WiSE suspension upgrade

[drexchan]

Need some help here...

Who has successfully upgraded the absorber to any after market abs, but retaining the OEM spring?

I heard that the SEs (the first 10k batch) are using the Waja absorbers, matched with revised spring height. Can anyone confirm this?

Currently WiSE users face a problem where.. when after market 1.6/1.8 absorbers are used with the OEM springs. the front height will be too low and the rear height will be too high.

This is due to the revised spring height. The front spring is about an inch++ shorter than the normal 1.6/1.8 spring. And the rear ones seems longer.

So, when fitted with an after market abs, even short stroke, the front heigh will be still lower.. thus compressing the abs and this will lead to pre-mature failure of the abs.. The rear, in contrast, stretch the abs too much and lead to hardening abs.

If it's confirmed that the OEM abs on the SE is the same as Waja 1.6, then i think after market abs for Waja 1.6 should match the springs nicely.

Those who have done it.. which brand/model? Ride height? Handling? Please share..

Thanks!

p/s: i know changing the springs will solve the problem but have no intention to do that. Just want to replace the spoilt abs with a better after market abs. Thanks!

Unlike engine mods where power and performance speak a common language, suspension mods are much more subjective.

SOme like it hard, some like it soft, some like it bouncy, some like it juicy :p OPPPSSsss....

Anyway, I've come across owners who had to go through 3 to 4 sets of suspention systems before settling down on a suspension that really suited his "feel"

Not trying to sell you anything, but the best is to get a custom made suspension that caters to your driving style and feel. *HINT-HINT*

Cost a pretty penny but on a long term, well worth every cent paid.

Thanks! I know that..

However, I am not into heavy suspension mod. I just want to replace the leaking OEM abs that i have with a better after market set, that matches 100% perfect with the springs.

My questions haven't been answered.

drex-chan :D

i dunno where your info's from, but the WiraSE's suspension setting was tuned by Djan himself. So it's not mix and match guess-work. It had some development work done on it..

if you want, TiTAN makes OE replacement sets that goes with stock springs. servicable and tunable too! :)
