[QUOTE="g4i8y0t, post: 1064036301, member: 98220"] I have something to share here. Today I went to a kampung shop in the middle of a paddy field in Parit Buntar to modify my OEM Tokico absorber. What they did is take out the absorber, drilled a hole to drain the oil inside and replaced it with higher viscosity oil. I'm not sure what type of oil but I did see some barrel with SAE90 printed on them. Then they pumped in the gas and welded the hole, that's it. I was a bit skeptical at first and was expecting a harsher ride. To my surprise, it's not like that at all. The ride is firm and very stable. Sharp corners can be attacked with greater speeds than before. Minor bumps are all soaked up well. Larger bumps/holes could be felt a bit more. It made me thinking that this is the damping rate that my car should have in the very first place. I don't know how long the absorbers will last, but the guy said it should last at least a year. The price I paid in total was RM150 for all 4 absorbers, including 4 new bump stops. :biggrin: Car: Civic SO4 Engine: SOHC 1.6 Manual Brand and model: Modified Tokico OEM absorber with original spring Durability: I only installed them today Roads used on: Highway (50%), kampung roads (30%), town (20%) Comfort: 6.5/10 Handling: 6/10 :driver: [/QUOTE]
