Lowering Springs... what would you recommend?

[Dieseler]

Masmasama ang nangyari noon... we were driving along the NLEX when this Nissan LEC thinks he's in an F1 race... overtake ng overtake sa amin, pero naiipit siya dun sa mga slow moving vehicles. This guy probably thought na we wanted to race him... eh hindi naman. Ayun, yung huling hirit niya, he revved and zoomed and overtook us... eh we slowed down na... kasi right in front was a bridge!

Sana may camera akong dala; you can see the passengers actually HIT the ROOF of the car! hahahahahahah! Aray ko po!

meleagant8, yes replacing shocks on an older car is definitely a good thing.

You'll definitely feel the difference when you move up to newer shocks. You'll be surprised with how tighter the car will feel afterwards. Less wallowing and roll will definitely make for a more spirited drive!

sir Alfalfameister,

Thanks for the info
I've relly been reading good comments on the H&R's. even the superhonda online forum highly recommends the H&R's.

Neuspeed greens... before it costs 8t.. now it's like 10-11t :shock: ...with that price i'd rather get the Eibachs or the H&R's.

I'm also trying to consider 2nd hand Neuspeed greens (6t-7t)... but if they're no longer available then I guess I still have to save up a little more for the H&R or the Eibach springs


as for the dampers... that's exactly my plan! i'll be getting the Bilstein shocks with adjustable spring perch and have it installed at the same time with the springs para minsanan na lang gastos sa alignment

[meleagant8]

sir e46boi,

okei...got it!

pero siguro...after buying the shocks...tago ko muna then pag nakabili na ng springs saka ko na lang kabit...like ung gagawin ni pierre...at least nas tipid nga naman....

so okei na kaya ung h&r/kyb combo?

i heard na ung performance daw po ng shocks will still depend on how heavy/light your car is?kasi kahit ata maganda ung shocks mo basta magaan it will still have a "play" kahit aftermarket shocks na ung gagamitin mo....

[conrad]

what are the type of springs that give a "galit look"?


meaning the front is a little lower than the rear.

[DSM619]

all of them ( coils ) are made to be like that . the front will always have
more inches of drop , the reason ? I really dont know .

[meleagant8]

sir dsm

tlga po?kahit ung springs mo parehas na 1.5 and drop eh mas mababa pa rin sa harap?

[nikko m]

guys,
re: eibach springs,there are two distributors in makati,AER and AUTOLINE,you can call autoline at 8975782,price is 13T(fixed ata for all prokits,and with installation na ata,but not sure about this.),inquire na lang kayo.

and tell the owner that i refered you.

thanks.

[Supierreman]

13T? hmmm... mukhang mahal :? Sana magbigay discount si Alex :|

Nikko,
Thanks for the info. I'll try to call up Autoline na lang. pero with that price mag H&R na lang ako siguro pag di bumaba sa 10t yung Eibach :|

[DSM619]

meleagant8 , wala pa akong nakita na lowering spring set na pareho ang drop
height .

[1.8T]

eibach, h&r, bilstein pinaka ok sila.

sa struts koni's ok din, lalu nayung adjustable, you can adjust from firm to soft both fronts and backs you just have to mach them with springs kung anong drop gusto mo.

tama yung gagawin mong palit rin ng shocks/struts kase maaaring bumigay kaagad yung stock shocks mo.

[DSM619]

it took three yrs para bumigay ang stock shocks ko with lowering springs . hmmm
KYB AGX lang mahanap ko , any feedbacks on this dampers ?

[Supierreman]

buti pa kayo dyan dami pagpipilian. Dito sa pinas wala distributor ng Koni eh (meron ba corrcect me if i'm wrong). As for the KYB AGX... damn wala din dito yun. The KYB shocks available here are only the replacement ones and not the performance shocks :?

[meleagant8]

pierre

si sir neil sa autoindustriya naka KONI sa lancer nya....try to ask him....i think un nga lang umorder pa siya ata....almost 40t ata gastos nya dun....

kahit kina AutoXer or Zildjian wala?wow....ngayon ko lang nalaman..repalcement shocks lang ba tlga ng kyb ung nandito sa tin?naku naman........

sir dsm

magkano po kaya ung kyb agx dyan?san po ba loc nyo?i have a ninong kasi who is in CHicago and he will be coming home by early January...

[DSM619]

Sa San Diego ako Meleagant8 , kotse ko 99 Mirage , yung GSR diyan . Hirap
nga maghanap ng aftermarket parts nito kasi Eclipse ang may support sa performance.
Nahanap ko na medyo afford ko yung KYB AGX , actually meron pa isa pero kung yun
ang kukunin ko wala na akong pang gas , yung Tein HA coilovers pero alam naman
ninyo kung ano ang TEIN di ba ?

[meleagant8]

ako po di ko alam....hehe....

sir how much po kaya ung kyb agx?
afoordable po ba?

if ever affordable kasi papabili ako sa ninong ko....sana nga meron....

[DSM619]

depende kung anong application pero yung para sa akin $ 75 isa or set $ 280.

[1.8T]

depende kung anong application pero yung para sa akin $ 75 isa or set $ 280.

based from reviews sa US na nabasa ko AGX shocks talagang best bang for the buck! affordable na sya considering adjustable performance shock sya wher you can dial in your prefered ride setting.

Sayang wala AGX dito.

Tein meron full coil overs available sa Autoplus pero grabe sobra mahal! :shock: Nice brand pero way out of budget... presyong Engine swap na yun eh he he. :mrgreen:

[Supierreman]

Guess what I got? :wink:
