*Need Help with Hatchback*

[beintedos]

here's my problem.. just bought a 2nd hand hatch recently na sagad sa baba as in nkadrop talaga.. ano pde ko gawin para medyo mataas ko.. som1 suggested na lagyan ko daw ng rubber somthin' ung springs kaso diskumpyado ako dun.. balak ko sana bilhan na lng ng new springs pero yoko nman ng stock na height.. gus2 ko mdyo nkalowered pa din kaso d sagad.. pde ba na lowering springs na lng bilhin ko or kelangan ko din palitan shocks ko? abt lowering springs, what brand ok pero d naman masyado mahal? also ung springs na d masyado matagtag ung ride sana.. thanx in advance peeps..

[pnay_fickle_minded]

kung tight ang budget, bili ka na lang ng stock, then paputol mo na lang...dun sana sa mekaniko ko, as in super galing, mura lang, kaso sa angeles pa eh....

[kiro]

pls lang...do not cut your springs!!! 8O
believe me you'll end up spending more..masisira lang suspension mo sa cut-down springs.
for me, the best thing you can do is buy rubber lifters, mura lang yun, about P80-100 apiece... :wink:
then invest on decent lowering springs, like h&r and neuspeed.

[odell]

i agree with kiro.. matagtag sobra.. pramis :mrgreen:

been there done that :wink:

bili ka lnln springs.. :D

anu ba current springs mo?

[beintedos]

yup.. cut ung sa hatch ko eh.. super drop.. sayad talaga.. ok ba na rubber lifters muna hanggang d pko nkakabili ng decent lowering springs? btw, kelanagan ko din ba palitan shocks ko pg ngpalit nko ng lowering springs?? :?:

[ssaloon]

gas naman OEM shocks ng civic kaya kahit wag muna oks lang... regarding the drop prob, kabitan mo ng lifter, P70-P80 lang per lifter, mukang donut sya na rubber... increases ride height by either 0.5" or 1"... choice mo yan

hth

[beintedos]

ic.. thanx ssaloon :D

[yamyam]

may kilala ako na gumamit dati ng putol springs..natagtagan so nagpalit sya ng lowering springs..mas natagtagan sya so balik ulit sya sa putol springs.. :lol::lol::lol:


di ko na natanong sa kanya anong brand ng lowering spring ang ginamit nya 8)

[kiro]

i used to have cut springs sa ae92 ko.
after one month of use nasira yung bushings, tie rod, axle boot, etc...
more or less, i'll spend 9K to fix them.

a good set of lowering springs costs between 9-12K.

gets mo? :lol: :lol: :lol:

about the ride, mas matagtag talaga pag cut down.

i bought a set of h&r sa fusion r.
very satisfying. :wink:

[beintedos]

ei yamyam.. so ur sayin pdeng mas ok cut kysa lowering springs.. pero mukhang mgnneuspeed green na lng ako.. mdami pa ba variations neuspeed o isang klase lng un.. how about d drop.. gus2 ko mga 1 finger gap bet. the tire and fender.. anong drop sasabihin ko?? thanx.. sencia na mdyo "innocent" ako eh.. :roll:

[kiro]

22,

my friend also bought lowering springs for his lancer 2000.
mas natagtagan sya.
you know why?
he bought 2nd hand.
tas pinutulan pa kasi di satisfied sa drop.

ayun, sira suspension... :wink:

[odell]

kiro ganyan din sa akin. pinutulan.. hahaha :lol:

[ssaloon]

kaya pala! :mrgreen:

[logbook]

beintedos, ok ang neuspeed or h&r like kiro said...yun ang usually suggested for your ride e

kung neuspeed, diba yung green yung more tuned for racing purposes (mas mababa at matagtag?), tapos yung yellow yung hindi masyado mababa at matagtag? o baliktad? just making sure :mrgreen:

[beintedos]

bka mg neuspeed green na lng ako.. d ko nga lng alam kung ilang inches drop sasabihin ko.. gus2 ko kc abt 1 finger gap between tire and fender.. yoko ng pasok ung tire sa fender.. anong drop sasabihin ko??:?:

[ssaloon]

mga 1.5" drop ang neuspeed sa harap, 1.25" sa likod.

or is it 1.75, 1.5 front/rear respectively? :roll:

[odell]

basta bababa yan :mrgreen:

[pnay_fickle_minded]

depende sa nagpuputol... ewan ko lang ha... friend ko kasi nagpaputol lang, wala naman naging prob...

pero sabi ng mga experts, bili ka na lang high quality na lowering springs... :mrgreen:

[kevinp]

22,

i think a 1-1.5 drop would suit your specs pero depende rin sa laki ng tires mo.

[beintedos]

ah ok.. hmmm :roll:
