Suitable absorber for wira 1.5

[vr2turbo]

Your one is rally wira but it is good you satisfied what you get now(stable). Let see mine height front and rear I get around 3 finger. But my front absorber is not new condition, I buy from chop shop and take to service(inject).

I see some problems here. Absorber service is take apart, clean, change the oil, parts etc. Inject method is not actual service.....

Your Wira looks older than mine. Those first batch Wira carburetor 1.5 at year 1993 to 1994?

Yes, mine does look like rally car now, which is unbelievable that it still corners stably. This means that the new springs and absorbers are quite hard enough. Your current height is almost like my height before I change my suspension. Maybe your front absorber condition is no longer in a good shape and even after you service it, it still can't perform well.

Anyway, you can try to equip a rear anti roll bar like what I did to see if your stability improves or not.

This is my car's height before the suspension upgrade to 1.6/1.8 type. If you want to compare, this is how thick and big the 1.6/1.8 front springs are compared to the normal 1.3/1.5 spring. Definitely harder spring rate.

Yes, my model is 1995 carb, but I already convert to VDO injecton(before I duno MMC is more powerful than VDO, vdo kit cheap ma..so install without survey). The one VDO good things is very save petrol than carb, before using carb filled rm80 ron95 petrol(price rm2.2) can go for 350km+-, now vdo filled rm80 ron95 petrol(price rm2.2) can go for 450km+-. Last time I try 90% highway + 10% city penang to KL and return can hit 500km per tank
Beside, I already install rear anti roll bar take from wira 1.8 but look like very thin only.

That time I request to change to oil but not to inject gas, because I scare will very hard

The dude is complaining about floaty highway drives. I don't think the ARB will help much.

Since you are looking to only improve highway high speed running (minimize floating) then you need to have a look at those springs and absorbers again. I haven't really played much with stock suspension much as I went to coilovers pretty quickly after that but I do remember back then the Koni Yellow + Eibach prokit was a reaaaally good setup and the Koni had some slight height adjustment so can raise or lower a bit also. But Koni + Eibach is going to be very expensive......

tbh mean? I work in Penang, so many place no familiar

I see. Mine is a 1999 MMC injection. Good that you already have the rear anti roll bar installed.

Koni + eibach is very exp lo...really out budget if do like this

I thinks your rim 14inch, this caused the gab to fender is much more higher. I am planning to upgrade 16inch

I didnt fully understand what is floating, bodyroll, stiff. Can roughly explain to me?

Yup, his wheels overall smaller, therefore more gap.
Before you go to 16", remember tyres choices are less, and they are more expensive compared to your 15"

16"(205/45/16) was match with wira so far I see...Before I thinking want to mod my 4g15 vdo also. After survey for vdo things(pomen also say 4g15 no tahan, many people say vdo ecu self learning), I close this decision and prefer straight go for 4g92/93 better, but it costly. Or you have solution for vdo.

From the looks of your photo, I think yours is also 14 inch? Actually, originally Wira 1.6 and 1.8 are also using 14 inch wheels.

Unless I go for thicker sidewall like 185/65/14 or 185/70/14 but that will affect my cornering performance due to higher sidewall. Comfort might improve though?

straight to 92/93 or mivec or 93t then your itchiness will start.

Yup

Last time survey 4g92 sohc complete around 2k without gearbox, with gearbox around 3k. My pomen charge me labour 1k-2k for take out engine from seller car and put in my car, also did some minor service and replacement. Need 5k to settle it. He told me 4g15 stroker waja internal, port n polish, highcam also need standby 3k, better go for 4g92 sohc. Since costly, I also things interior and exterior havnt kutip, then slowly kutip 1st. Engine is last

Do like bro. sweelt, go 15" use 195/55R15, you get performance and comfort.....lol

Need to follow experience master for not go to wrong path. 195/55/15 or 195/50/15 is better, what do your thinks.

both also OK. I like the look full effect, hahaha. I opt for 195/55.
