How to increase ride height?

[erick_214]

[SIZE=4]Hi Guyz...

I bought a 2nd hand car na lowered...Ngayon ang tanong ko eh...paano ko ba papataasin ng konti yung ride height niya? Yung Gulong nga pala ay 205/40/17. Gusto ko lang na tumaas ng 1inch yung harap at 1.5 inch yung likod. May nabibili bang goma o anuman na pwedeng ilagay sa suspension or coil spring para tumaas ng konti yung ride height niya?

TIA...[/SIZE]

The cheapest solution would be "rubber donuts" or "lifters". They come in different thickness so you can adjust the height to your preference.

Downside, these require removal of the shock/springs which will affect the car's wheel alignment so you'll need to visit a wheel alignment shop after this.

Thanks for the reply Ghosthunter, tanong ko na rin kung saan ba may magaling na shop na gumagawa ng ganito? Tsaka saan ba nakakabili ng donut na sinasabi mo? Applicable ba ito sa harap at likod? Pwede ba ito lagyan sa taas at ibaba ng coil spring tsaka up to what maximum thickness yung safe?

Most (if not all) suspension shops can install them for you. It's cheap and effective. It's applicable for both front and rear.

Normally it can be placed at either end of the coil spring. Personally I feel ONE donut PER end of a spring is safe.

Try going to Wheelers Suspension Haus. Its along N. Roxas Street near Banawe (you can googlemap the location). They can also help you source the donut/lifter.

[SIZE=4]eLoW again Guyz...

tanong ko lang ulet about tire pressure. Current pressure is 34/36 F/R for a 205/40/17. Ngayon feeling ko medyo malambot kasi kanina nalubak na naman ako. Nakalagay sa tire side wall na max pressure is 50psi so ok lang kaya kung gawin kong 38/40 psi for F/R tires? Or what about 40/42 F/R..?

Tsaka tanong ko na rin na kung safe pa ba gamitin yung mags ko sa likod kasi nalubak ako unng isang araw so medyo napingas yung labi niya...Ano sa tingin nyo safe pa ba gamitin yung mags?

Thanks again guyz...

If the rim is not cracked or the chip is not deep, then it's fine. The bead of the tire is well inside the lip.

40 psi is fine. It will feel very stiff, depending on your tires, but it's fine. With such wide tires, though, you might find the steering twitching and following ruts much more at those pressures.

Hi Niky, thanks for your reply. What do you mean by fine? Is it just at the middle or is it a little bit high or low?
