Ok po ba yung R1 na coilovers and lowering springs?

i've used R1 springs before.... lupit nyan bro.... sobrang stiff and tagtag ng ride....hehehehe.

pero ganda sa cornering... pero lahat naman ng dinadaanan ko di kailangan ng cornering eh, so because pag bababa ako ng oto eh parati akong hinihingal, i decided to put my car back on stock.

Good only if you are going to build a race car with them. Suspension will be stiff as a board.

So I guess tanabe DF210 is the next best choice for street application?

additional question po: hindi po ba magkakaproblema kung unahin ko ikabit ang lowering springs? naka stock 14s yung 97 vti ko and plano ko palitan ng 15s eventually. im leaning towards getting a tanabe nf210 or neuspeed green.

pagsabayin mo na lang, para isang trabaho lang yung alignment jobs. di doble bayad mo.

wala naman magiging problema. pero as what meyor said, kung magpapa align ka, isahan na lang. pero if you are in a budget and you cannot get the 15s now, hwag ka na pa align muna since magpapalit ka na rin ng mags and goma.

ok lang yan.

Dear Gents, masters,

Good day,

Take ko lng opportunity kasi may clarification lng ako regarding my SIR suspension. Nag upgarde po yun brother ko ng adjustable spring (di alam yun brand-sa tropa lng nabili-luma rin na yata) pero stock pa rin yta yun shock. But we were suprised kasi super duper tagtag ng ride. you can say na 30% yun rating compare sa original/stock feeling. Front 2 fingers spacing at 3 fingers sa likod.

1. Pwede ko pa bang ma iadjust yun adjustable lowering spring ng pataas/pababa para maging near sa stock feeling or wala n me maasahan na difference?

2. Balak ko sana ibalik sa stock spring yun 2 sa likod (putol na rin). Any comments sa mga nakagawa nito? Any suggestions to make it more better comfort.

3. Sabi nila di magandang idea yun putol sa stock spring kasi in the long run sisirain yun suspension system mo in the long run (6 mo.) Not sure though kung applicable yun sa stock SIR spring with putol?

3. Tanabe NF or DF springs at stock shocks ay oki ba? Any damage/breakdown sa stock shocks, cv joints, atbp. after 2 years?

4. Bilstein or H&R maganda po ba? or TEIN (mahal) ang the best?

Mga guys need your inputs to attain hassle free ride. Pang daily driving lng po at 100 kph lng max takbo ko. Not really for drag & curcuit racing!
