Suspension & Spring

[biao]

Dear All Sifu,
i planning to change my existing Absorber due wear & tear worm out.
Ah Wah suggest me front use EVO, rear use Airtrek.
may i know if both front & rear also use EVO, can? EVO X suitable ?

And anyone know ACE SUSPENSION this brand at Seremban? is custom make absorber same like TITAN SUSPENSION.
The boss suggest me change adjustable suspension, as he say the spring rate and suspension can custom tune. can tune to comfort and stable, compare with original. is it true? because as i know adjustable suspension is no comfort.

any sifu can advise me your opinion.

thanks

If he can tune, yes can be done, but he needs different spring rate to do it.....

As i read many adjustable/coilover thread. Cant expect 100% comfort like stock.
And again i wish i join ZTH earlier...hahahaha. Anyway, lesson learn on coilover.
Aim for spring rate, like uncle VR mention. The rest, got many choices of shocks. Twintube, monotube, inverted...etc. You driving EVO ?

 

[kurt_629]

actually if you wanna save money, what you can actually do.

Find a decent adjustable, probably cost your rm1k?
either request for 8k 4k setup or 6k 4k set up.

I'm currently using 8k 4k, using DD adjustable.
stability and handling is there.
comfort, of course, not as good as stock but still ok..

ermm, plus myself is 4pax.

using 225/45/17
front 8k, rear 4k
around 1 finger for front, 2 for rear.
with stuff and spare tyre..

ok, no rubbing or whatsoever

if got chance, I actually looking for 6k 300mm tall

Airtrek, 8k/4k should be ok. Consider the weight.

actually its still too firm...

on my similar car (scooby version of airtrek)...im using 7k front, 5k rear...still i found out that front is still a little bit on hard side...i would say 6k,4k would be perfect for airtrek...and my car




and biao....what colour is your trek? i think i saw several turbo trek in seremban....

Yah 8k/4k setup seems too stiff at the front relative to the rear/too much difference between front & rear, hence should make it even more understeer.

Highway should be okay, but going over bumps and pot holed road will be bumpy

so going over bump speed if is low speed i think not a problem right.
