Hi all Sifu2
I now driving wira 1.5 sedan using waja front kyb gas absorber with wira SE spring and rear using kyb gas absorber with wira 1.6 spring. Now I get front 3 finger rear 2.5 finger. But when drive in highway feel like abit float, duno whether is stiff or float like not stable.
1. Is it rear absorber is too soft(last year change KYB gas but still soft when pressing rear by hand).
2. I want to lowered my car, if I get sport spring can I get lowered since I am 4g15 engine with big absorber and spring. What I know is Wira SE spring is shorter than wira 1.6/1.8 stock spring.
What is the best solution for my questions. Or choose adjustable, my pomen recommend me to use HWL hlsf 15 step adjustable. But adjustable is out of my budget. Thanks..
Hi there, may I share my experience with my own Wira 1.5 suspension setup that I did recently back in February?
Here's what I am using for my setup:
1. Front APM Coil Spring for Wira 1.6/1.8
2. Front KYB Gas Shock Absorbers for Wira 1.6/1.8
3. Rear APM Coil Spring for Wira 1.6
4. Rear KYB Gas Shock Absorbers (which I heard is same across all Wira)
5. Wira 1.6 rear anti roll bar
For my front, I'm at 5 finger and slightly more while rear is 4 finger gap. Yes, my car looks quite high now compared to my previous original suspension setup. The thing is, I do not feel that my car is floaty and not stable at all even at high speed. I even tested it out at 170kmh in a non highway road and it felt stable to me. Even during fast sudden cornering, my car goes through it with minimal body roll. Yes, it may be hard to believe if you saw my car's height but that is how it is. My suspension do not feel soft at all even if I press it by hand.
Comfort is not bad at all for my Wira. Damping is good and it felt like I'm driving a new car after I changed all of these suspension parts. To compare it with something new, I would say it is better than a third generation XP150 Toyota Vios.
One more thing is, I'm currently on 14 inch wheels with 185/60/14 tyres.
Hope this helps.
