    Ano ba ang OEM na set up ng ride mo?

    Minsan kasi mixed talaga (e.g. Hyundai Getz).

    For me, I just use KYB gas all around. hehehe.

    generally, gas shocks are more durable than fluids.

    about 2 weeks ago nagpalit ako ng shocks sa harap.
    it costed be P1650/each. plus labor pa. hindi ko lang masabi
    ang labor cost kasi may iba pa akong pinaayos beside shocks.
    sa banawe ito.

    gas is a bit stiffer than the fluid type one.

    OT: ano yung isa? yung ano ba? hehehehehe. depende yun sa stimulation pre.... pag kulang malambot talaga....

    pero para di ot, mas stiffer ang gas, pero minimal lang, its really not that noticable.

    Kung sa sedan, minimal lang ang difference ng stiffness ng gas.

    Pero kung sa mga stiffly sprung vehicles na magaan ang likod (e.g. vans and pick ups), the difference is more apparent.

    so almost negligible lang kaya yung stiffness from fluid to gas?
    comfort ride kasi gusto ko eh.

    eto na lang, ano mas matagtag.........cruven refilled shocks or kyb gas?

    imho... cruven filled shocks are more matagtag. the only advantage here is that pwede mong bawasan ang pressure. ang kayaba gas hindi na....

    clarify ko lang
    iniisip ko kasi, does having stiffer shocks equate to harsher ride?
    di ba ang magiging result lang naman e mas bibilis ang pagdampen ng vibration of the springs kung stiffer ang shocks mo.
    at ang harshness ng ride e mas dependent talaga sa stiffness ng springs.

    parang lalabas na mas maganda ang stiffer shocks (gas type) kasi hindi ka na aalon alon kapag malambot ang shocks(fluid) kasi hindi agad madampen ang vibration.

    ok lang kaya kung malambot ang spring tapos matigas ang shock?

    Gas shocks offers more control on bends and curves for the price of comfort. Fluid type is more comfortable but your ride will exhibit a little more body roll on curves.
