    Bago member lang poa ko dito at tingin ko ito makakatulong sa akin. Please advise kasi plan ko palitan yung air suspension to upgraded one, yung tipong pwede lowered at hindi. Maganda kaya sa kotse yung ganun klase at kung maganda saan nakakabili at nga magkano ang cost?

    What is your purpose for the "adjustable ride height" suspension?

    What kind of adjustable are you looking at?

    If you're looking at coilovers with ride height adjustment, forget it. That has a dozen adjustments, but just three modes. Stiff, stiffer, stiffest.

    If you're looking at airbags, good luck... it's major surgery for the car, costs an arm, a leg and a kidney, and adds a lot of weight to the car. And there's no guarantee it will ride better.

    Thank you very much for your reply, I am just planning it to make it lowered but based from your reply. Malamang hindi na lang, baka adjustable lowering springs na lang ang gamitin ko.

    Thanks again...

    What you want are cosmetic lowering springs. You'll have to ask at the honda club ( http://www.hondaclub.com.ph/v4/home.php ) for advice on which springs are the softest. Some lowering springs are stiff, but some actually ride better than stock.

    And no, there is no such thing as "adjustable" lowering springs.

    Teka ka muna, ang dali mo namang matakot binibiro kalang ni Niky hindi ka naman nila ibabaon eh!... at isang kidney, kamay at paa lang naman ang tatanggalin sa iyo.

    Ano na nga pala ang kailangan mo? Suspension pala. Para sa anong sasakyan (Accord, Prelude,Civic, CRV, Pilot, Element, FCX clarity, Fit, Odyssey, Ridgeline, S2000) anong year, 4 doors o 2 doors, anong kulay at sinong driver?


    Yong ganito ba ang gusto mo?

    Three levels of stiffness:

    Stiff as a board
    Stiff as a rock
    Stiff as John Holmes & Peter North

    Hahaha... AutoXer was tuning the Speedlab Civic a few months ago, and I was along for the ride... we only found one setting that didn't make me want to throw up (somewhere around the middle setting), but then that one still rattled my brains out.

    Like I said, you'll have to ask at hcp or a foreign Honda club as to which lowering springs are relatively soft. For Mazdas, some guy made a guide on the forums as to the exact spring rate of all lowering springs on the market. If you're lucky, you'll find the same thing on the Honda boards. ;)
