    sabi ng near-by mekanik namin, much better daw kung magpalit na lng ako ng shocks? (mahal un di bah?, kahit japan brand) lalo na kung ung branded na Shocks (anu ba ulet un?) tpos labor pa, eh balak ko rin magpalower, bbile pa ako ng lowering spring? OMG,

    explanation kc sa akin ng Zee, i-cconvert nila sa Open-type ung shocks, tpos fill ng ajkshf di ko lam tawg eh, pero xure daw un na tanggal kalampag tyka maaus ang suspension, I really dont know what to decide, help me naman on this....

    pero kau decide? Mahal na palit bago, or Mura na magagawan ng paraan?

    if you have the budget to buy brand new shocks and springs, syempre mas maganda.

    if you don't have or would like to save the money, cruven/zee can have it repaired/reconditioned.

    what they do for shocks is they fill it up with nitrogen so you can adjust the stiffness of your shocks. good if you are in lowering springs. they also repair the bushings and inject it with poly-ekek.

    they also do lowerings wherein binababa yung baso (shock mounts). near stock ang ride. i have not tried it though dahil minsan full load ang oto, natatakot ako na baha biglang bumigay habang puno. but there are guys in mymitsuph who have done that with satisfactory results.

    my experience with converted shocks? excellent. i am on my third year now. pag gusto ko ng soft ride, bawag nitro (since stock height ngayon yung oto ko). pero nung naka lowered, pinadadagdagan ko lang ng pressure.

    i had also my bushings repaired via that substance injection. almost two years na.

    the cost is around 50% lower compared to buying new parts. may warranty pa sila ng one year. afaik, pag brand new parts, medyo mas mababa ang warranty period or nothing at all.

    btw, the shock's brand is KYB. costs around 1800-2200 per piece sa rear. around 1400-1600 sa rear.

    *1D4LV,

    so parang satisfied ka sa work nila?
    yep, im on a tight tight budget, kc magpapalit pa ako ng Mags and ganito rin ung issue
    OT: (share ko lng) di ko rin alam if bble kami ng bnew na mags + bnew tires or paRepair ung tires, via ProMaster, p.tuazon, QC, so problem tlga, haha

    problem is, kinokontra tlga ng uncle ko ung mga balak ko, na:
    1st: pagawa ko na lng sa Zee or Kruven ung suspension ko, (reason nya is, 11 Years na ung car, dapat palitan na, pero nung nsa Kruven ako, wala naman clang cnabing critical na dapat na agad, ipa-repair yun,) tyka balak ko rin i-palowered, (putol ng isang ikot daw sa coil, sabi ng mekanic ng tga Zee..

    2nd: ung sa OT: Mags repair, repaint, re-align + bnew tires

    Pero all-in-all quality work and no hesitations ka ba nung pinagawa mo ung suspension mo? ung lahat pinakonvert mo?

    2nd: ung sa OT: Mags repair, repaint, re-align + bnew tires

    Pero all-in-all quality work and no hesitations ka ba nung pinagawa mo ung suspension mo? ung lahat pinakonvert mo?- yes, because i was on tight budget too, and the costs are lower.

    bro, mukhang may budget ka naman.
    why not get coil-overs since shocks and springs na sya in one. matataasan mo pa and mababababaan mo pa ang height nung car mo depende sa preference mo. ganda pa ng ride.

    10k? di aabot. it normally costs more than 25k.
    kung 10k lang din ang budget mo for new shocks and new lowering springs, di rin aabot. a shock normally costs around 2,000 each for the fronts and around 1,500 sa rear. so dun pa lang 7,000.00 ka na.
    ang lowering springs kung brand new, H&R costs around 14,000.00. so all in all, 21,000.00 kailangan mo.

    wala pa dyan yung brake pads mo, tie-rods and bushings. imho, kailangan mo ng at least 40k sa lahat kung OEM na.

    which brings me back to the Cruven/Zee method.

    sa shock repair, its around 800 pesos each = 2,400.00
    sa tie-rods and bushings repair = 3,000.00
    labor for lowering the shock mounts 3,000.00

    pasok yung 10k budget mo....
