hi all brother here,

my friend and i plan to change our spring to lower spring!
our aim was ultimate comfort like original

i hear Eibach prokit is the best choice is it???
but after i survey few accessories/performance shop
many of them claim that the GAB, tein will also give the comfort feel (but i don't believe)
and i search the tanabe website and found that the tanabe NF-210 (not GF-210) only increase 5% from original spring (and will give ultimate comfort for the ride)

that's my survey

so i need all taiko here to help me to select the spring i need to buy

and somore, i donno where to find the tanabe NF-210 and eibach prokit in JB
any taiko know where to find the tanabe NF-210 and eibach prokit in JB

thanks alot thanks
 
i feel sad for helping a badguy:regular_smile: ,but here goes.what type of car
ur driving badguy?local or japanese or continental?if ur looking for tanabe,try call
jc racing(amoil).ask for jacky or gio.if u want comfort,i find tein comfort too.
but it's all up to individual.different ppl got different taste.happy hunting.

everyone taste is different ...
as GT_AUTO said, what car u r driving ?
then try find member from zth for a test drive lo....
eibach is ok, but must match with absorber too ...
tanabe also ok, NF stand for Normal Feel, GF for Grip Feel, DF for Dress Feel ...
 
just lower the spring if you like the ori.

thanks my initial plan is used back the original shock and change spring

my car = myvi & vios
 
badguy,u drive myvi n vios?i think go for tein la.tried it both,very smooth n comfy.
somore the price is very reasonable compare to eibach.just my opinion.
 
so far for vios i still haven really heard someone really satisfied with their aftermarket spring nor ori spring. the fact of it's less comfort ride is because the due of using they type of spring which had small coil on each side.
 
best comfort?ori springs.when ur lowering ur car..u cant look for comfort.u shud be looking for how stiff it is and wats the rate and do u like the handling.all that but comfort.
 
Bro, if u have high burget, try to get Eibach. So far i haven't heard any myvi had any complain (including myself) on EIBACH because this spring is not very low and just nice for everything. For Tein, GAB and tanabe in MYVI, those spring are very low spring which u will fell very stiff and not very comfort. You pay for what u get bro. So happy hunting.

p/s:- My Myvi is on Eibach spring with 16' rim and satisfied with it.
 
GT auto,between springs n adjustables, which one u rekemen? my aim is 70% performance and 30% comfort.. i drive a satria neo..

n btw, a few of our members (snc.com) choose tein lowered spring.. but not sure la bout the performance...
 
for ur case leh,go for adjustable if u r more into handling rather then comfort.
adjustable can be quite comfort too if u know the spring rate that u want.
sport spring will give u a slight improve in handling but more towards comfort.
sport spring r usually 15-30% stiffer then ori's spring to reduced body roll n
nose dive when braking.
 
i think GT auto is re-fearing to those well known sport spring, exp- tein, RSR, TRD so so. local made spring tent to lose their stiffness after a year or so. for the years of playing with suspension on malaysia road, i went back for stiffer absorber (with stronger re-bounce rate and slighty stiffer bounce rate) match with original spring (cut-ed one round to lowered). it give me really good road contact/feel without sacrificing comfort.
 
GT auto: im thinking of getting the GAB adjustable with AVCS.. i assume it comes with spring right? can i choose the spring rates or the rate is already fixed??? if the comment is good, im thinking of getting it next week..
 
i m newbie on zerotohyndred. i driving wira aeroback with 4G91 manual. i still use original absorber and sport spring APM. i thinking change GAB adjustable AVCS. Got any rekemen for me? i live at JB, i need price, where can get cheap cheap?
 
Most aftermarket suspensions will sacrifice on the Comfort part... Being after market, they help to improve cars handling ride, but you may get a slight to more bumpy ride..
If comfort is the first criteria, i suggest stick to ori suspensions..
"you win some, you lose some.."
 
my suggestion, koni shocks and eibach springs....best all round comfort and handling, very expensive though....
now no money, so jst cut springs 1 round. also ok, but caution you'll nosedive during hard breaking, then your tail will fish out.....shock nya......hahahahah
 
ya~ koni and eibach will back you up for 2.2K++, how about this~, TKA customized absorber, open-able, all the parts was replaceable, 50%+ recycled component, use back your original spring. onli cost you 700 (for wira 1.5) front and rear, and with free installation during this promotion period.
 
badguy,u drive myvi n vios?i think go for tein la.tried it both,very smooth n comfy.
somore the price is very reasonable compare to eibach.just my opinion.

Hi bro, i m driving a Mit lancer cs3, any idea which will be a good lowering springs for comfort?
