Corolla G9 Suspension

[Toy_car]

Hi Bros, need your advice on what kind of suspension to change for my coming 5years G9.

My requirements are comfort yet hopefully dun have the feeling of car turn turtle when

doing a fast turning.

I think you are referring to shock absorbers?

 

The Monroe range of shocks should meet your needs.

 

Do take note thhat your G9's CG is high and body roll is very prominent. Pls do not attempt any fast corners on the G9, even with upgraded tyres.

Actually i just know that i need to change my suspension as i was told that my back wheels tyre has uneven wear due to weak suspension during i did my tyre rotation. But again if i were to change to a new set of original suspension, toyota suspension seem to be very weak as heard from the other bros here before. thats y i need the bros here to recomend me of what to change.

What is your mileage?

 

Any accident to the rear of your vehicle?

[Toy_car]

Mileage just pass 100K. so far no accident..touch wood.

[Vit4wd]

Should not need to change suspension then. Just change shocks will do.

Izzit? cause i went to my colleague workshop and the mechanic told me need to change suspension...think should be about $440 for the orginal as what he quoted me. anywhere to that u can recomend in order to have a "confirm" just the shocks that need to be change and what is the cost?

[Vit4wd]

You can try Yap Brothers or Leong Seng at Paya Ubi Ind Pk

Thanks Bro for your advice, so i think they should be able to solve my problm..by the way any idea how much will my damage be?

[Vit4wd]

In the region of S$200+ depending on model.

u mean u lower ur ride? but do u still get a comfort rde and how much it cost to replace the springs n absorbers?

[Toy_car]

what should i do to my 100K G9? i mean things that i should change in order to keep my ride.

[Vit4wd]

Are you those who approach corners at neck breaking speeds?

 

If not, just stick to stock replacements. Does not make sense to spend extra on a car with just 5 years' life span left. And you may change cars before its 10th yr too.

Hi... mine is altis, think shud be able to fit also hehe

it the price $200+ U mentioned per shocks or 4 shocks?

thx

Definately comfort is compromised a little if you are to compare with stock.But passengers have all given positive feedback and find it acceptable.
