all da sifu sifu's out ter..i need ur advice plz..i wana change my waja suspension system..can any1 recomend me any sport suspension...wat abt da gab adjustable suspension kits..anmy comments..10q

 

[Fluffy]

first of all..wats ur budget?if u want GAB..i dont know how it handles and feels..but its just a hi-lo adjustable..not soft hard.

 

[SkYwAlKeR]

yeah.... budget budget budget.... money matters...

 

[Fluffy]

if can..get the Japan made GAB.got soft hard.

 

[SHENzz]

fluffy have u try the japan GAB...how is it...is it good

 

[noeyedeer]

1st of all, its depends on your driving stile & budget oso....go for adj. abs. if u want the performance....or.....install any short stroke abs. + sport spring, if u are looking more on lowered looking & stability (a bit).....brand??? maybe improve propex short stroke abs......
2 cents...

 

[Fluffy]

i've been told that short stroke abs with lowered springs will kill u.like ur in a motor boat.

no,i havent tried..i wanna change to them though.

 

[noeyedeer]

so what is the best abs. 4 waja? mind to share...

 

[SkYwAlKeR]

no such thing as best suspension lorrr.... its up to u whether u want it more for performance or more for comfort....

if u want balance, u cant best of both worlds.... so, u going for track driving or normal city cruise without hard cornering....

 

[noeyedeer]

ok...let say...my normal driving style to go to office is at speed around 130-150km/h and 110-120km/h at corner....normally i'll haf 2 passengers in my car...so could you please suggest to me what type/brand of abs that suit for me...sometimes i'll travell with my family...so the abs cannot be too hard...
my budget is +-rm1k
tq..

 

[waja_fr3ak]

hmmm..my budget is about rm1.5k..im lookin for comfortable n sporty look..any recomendation...wat abt eibach coil springs..will it suit oem absorber ?

 

[Fluffy]

waja freak : the springs will already cost u about 1k.that's very expensive.1.5k?i dont think that would be enuf for a set of springs AND abs.

noe : u cant have a soft shox and want to do corners at 120.u need hard shox to get good corners.and btw..u shud not take corners at 120.more over when u have family in ur car.

 

[SkYwAlKeR]

so, reduce ur cornering speed to 100kmh... hahaha.... let ur children feel the G-forces when they are young... mayb next time can be alex yoong... lolz...
jz joking...

rm1.5K jz enough for u to get eibach springs only wor.... anyway, eibach is a good upgrade.... they can be paired with oem abs as well... if still not satisfied, save up and get better shocks lor....

 

[noeyedeer]

noe : u cant have a soft shox and want to do corners at 120.u need hard shox to get good corners.

please suggest to me which brand/type of shoc that can suit with me....but my budget is limited to +-rm1k only...
tq

 

[Fluffy]

1k only?go and buy GAB la.enjoy.

 

[noeyedeer]

thks fluffy....Anyway…I’m just doing the price survey for GAB…rm1300 including labour cost….still in my budget…but its only hi-low…izzit locally made?
I’ve got a negative respond (from my friend) about GAB adj. abs……it easy to leak…

 

[Fluffy]

yup.its locally assembled.hi-lo.not soft hard.wat u want is soft hard.coz hi-lo is just basically for looks.

dont take ur fren's word for it..there's a merchant here who's selling them..check the marketplace.talk to him

 

[streetking]

try hot bits loh

 

[Fluffy]

im gonna try hot bits springs..not sure about the absorbers.
any1 tried b4?

 

[pdguy]

or mayb get csutom made one ... i think nowday thre lots of suspension shops n they can advice n offer u fair bit of suspension types that suit ur taste n driving style ! wat i wana say is buying a suspension is one thing but the important thing is aftersale service coz if u dont like the setup / any problems u can easily get it fixed ! my experience is bought a aftermarket one (branded) used a while not satisfied wit the performance back to the shop ask me to change springs (pay againa) still not ok went to shop again they cant do anythin ask me to change another set wat the hell so i left n sell it off n change to cuztom made n hapy til now n become a regular cuztomer n sometimes no need to pay like repair or adjust suspension performance n other minor things !
