Default [Help]Springs?

Currently using hi-low adj cusco suspension and I feel that it is getting a little too hard and bumpy for me.
Could I change the springs to make it softer?
Or what else could I do?(Besides changing suspension no budget.)
And some people said changing springs is bad and might dmg the suspension.
????

try change to other brand.... cusco is memang popular for its stiffness and handling performance... if u want comfort, try something else, especially produced locally for local spec.....

bro, you should just replace the springs with tein s-tech soft or medium tension. that should solve your problem. changing the spring will NOT damange the absorber. :)

you can do a check. measure the cusco free spring length and the diameter of the spring. use it to compare against the tein or any other brands, if its the same, you can use them. :)

by the way i got tein spring for evo 4/5/6 going at SGD$80nett self-collect in Singapore.

yes. you should be able to use the softer spring if the free spring length and the diameter of the spring is the same. cheers.
