ser sauman, advisable po ba na gas type sa rear then fluid sa front? parang gusto ko kayong gayahin.. :D

sa palagay ko mas OK ang ganito, Gas type sa rear para di masyadong "bottom out" pag may sakay, pansin ko kasi dati kahit pa buo pa yung fluid type na shocks sa likod masyadong lundo sa likod pag may sakay ngayon medyo lumalaban ito. Sa front naman mas malambot ang talbog ngayon kahit pa naka 45 series tires pa ito

OK namang yung fluid (front) then gas (rear) combination. Like what Sauman said, mas maganda ang tindig lalu na puno (hindi lundo).

Sa case ko naman, napilitan akong mag gas sa rear kasi walang available na fluid type (for rear Sentra) nung bumili ako. Buti na lang it turned out OK.

Kung kumakalampag na kotse mo, maaaring nandyan pa din kalampag even after changing shocks. BAka kailangan mo ding magpalit ng iba pang mga suspension parts para mabawasan kalampag. Pero hindi pa din sigurado na maibabalik yung 'brand-new' ride quality....unless palitan mo majority of the suspension parts.

yung ride ko ngayon naka mix din, gas sa likod, fluid sa harap. Nauna kasi nasira yung shocks ko sa likod kaya napalitan ko na ng KYB. Sa harap naman I'm using original Honda shocks. Matalbog nga yung likod compared sa harap, lalo na sa humps and bumps. Pero ayos na din, I'm planning to buy Bilstein shocks pag naka ipon ako, then palowered ko na din using H&R springs.

Sa pickup trucks lang ginagawa yung pinaghahalo ang shock types. Gas for the IFS and liquids for the leafs.

Mixing them up in a sedan will result into more body rolls when turning. Less stable at high speeds. Uneven ride balance.

I just bought gas shocks for the rear suspension. Checked out the old shocks and found them to have lost all the springing power. I don't really feel anything different with my ride even if the combination of KYB Gas Shocks rear and OEM front?

My question is, how soon should I change the shocks up front?
My other question is, anyone knows where to buy KYB AGX? All the shops I checked out doesn't know what it is.

If you can still manage to drive it with less difference, hold on to it 'til one of your passengers complain. There's not much difference on ride comfort for city driven vehicles.

i replaced all my shocks with gas shocks, and makalampag siya. i only noticed pag 3 yung tao sa likod, nawawala yung mga kalampag.... :P

maganda ang gas shocks kung madalas na may kargada ang tsikot mo. yung sa ride ko, fluid sa harap at gas sa likod.

Just noticed bumaba pala likod ng sasakyan ko, it used to be mataas could it be because of not replacing the old shocks in front? or does it have anything to do with the installation?

Mas gusto ko sana yung look ng dati, slightly higher sa likod lower sa harap.

[Ungas]

Normal po sa lahat ng sasakyan na bumaba after replacing parts. Your suspension has reached its settled height. What you can do is, place coil spacers to achieve the previous height.
