::What is comfy other than Eibach?::

[civic EdGe]

Hi All Sifuz of suspension and lowered rides,

im driving a honda civic eg with 17 inch rims, and now i "think" that my suspension kong de..
coz rear is 2 fingers gap, but my front is around 5fingers.....
and my rear feels a lot stiffer than the front
thanks to that my ride now very special and looks like motorboat..
so, now the idea i currently have is:
1. change to ori absorbers + lowered springs
2. change to short stroke abs + lowered springs

Which option is better? and what abs or springs should i go for?
my priority is like.........
60%-lowered look and 40%-comfort...
pls recommend me something other than koni+eibach coz my wallet is not thick enough
for dat.........
Thanks for helping this newbie...

budgeted suspension modders might wanna look into RS suspension... tuned locally by experts.... customization wise, to those who did it, i havent heard any complaints... but for those who havent try it before, many does not dare to do it...

thats what they said lah... i got no money to try... they say eibach springs lowers ur car... but yet it matches well with ur oem absorbers, so it doesnt gets bumpy so much....

avoid buying those spring that especially made for 2.0.it wont suit ur car as
the spring is hard to accommodate the big engine.i don't think it's ez to look
for sport spring for ur car but u can try n ask around for it.

skywalker-
yup yup... thats wat they all mechs said........
"u want comfort, go for eibach.... german brand.. onli harder than ori spring little bit"... but after knowing the price, haihz....... RS springs? nvr heard b4..

stock abs should do it.

not RS springs lah... RS (rosli smart) suspension... jz bring ur standard suspension to the mechanic and he will modify ur suspension.. means cutting ur springs and refilling ur absorber with higher density oil... price is reasonable for budget modders, around rm350-rm400 for full set... fully customized for ur preference (he will interview u first of what settings u like)...

yes, many think it as a taboo for cutting ur standard springs... in fact, i'm also against it... but if ur chopped springs is compensated with re-oilled stiffer absorbers, den its ok... because the lost/ruined spring rate is compensated by a stiffer/modded absorber.... reliability issue, i'm doubtful as well since it involves drilling ur absorber... but so far, reviews from some users said after using for 2 years plus still doing fine, no leaks...

so, its ur choice la... i'm not 100% supporting RS suspension... but if ur standard absorbers are dead and ur budget limited, why not give it a try...

i know that modifying the stock suspension will be the cheapest solution available......but, one thing that im concerned is...... there are alot of RS workshops rite? eg ramli smart, rocky suspension, rajasingam spring-cut etc etc..(just for example purposes ONLY..:embarassed: ).... and i still havent heard of any reputable shop in penang that does this.... secondly, im yet to confirm that i wont be afraid to drive my car after the suspension "surgery" is done.....
anyway, thanks to all sifu sifu that willingly helped me...
cheers...
