I'm using RG too and the ride is too hard for me too. But I think dun need to revalve. Just change the spring to 30 rear and use the existing 40 from the rear to the front.

Regards.

quick question, anybody has squeeky sounds when the spring is compressed?
is it due to the rubber sealing i added at the end of the coil?

I've used RG before...Not as bumpy as other performance absorbers.....anyway.....it was disappointing !!!! NO GOOD AT ALL. Prepare for a change after 8-12 months ride !!!
Cause....it will screw up by that time !!!

my car is crazy bouncy....i dont even know whether my chasis can stand the bouncing anymore...

the car bounces when im braking for traffic light and it looks like its going to "mati engine" like that...that kind of bouncing...which i think is crazy....

your car doesnt bounce at all boggysv? coz i feel mine is worse than a race horse...

maybe my springs aren't progressive enough..if i change my spring rate would it make things better? :blink:

what kinda settings did you choose for your ride NukeeZoid? What are the spring rates?

Standard for Gti is 5.5kg front and 3.8kg back. If yours is a 1.6 then the front should be less.

hey nukee bro...adjustables are generally hard. there's none that's soft and comfortable just like stock. more so if its monotube compared to twintube. you should have known this before u installed ma...nobody told you?....wait till you sit on my APM monotube....heheheh...and as opposed to wut danny said stock gti's spring rates are 5.5kg(F) and 3.8kg®, my current springs(came with the adjs) are 5kg(F) and 3kg® and heck its not softer, by the rates it should look like it should, instead its 50% stiffer....

wut i'm trying to stress here is the spring rates does not account much(it does to an extent) to the softness of your adjustables. so even if u change springs it would still be hard. i'm the walking example of lower spring rates than stock but stiffer ride???...its the construction of the absorber itself....you will need to revalve and stuffs. if you have the dough, do it trial and error. so if you have just got urself a monotube, good luck in getting used to the stiffness...well i did and i'm sure you can too...cornering is 'fantabulous'...hahahah...win some lose some lorr....

or last resort sell it off and get a twintube adjustable HWL for RM1600. you would be more than happy.

cheers bro :D
