Back a few years I know a few members in detailing group, so when I was back in wife's hometown in Taiping I drove up to Penang to meet them. Had TT until midnight then drove back.......
If you can get one or two to meet up for a start is also good.....

If you're under a tight budget can consider HWL adjustable with hi/lo/soft/hard... 15 steps version less than RM1.5k.

I just remembered another brand that I remember using that was slightly better than Monroe. Sachs. This brand was quite good in terms of stiffness and car control. Maybe you'll have better luck finding this brand.

That's quite cheap, brand new set?

Yup brand new since now competition is quite high for shocks, you can get these kind of prices for entry level Hi/lo/Soft/Hard wth 12-16 steps adjustable

Ok sure....Which one will u recommend between the HWL h/l/s/h, and the sachs? cause u always recommend to get coilovers with h/l/s/h..so i just wanna make sure that..

HWL quite common, many places should have.

Sachs is replacement absorber like Monroe reflex, Coil overs are total replacement. Which is better depends on your priorities whether you want lowering, harder suspension, comfort and so on....

Spare part shops normally won't carry those, only OEM replacement. Those either in performance shops, online forums, facebook, mudah, you name it.

Would say, you can go for HWL, they are pretty decent for the price you pay but of course if you have the budget you can opt for better ones like FTuned.

If the HWL is within your budget, make sure you buy it from a person who'll help you install properly. Preload the spring tension, adjust the bodyshift height (if the HWL has that) and replace the absorber mountings. The dampening rates can be adjusted yourself after everything is done.

A poorly setup coilover is kinda pointless too. If you don't have an installer who can do all that properly, you're better off with the sachs / monroe. Cuz preloading and bodyshift isn't something you can do on your own unless you have the time and the tools.

Ok, will try to look for HWL and for proper installer...

The Monroe or Sachs are OEM replacement means you cannot adjust the height, damping etc.

HWL, H/L/S/H, you can adjust many things from height, damping rate, spring rate etc., but again that is why ask for your priorities, do you need also those adjustment. IF yes, go ahead.....

hello there TS, i gotta admit that i'm on a same quest as you. am driving a satria se with gab hi-lo set on it. been on a mission looking into the forum for good pointers, Izso and vr2turbo give really good tips!

since my shocks are not longer dampening well, im planning to send them in for service at the same time check out for next upgrade. i read many suggesting HWL, BCRacing PRS etc, any reviews on FTuned? i recently got in touch with them asking about their coil-over kits and got recommended this:

1. hilosofthard set priced ~RM3000
2. hilo set priced ~RM2500
(all in price with installation, tuning and 2 years warranty)
3. service current shocks x4 priced ~RM1000

after reading and riding on hilo set, im hoping hard on the hilosofthard setup!
again, any opinions on Ftuned for a 2-3k budget setup?

 

[vr2turbo]

If thinking of changing to HLSH then don't service present set dy, since they are only HL set. Save and go HLSH.....
