Stock Spring with Koni?

[Kazuo]

Will I be able to retain current ride height?

 

currently on stock shocks

It will be slightly lower only but still consider quite high.... you ask ask robo for it as his using the setup similar to what you posted last time.

[Robo]

eh... yes u will retain your current height. looks a bit lowered thou

 

which is no good... i suggest u change the springs too.

[Kazuo]

Why no good?

[Robo]

firstly it is too high... meaning your stability is being compromised as your car's cg is high.

 

secondly i find it fugly looking.. abit the defeats the purpose of changing the shocks..

 

my advise is spend abit more get a lowered spring.

[Kyojin]

sorry bro, i don't agree with two points.

 

CG - even at stock height, it's not that high to be "unstable", that's just in the mind. unless of course you drive like a maniac, then you shouldn't even be driving.

 

Changing shocks - if you old shocks are gone, you need new ones. and doesn't mean they have to be cosmetic.

[Robo]

EH... my personal opinion la...

 

well stock ht are probably comfortable...

I agree with Kyo. My first set of suspensions and springs were lowering springs and they drastically lowered my car's CG(1 fingers from wheel to arch on rear). This didnt make the car any more stable than that of the tanabe's which I changed to after that which wasnt that low(5 fingers from wheel to arch on rear). In fact the tanabe's were more stable and it had better road holding as the lowered ones were only good for drifting the rear of the car....

Bro, any lobang for shock absorbers and springs. Cos my present ride is too bumpy and have the springing effect as well. I guess the springs are degraded already.

[Starletgt]

What is your current suspension setup?

Maybe we could meetup and take a look.

I dont know leh. I just know that the rear suspension is of Koni. But the ride is really uncomfortable. When there's too much of springing effect, does that mean that the spring's life is gone?

 

Was thinking of replacing the springs and absorbers, as well as the window seal. But I know it will cost me a bomb. So if I could get it from MY, I think it will be cheaper.

U can find original suspension and springs in Singapore. Won't cost a diff in getting from Singapore or Malaysia.
