After market shock absorbers

[Cow]

Yu911: coading? my titans cost me 2800, which is the standard price for all full set Titans, as far as i know la. If you drive conti or european car then maybe slightly different... hope that helps :)

 

[Yu911]

I've check GAB, HotBit & WHL all is 2.8K but after discount is 2.5K

So, if 2.5K better go for HotBit? the name is better but the product I don know.

My work shop friend say better go for WHL, this product go for export too.

HotBit also made in Malaysia mah.. Malaysia Boleh!

Wooooow...........
So darn expensive............?

I have to go take a look at these.... My ride is getting more comfy to the new wheels, but its still hard......

Say, is RM2800 the best price?

Arch: I would say that 2800 is the standard price for fully adjustables such as HWL, GAB, TITAN, HotBits, etc.

If you're looking for HKS, Tein, and all that, then expect to pay at least double the amount or more for new set

Hi guys....the prices we r talking about....its just for the absorbers only right? What about the springs? All the brands mentioned above, do they also have the sport springs for our coupe?

 

[Yu911]

The price is for full set, 4 pcs. spring & 4 pcs. absorbers. And is hight adjustable.

I think 2K or below 2K can get if we order together.

Guys,

Bad news, i think i busted my front sets. The old stocks finally gave way today, then i went to get the allignments done. It goes down all the way, and doesnt come back up if i'm driving. No more spring'y movement for the fronts...... So sad..........

The gap between the body fender and the tire is so close, i hit any bump, i'm gonna scratch the fender........

So ne'how, i came to get the add for Mr. How's place, i'm gonna visit him tomorrow. Yu, i'll ask him how much if we do together. But either way, i might even jus do my fronts only, and leave the back stock.... I'll pm you my contact, if you wanna join me tomorrow (Friday), sms me la ya.......

Say, is that a good idea? I wonder........?

Dyeu... update pls...

 

[ArchDyeu]

Update...!!

I've went to Mr How's place, its a cool little place, with alot of suspensions and springs around, and a workshop half the shop, in the behind part. Its hard to find, if i must say so myself. I think i called Mr. How about 3 times before finally finding the spot.......

Anyhow, his son took my car for a drive, and when he came back, he took me in his Civic. Its was very nicely tuned, and even with medium hardness, a hit on the bump did not at all give out noise, or a hard knock recoil. It was pretty smooth. Then he took some conners, and man, he took it at high speed. I was suprised that the car jus didnt drifted, but it did skid a lill' and re-gripped.

The tuned suspensions was really comfortable, even though with medium hardness.

Well, he suggested that i not use adjustables, instead the usual one, which can be tuned the hardness. It was ok with me, cause i didnt think i'll be messing around with the height of the car as much, i'm more interested in a comfy. He said the usual ones are better for my usage, as i prefer the tires move and took the bumps, instead of the whole body.

I'm goin there on Monday (tomorrow) to get the suspensions. It'll take 2 days to complete, hence i'll be without "Coupe" till Wednesday. I'll report in the result next week (but Sim and Eric's gonna get it 1st cause i'm comin down to JB...!! haha)

Yu, the adjustables are at rm1500 for 2 peice, and the ones i'm getting, only with soft/hard adjustables are at rm1200.
