    kadalasan shocks ang nasisira, bihirang bihira masira ang coil springs, depende na lang kung na expose ito sa extreme heat or naputulan na.

    replacement springs na nagamit ko HTK brand, mga 800 to 1000 pesos ang isa. sa shocks naman, KYB pa din, mahal siya pero good quality, kung medyo low budget for shocks, hanap ka Sprinter o kaya Optimum brand, tumatagal sa mga corolla, tapos ipon na lang para sa KYB kapag nasira na.

    everytime na may gagalawin ka sa suspension mo, kailangan mong magpa wheel alignment (Camber and Toe alignment).

    pinagawa ko yung tsikot ko (2000 model Mazda 323) sa Zee Carplus and had its rear raised. nahirapan at first yung mga mekaniko tanggalin yung assembly ng rear shocks but eventually natanggal nila ito. I decided not to replace them yet (since wala pang budget to replace the rear shocks) and have it repaired and they filled it with nitrogen (?) para tumigas yung shocks. total damage sa repair: P2700.
    medyo nanibago ako sa pagdrive after the repair but I adjusted the driver's seat position para mas comfortable ako sa pagdadrive

    tapos inibiyahe ko siya with 5 people inside (me included) going to Infanta, Quezon and encountering some uneven road surfaces. good thing na hindi na siya sumasayad yung kotse after the repair unlike before, sumasabit pa siya.
