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 = RM750Originally posted by thteh86@Mar 5 2005, 13:49
drex, with your amount your money spend on suspension, if i were u i would've gone for a set of adjustables...of course i would've saved more la.
But different ppl has different point of views, drex, time for VR4....hahahaha if not u go for 4G93T, then your car will look damn nice

Question bro.. SGTi absorber u installed on 1.5 Wira..so..abs mounting to change right..??Originally posted by drexchan@Mar 4 2005, 01:23
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.
just plug and play... i dun remember i change the mounting..SGTi absorber u installed on 1.5 Wira..so..abs mounting to change right..??
Sorry.. haven't got it done. Will definitely update here..So..How u find out on the new settings??...[SGTi ori abs + Wira SE springs (front only rite?)] better......handling, comfort, looks how many fingers front and rear?
the rear are basically the same.. but some said 1.6 rear spring is slightly bigger and thus harder. I am not sure. What i know is the WiSE rear spring is from 1.6.WiSE rear settings...any idea? my mechanic told that rear suspension not contribute as much as front suspension...is it true?
please, never cut your spring. I would have already do that if it is appropriate. About the combo you mentioned, i have no comment since i am still new in this.heavy duty springs on rear + current abs (monroe) and take 1.6 abs + 1.6 ori spring but cut 1 round.... BUT he recommend me to get KONI abs + APEXi springs for handling, comfort and looks...
currenyly still using the SGTi abs and springs. Will change to SGTi abd + SE spring. Well, it won't be much difference but i thin kit's goo to have it changed as i can sell the whole set SGTi spring later. BTW, any taker?BTW what is your rear suspension settings?

Another thing.. the Satria GTi front right absorbers is unique only to Satria GTi because of a special braket for mounting the Satria GTi anti-roll bar.
So I wonder how any other proton model can use the Satria GTi front absorbers because you wouldn't be able to use back your stock anti-roll bar.
That's why it's not easy for a Satria GTi to get aftermarket absorbers. Even the KYB RS cannot fit the GTi but can fit the Putra.
