help in choosing replacement shocks litong lito na ??? :(

[spyghost]

as far as i can remember around 2 or 3 years na yata yung shocks niya (cant really remember exactly) pero i can guarantee na fluid type binili niya coz i was with him yung ginawa shocks niya. also sabi niya, dun pinakamura nakita niya na supply ng OEM ng galant. ok naman yung mga products nila, it has the seal of mitsu for the spare parts. then if on a budget yung bumibili, they offer the replacement. the good thing about the shop medyo hesitant sila to sell repalcement kung critical parts yung kailangan pero if you insist, they will still sell it to you. (or baka suki na dad ko dun)

also meron din dun mekaniko sa tabi ng shop if you want to install it kaagad. dami din nagpapagawa dun kaya medyo masikip. minsan nawalan pa kami space to park kasi ang dami talaga.

about the durability of the shocks, i really cant gauge kasi we just use it kung coding isa samin (lakas kasi sa gas). mga once or twice a week lang gamit pero ok pa naman yung shocks niya up to now. kung daily driver mo mitsu mo baka different result. pero OEM naman sell nila kaya i think it will last naman.

boss, baka maalala ninyo yung shop or kahit landmark, or kung pang ilang store sya... hehe para makapunta ako minsan.

sir spy ghost, your in luck. dumating dito mekaniko ng dad ko from pasay, atco yung name ng shop. directions --> if your coming from edsa, take the pasay flyover then straight lang until you reach the lrt. make a right turn, around 50 to 100 meters and your there na. its to your right... atco has genuine parts for mitsu. sabi din ni don don (mechanic) na if palit ng shocks baka kailangan din ng palitan yung rubber na nandun. i just have no idea kung anong rubber yun.

btw, don don fixed our accord pero they have people that do mitsu but if you have a mechanic na trusted... just buy the shocks there and let another shop take car of it.

thanks bossing, anong oem na fluid type ba ang maganda?

for the fluid type... i ask my cousin on what they use sa pizza nila, sabi yung kyb na gas kasi wala na daw sila makita na fluid... puro gas na daw replacement. im not sure though kung saan sila nagcanvas.

the ride daw is much stiffer than the OEM. wala daw pera kaya yun na lang muna until masira. im sure atco can give you what your looking for sa ride tsikot niyo. im sure they have OEM types pa dun and the prices naman are reasonable. if you have busted shocks na, id advise na wag niyo muna gamitin as a daily driver kasi mawawala naman yung integrity ng springs niyo... sayang double gastos pa.

[spyghost]

sige boss, pasuyo naman hehe... para makabili narin ako. actually pati coil springs palitin narin. most probably pati mga shock mounts

boss, what if naka lowering springs? gas type na ba agad dapat dun instead of fluid type? wala pa nagcoconfirm dito sa forum na yun ang best match eh. i want to know if best practice na lowering springs should always go with gas type shocks.....clarify lang po.....


thanks

lowering springs = higher spring rate = matigas

gas shocks = higher internal damping = matigas

matigas + matigas = mas bagay na ride.

hard springs and soft shocks are not the way to go.
