Hi all, should the shocks become soft or stiff when they turned bad? What I was told & learned is the car will become bouncy when we pushed down on a corner of the car in the case of a bad shock. But what if the car couldn't be pushed down? Is that a sign of a bad shock too?

Quick summary for the 10 SUV car line up (for those who don't understand Chinese): Model - Front suspension setup - material - relative cost Audi Q5 - Double-wish bone - forged alloy - 4000 (yuan) Porsche Macan - Double-wish bone - forged alloy - 4000 (yuan) Infiniti QX50 - Double-wish bone - forged alloy - 4000 (yuan) Merc GLK - Macpherson - forged alloy - 1200 (yuan) Audi Q3 - Macpherson - forged alloy - 1200 (yuan) Cadillac SRX - Macpherson - forged alloy - 1200 (yuan) Landrover Evoque - Macpherson - forged alloy - 1200 (yuan) BMW X3 - Macpherson - cast iron - 750 (yuan) BMW X1 - Macpherson - cast iron - 750 (yuan) Volvo XC60 - Macpherson - double stamped/welded - 450 (yuan) LR Discovery - Macpherson - double stamped/welded - 450 (yuan) Lexus NX - Macpherson - double stamped/welded - 450 (yuan) ---> same as Toyota RAV4 / Hyundai Tucson Lexus RX - Macpherson - double stamped/welded - 450 (yuan)

hey guys, any recommendations as to wear to get struts for my city? jb? sg? 2nd hand?

Damn funny.... but seriously.. he is game enough though he look abit awkward. http://www.in.com/videos/watchvideo-new-ja...lk-5205695.html

These are up for sale, REAR & FRONT Struts. Please PM me for more details or immediate purchase.

anyone tried Bilstein B4 struts? compared to stock how much difference will there be in the handling?

Only the front is externally adjustable for my car's application. Rear requires compression. The set is about 750 SGD. Is it worth it to buy this vs TEIN coilovers cost about $1500 SGD and are externally adjustable. I'm pairing Koni's with Eibach sportline (lower by 2")

Stabilus is the OEM manufacturer for most gas struts found in car bonnet and boots. http://www.stabilus.com/ There's an interactive search menu, pretty dandy!

Found this good link on suspension and steering while researching Mcpherson struts that are installed on my Optra5 Sport Hatchback: http://www.icarumba.com/cobrands/contentmo..._suspsteer1.asp Not sure if it has been posted before but just in case. Thanks.

Talking about the Sachs kit, how much are they?
