    bendix brand, cruven okay magpakabit. Have it checked by them also, malamang sira na ang shocks bro. KYB is an affordable brand of shock absorbers.

    I forgot to add, when replacing shock absorbers, replace both left and right sides. Para pantay. Kasi if you replace only one side, sisirain lang din ang isang luma. Hope this helps . .

    Hay naku. Kids these days.

    Best to treat cars like motorcycles: You work your way up the power/displacement table as you gain experience. Your bro has to learn how to control the power effectively first before he can play with more of it, and power is nothing without control.

    +1 ako sa suggestions sa brakes and suspension. Too many "kids" look at power and engine mods when in local traffic conditions you'll hardly get to use those. The brakes and suspension, you use everyday but are underappreciated.

    I agree with many of the posters in this thread. Why not look at the other essential components of the car first? i.e. the brakes, suspension, transmission, and steering.

    The level of satisfaction with 4a-ge's, and other used performance engines, vary depending on the condition of the block. Sure it's fast and fun - if it is working perfectly.

    My sister has a widebody corolla with a silvertop. It's hard to drive (definitely not for a beginner), vulnerable to water (just recently they drove over a puddle at a relatively high speed - ngayon "pumupugak pugak" nanaman, rough pa ang idle, at namamatayan lagi), requires fully synthetic oil, and needs to be checked and tuned on a regular basis.

    otherwise ang ganda nung tunog pag nasa 7,000 rpm na.

    Also, to take full advantage of the engine, other components need to be replaced as well - the axle, headers, exhaust pipe, intake filter, etc etc.

    besides, in the middle of a jam, even the fastest car only moves at a snail's pace.
