Lowered Spring

[Kyojin]

damping and spring height are two different things.

 

if it's rubbing with full load, your springs are too short (or you are carrying too much weight).

 

dampers control the rate of damping (aka rate of spring return) so that your car does not "bounce"

[Satinepink]

Yeah. if you car 'bounces', its time for new dampers...

[Pandaeyes]

I just changed my rear shock absorbers and regardless of whetehr I tuned to softest or hardest, always bounced up and down.

cool... thanks bro.

where can i get aftermarket performance springs for my ep70?

[Kyojin]

try vogtland springs or apex. if they say they "don't have" fitment for EP70, say EP80. same size.

[Kyojin]

time to change again...

 

seriously, if you just changed, go back to the shop and demand a replacement.

 

by the way, bounce means when the car is stopped, press down hard on the rear boot and release quickly. it should only bounce once. there is definitely movement.

racetech aka fong kim

 

The one in Ubi?

 

Went just know, don't have.

[Kyojin]

which one you went to?

 

the last time i spoke to the boss, he said have.

[Whyeme]

bro someone selling a complete set of uncut vogtland springs at around $200. used for abt a week. worth it u tink?

[Kyojin]

they quoted me S$350 the last time (labour extra)

 

if it's really a week old and cash&carry, i say it's a good deal. but that depends on the labour costs as well... coz seller may want you to fork out for swap or labour. do you maths.

[Kazuo]

The one in Ubi.

 

$350?!?!

[Robo]

bo hua... to ex liao..

[Kazuo]

Emailed them le... $370 in total inclusive installation and alignment. Abit on the high side but at least no need to keep waiting.

[Robo]

with installation n alignment sounds ok liao...

 

at least not so bad...

[Kyojin]

agree, $370 with install and alignment is nice price.

Bro,

 

the right combination for starlet R14 should be 60 and not 65.
