_AUTO]

DR spring also got TUV cert u know.cos less then eibach....hahaha.

strange..... today i went to change my brake pads, so i asked the mechanic uncle bout the symtoms of a faulty suspension... first, he asked me to look if there is any oil leaking out from my absorber... so i checked, but my absorbers were very dry... then, he tried to compress the abs through pushing down the chassis several times.... he said nothin is wrong... he made me feel like my abs are very healthy.... arrgghh...... then how come my front gap is 5 fingers when my rear gap is only 2 fingers?... ...
i think even if i put lowered springs, my car wont achieve balance..... sob...

this i agree

correct me if i'm wrong sifo but gas charge abs also got oil inside.

this is twin tube design that we comonly encounter at spare parts shop.

in this pic,it's a mono tube.above the dividing piston is oil while the lower part
is gas.

 

[boggysv]

then how come my front gap is 5 fingers when my rear gap is only 2 fingers?

get the hookers out of your trunk, that might help.

btw, you seem confused between shocks and springs.

 

[DareDan]

how bout GAB? izit ok? cause i heard many testimony that GAB is good...
but price...hehe it will burn a hole in ur wallet...

 

[tonytony]

all shocks has got oil, and its a good way of telling when the abs are no good when u see oil stains around the abs

 

[jojo9984]

hi guys..wat about Improve brand??izit good???recommended??

 

[Malakian]

SkYwAlKeR and civic EdGe, I think I have the contact number of Mr. Rosli, the owner of Rosli Smart Suspension. So, I post here ok. This is not an advertisement, just to help our friend to contact this person. Please don't ban me. :rolleyes: The contact number is: 0192309961.

The price range are:

Refill oil of one absorber: RM50
Cut 2 spring infront: RM50

You must bring your OEM spring and shock absorber. Only oil-filled absorber can be customized by Mr. Rosli. Gas charged oil-filled absorbers cannot be done by him. Make sure your absorbers are in good condition. I think the theory for his customization is something like 'to compensate the new cut spring rate with a suitable absorber's oil rate.' From the internet forums, most of his customers gave positive reviews.

I have the address and the map also, but maybe latter. I'm also considering to customize my springs and absorbers there.

how can GAB be expensive?
It's pretty much a local brand, i'd say, and comparatively, there are several more expensive makes out there.

sifoo skywalker-
mine are stock absorbers.... and i think if i have not mistaken they are 14 yrs old de.....

boggysv-
last time i did have lots of rubbish in my trunk... but now after clearing them out, i still cant see any difference on the ride height....
confused between abs and springs? u mean i have mistaken between these two definations? or u mean the ride height of my car is determined by the springs itself only?:hmmmm:


hmm.. i think i already have some base idea in my mind....
that is to change to lowered springs first... if still cannot obtain balance, change to short stroke abs.... if still cannot, then...............
have to get use to my current motorboat-style-ride height loh........
...wat to do, no money to change car...:boring:

because they have the so-called AVCS thing.... active valve control system...

14 yrs old and have yet to change ur absorbers??...

jz a reminder, when u start to lower ur car height, ur comfort will surely compromise... to obtain the balance is depending on each individual...

 

[civic EdGe]

sifoo skywalker-
Nolar, i didnt mean tht....
i mean balance between front fender gap and rear fender gap....
eg. front 2 fingers between fender and tire, rear also more or less 2 fingers...
front-high, rear low like my current motorboat style, i dun like....
front-low, rear high like the rally wira's i also dun like....
.......sory 4 being picky.. just want something that suits my taste..
