[logen04]

hi all,

i need advice from those who have experinced using hi/lo soft/hard adjustable suspension.

which is better, CUSCO or GAB SS series? and why...


pls advice.


logen.

both brand differs (obviously) in their prices. What your budget like?
A budget would help other to give you their input.

 

[logen04]

2.5k...

my concern is...if i switch to hard, would there still be cushion when i hit potholes...dont want a huge bang, thus losing comfort.

 

[seperlinky]

logen, there are no such thing as comfort when if use switch it to hard.

 

[zthis]

i suggest you buy cusco

 

[GT_AUTO]

what is the spring rate for cusco suspension?is it specially made for wira or u opted for the 1 made
for evo 1,2,3?

 

[ken yeang]

i suggest you buy cusco

Cusco brand is good, but I heard its for competitive driving oriented, so it can be a bit hard for public road driving, esp malaysia road. GAB brand not sure.

Anyway, i advice members try not to buy springs/absorber from kedai potong. They are cheaper but they are (mostly) defective or close to expiration and needed service.

Just me 0.05 cents

evo's body is harder n heavier. if wit tat settin in ur wira sure is a lil bit over, thn u dun hav think bout comfy feelin as it wil b a solid rod like. i put in a 1.8 spring in2 my 1.5 edi make me suffer. wat they said r rite as malaysian road conditon is reali bad. wit tat kind of harder settin ur car may not hold on da road wel or even worse thn ur ori stock suspension.

handlin is not achieve wit hard settin suspension but oso hav 2 consider da road condition, tyres, chassis n ur requirement.

if u said it's for evo,u will feel bumpy.first of all,evo weight 1++kg more then wira.sec,it design
for 4wd car to eliminate squat when the car accelerate meaning if u install on ur car,u will feel
hard at the rear.

i'm also exprience using cusco on wira 1.6, not really bad, sometimes when i press the throttle, power come as i want, like it when speed over 100km not like "sampan"...

But too bumpy when drive slowly..now change to standard one..:proud:

What will be the best suspension to use in order to get comfort and a bit lowered look?

 

[wira3319]

i'm also posted a thread like this b4, the ppl suggest to using HWL adjs abs, not to hard and soft...

 

[Trinityblood]

dun waste u time go for cusco...make sure zero2 coilover one...not the big shaft.
it comes wif adjuster at the body no only the spring palce can be adjusted...sure u
wont regret...forget bout comfort when u chose perfomance part bro..

 

[easymustard]

where to get HWL abs?i mean a new one.

in ur case,u better go for sport spring.

i'm also posted a thread like this b4, the ppl suggest to using HWL adjs abs, not to hard and soft...

it depends on the spring rate.

where to get HWL abs?i mean a new one.

pm me if u want it.:proud:

 

[kazami32]

HWL a nice choice.i am 1 of the hardcore sprited driving user wira SE.
GAB HA Hi-Lo i used b4...but performance & lasting is not in my expected.:hmmmm:

about GAB SS.i donno much.

 

[joshua7paul]

CUSCO is more competitive driving oriented

GAB if u have money get SS series if ur in a budget get HA series. by the way, the new GAB HA series uses the same system as SS series (black in colour and red coils) hence u can adjust the soft/hard (abit more ma'fan to adjust soft/hard compared to SS)..

i believe the complain about HA series is the older model where the height is adjusted by compressing the coils. the newer models, u just the bottom part of the absorber for height.

i am using the HA series on my waja.so far so good.ive set it to hard with abit of softness for damping on normal road. on highways and winding mountainous road, it performs like a charm for the price u pay.

new HA series is 1550, SS series is 2250
