Absorber recomendation

[crazykid]

I`m using a stock absorber for my daihatsu.Its a KYB but it useless because the whole absorber will get too soft in 6 month time and i will be able to hear clang clang sound <_< so irritating.Not quite sure if i`m using the same absorber as charade because i drive a ascend.All recomendations are welcome,but dun tell me to use titan ler too expensive for an 10 years old car :D

all daihatsu's absorber is kinda soft....and doesnt last long..i suggest u get GAB...is around RM600 if i'm not mistaken...

hi...tumpang your thread arrr...

just wondering...im driving a satria 1.6 and my fren has a GTI..

his suspension system is stock and the height clearance is 2 fingers front and back...

wondering whether it will result in the same height if i use his whole system....

im taking HIS system over and using it on my car..

i have concerns that it will be higher because my car is lighter..

i suspect it's not the dampers/shock absorbers.

it's the springs. GET NEWer ones.

if hotbits make absorbers for your car,i would highly recommend it.Ive used it on a satria gti before,and the performance/comfort i rate quite highly.

:rolleyes: maby lolx i cant remember when was the last time my parents change the spring.But thats what i wantted to do,change the spring.But the stock shock absorbers is soft,that made me not think about the spring because the road condition of our beloved country is so bad.The other pissing off part is that i dont know the model of the shock absorbers or both size and with of the spring. :unsure:

vr4 absorbers is good for satria in my experience.......if wanna use it's spring then haf to hot compress it.......

 

[jinkl]

vr4 absorbers can fit satria ?

 

[RevMesh]

yup, mine is a good example, appy from the day one....but haven send the stock vr4 spring t compress. currently using apm lowered spring....

 

[jinkl-]

wah.. bro wht the gain of compressing the spring.. is it higher spring rate or wht does it do .. thanks..
i want to compress a evo3 spring hehe

 

[RevMesh]

actually, it' just the other way of lowering the car. but using a stock spring to do it is another thing, but u ain't wanna do it with ur proton stock spring. vr4's stock spring is quite stiff, hence already rigid handling provided, so just need to compress to lower it. when cut instead mean u might be cuttting some part of the coil which suppose to give the comfort.
