guys,
you can't use the gti springs on a wira as they were made for a car (the gti) that basically has most of its weight up front. of course the front would look higher.
in fact the gti shocks are not such a good idea too as the rears (again) are made for a hatchback and not a sedan.
best suggestion would be to use the front gti shocks & springs, and the rear 1.6 shocks and springs.

yes, that's a hard lesson that cost a bomb.

dude ,
1.6 & 1.8 share the same absorber & springs , i donno about gti cause its so called tune by lotus ? :lol:

SGTi shock has a different design. The ARB is connected to the shocks, unlike the normal 1.8, which is connected to the arms.

That's the different. I would like to appologize for the mistake i made above.. i mistakenly read "1.8" as "SGTi" subconciously.. haha!!

Yes, 1.6 and 1.8 shocks and springs are the same.

But Wira SE front shocks is from SGTi, spring is special.. really SE.

SE owners tried using 1.6 lowered spring but ended up got a higher ride.

RM450 for used SGTi shocks and springs, RM150 for front 4-point URD struct bar, RM150 for rear antiroll bar... lump sum RM200 for the restoration and installation = RM750

tell me where to get an adjustable set for just RM750?

VR4? haha!! The age old engine? I would rather change my car... save all the hussles..

4G93T? I am that kind of conservative person that believe that C97 chassis is not fot TC/SC engine.. At the most i will get the 4G93 dohc.

Thanks for the suggestion..

by the way... again, if you can find me an adjustable set for RM750, your dinner is on me, you choose the place.
