I read through some postings that HWL are bouncy & hard like
cars with cut springs... what bout your ride with HWL on it,
pocketrocket?

HWL doesn't come with standard settings if you know what I mean. If you guys suffer bad quality or it spoils after just a few months, replace it as you still have the warranty card with you. Some of the reasons why your shocks spoil so fast is because of the stock.

Do you guys have any idea how long does Kakimotor keep their HWL stock? And their price may be cheap, but they never change the spring rate of the springs for you even if you requested so. Because their stock comes only with a certain setting. 1.6k is dirt cheap for a set of adjustable suspension.

I'm using a set of HWL too, tuned by YSKhong motorsports, currently...I'm pretty happy with my own settings and also the height which also involves the hardness of the springs. A set of good linear springs had covered my problems as before this I had progressive springs.

Cars with cutted springs are bouncy. Hard springs are bumpy....one must have a certain tolerance with the spring rate. Too hard can be hazardous.

I was actually considering HWL abs too, the full set. But I wasn't entirely sure it's it a good buy or not. haha

good fren of mine.. my perdana, kenari, kerisa and putra also used their custom made absorber. most of them more than 1 year, plan to service them soon. if u r a korner sifu, can try add a pair of canistor to the absorber. will last.......

its good.. the design is twin tubes.. decent performance.. still maintain comfort level..

invert monotubes coilovers r much harsher..

from what i've know,monotube is the best.inverted r not suitable for street.emit sound after a few month of usage.more suitable for motorsport.
