Come n talk about ur SE ride here....

IMHO, all half-cut absorbers are hydraulic ones. I'm not sure, though. Because my absorbers are hydraulic, taken from a half-cut.

If its hidraulic, then its good.. I regret using gas, didnt last long, not even for a year.. How much was your abs per set of 4?

My front absorbers are stock absorbers from AE101 model, came together with Silvertop engine that I purchased early this year. My rear absorbers are original AE92 model, came together with rear disc brakes. I'm not sure about the price.

If you're looking for a good absorbers, I'd suggest you Kayaba New SR. I think they're hydraulic. If you want a better set, a TRD full adjustable absorbers (hi/lo, soft/hard) would be the best choice. You might want to take GAB full adjustable absorbers into your consideration too, as I get good comments from various GAB users. Of course full adjustable absorbers would cost you more, but it's a good investment. I'm planning on changing all my absorbers to TRD, but my pocket says no :rolleyes:

GAB adjustables would cost you around rm1.7k for whole set if i'm not mistaken...
if u take the normal 6kg front and 4kg rear would be ok for day to day drive IMHO...mine are 8kg front and 5kg rear...still bearable..
but different ppl have different taste/opinion...
i've been using them nearly a year...no problems whatsoever for me...
dunno about other users...
wish u happy hunting for new shocks though... :D

I appreciate your input sifus! Ok I got an idea on the prices now..
Last question: can these absorbers be serviced?

My eyes are on KYB n Tokico now but the latter is hard to find..
Thanks guys, I appreciate your help :-)

HWL oso ok...buy new 1...u oso can choose the spring rate depend on ur driving style...:D

 

[hachiroku clan]

HWL.. Servicable? im looking at low-range prices, around 130-170 per piece.. Have you guys heard of ACE? their absorbers are servicable, and later if you decide to convert to adjustable ones, you can use the same absorbers back.. but the price doesn't agree with my wallet, around RM1400-1600..

Ace also not bad...used before in my e30 sr20..
If im not mistaken u can look out for adjustable kits.
I've got a friend who converted his abs to adjustables using the kit.
Some ppl are selling them in mudah.my also.
And hwl, gab, titan, most of them r serviceable nowadays

Nnik: aduh mr president jgn salute2 sgt..sje bsan2 lame xpost..burger ade lg la kt umh ni.hehe

as far as i know.. AE92 4AGE manual gearbox & 20v gearbox not much different if 5 speed..

6 speed = close gear ratio.. not really suitable for AE92 light chassis.. but i've seen people doing this..

5spd gearbox using 6spd wiring no prob.. mayb a lil bit more power if use 6spd ECU.. juz a lil bit

i've only seen/driven a SC engine using blacktop gearbox...
so fast climb to 180km/h....and could see the difference @ 5th gear...

SC gearbox on SC = 5th gear 5k rpm = 180km/h
BT gearbox on SC = 5th gear 5k rpm = not yet 180km/h

yup bro,its true i'm using the blacktop gbox with my sc(st150) the fun of using the bt gb is mid range 3rd gear climb until 165-170km/h boost @ 0.9 bar but on the 5th gear i'm getting 5.5k-6k rpm 200km/h(tune by emange).....

hey...this thread is already dead? can't believe it!

Guess AE90 series or to be exact, Toyota SE (Sedan or Ceilo) in Malaysia should be considered as "VINTAGE"...hehe!

 

[hachiroku clan]

if only the price could be 'vintage' too!
