diff thing lo... spring is the coilover spring look 1 lah...asorber is inside the spring...if asorber kong, then ur car shaking like hell, coz spring become the one hold ur car..so after change lower spring, din change asorber also almost same lah, coz spring lower d, but ascorber din change to cope with ur new spring, den all force kenakan on asorber soon ur ascorber will die...lol~~ dunno how to explain..

sonictheory,

according to raymond.. eibach pro kit springs will gradually get lower.. it makes sense to me as those springs supports your car weight, so as times pass it'll slowly decrease in height..

not to mention it seems to match with our stock absorbers.. a mis-match of absorbers and springs will result in your absorbers leaking after a period of time..

i have no idea how much they costs though.. but if not mistaken, gab springs costs around rm550 - 650 whilst their adjustables costs rm2.8k (both quoted by racingfit when i saja ask last time).. absorbers that are sold separately, i'm not sure because i've never asked before..

eibach pro-kit springs is around rm800-900 wif installation?
absorbers/adjustables price i don't know.

adjustables usually comes with springs (linear if not mistaken), and depending on the set.. there's either hi-lo or soft-hard adjustments, sometimes even both..

 

[Stylites-x]

omg means if i lowered, i need to do springs n absorber too ? wah .. damn fucked up ler. if change either 1 kenot ar ? then if lowered, my original car absorber need to take out ? kenot use back same 1 mer ..
how much ar ?
n guy, recomendations n ideas ?

 

[sonictheory]

can, u can lowered by spring....but stock asorber are meant to be for the stock spring height. now lowered d, the spring tend go lower, means the whole car now relay on absorber more... so very soon ur absorber will be kong....but u can alwiz slowly do lah, now i also change spring havent change absorber... if u lower with spring, use back absorber loh, spring take out...if lower both, both take out.... normally depend on what brand u want to put...normally those spring good brand like eibach cost around 800-900rm dunno with installation o not.... den Tanabe around 700....tien maybe same o lesser abit....den GAB ard 550 ....absorber normally around or more than 1k++

i know alot of ppl will recommend eibach... so its ur choice lah... i choose RSR cos more lowered and very reputable in japan...and price cheaper than eibach...but now still dunno what absorber to match...coz they dun produce the absorber model for us city, swt.. which i wonder why they produce spring but not absorber together...

 

[Jackie Leong]

you can just change your springs without replacing your absorbers, but have to make sure that the springs can match your absorbers so that they can complement each other and not konk out soon ma..

 

[sonictheory]

lol now i also dunno how...perhaps the stock absorber is too soft o wat...that day fetch 3 guy quite big size 1 at my back, go batu caves there...also not dare to drive so fast...coz the road condition sux ...u know la mrr2 around there...den kena 1 hole...can hear like my back rim kena the besi dunno where..swt...luckily not alwiz fetch many ppl 1 my car...

RSR ar, as i said loh, bumpy. when go on highway, in those uneven road, can ride like sampan, thats why now i kept on looking for absorber d, wanna find those stiffer 1...if u really wan comfort go for eibach lo...so far i never really heard any bad feedback yet, so its kinda worth investment, comfort yet gt the performance. Absorber got for our city, other brand, i mean the RSR brand absorber to match my RSR spring..lol~~

[Jackie Leong]

sonictheory,
your RS*R springs already ride like sampan, you are looking for stiffer absorbers? :confused_smile: You want your car to ride like a tank ar? :mouth_closed: The stiffer the suspension setup, the more uncomfortable the ride is.

Stylites-X,
nope, didn't lower :)

infront no chance to take. windscreen big big 4 chinese words " bu siang zhang da" = dun want grow up .. lol .. he made my day todae. ahahaha

 

[Jackie Leong]

sonictheory,

I guess there's nothing much you can do, unless going for softer absorbers but you'll need to find out if it'll match your springs. Either that or you'll have to change your springs. If you change to stiffer absorbers, it'll only drastically reduce your ride's comfort. It is expected that the lower you go, the stiffer the springs are as it has to keep your car from fluctuating from that current height.

the stiffer the suspension setup = the more uncomfortable it gets.

Stylites-x,
nice one, haha.. what a joke! =D
