bros, pede ko nang tanong yung type ng lowering spring nyo at yung shoxs nyo? an ba gamit nyo at pati na rin yung ride nyo para may idea ulit ako.. maraming salamat sa input!

If I'm not mistaken, yung tukod look is for rear-wheel drag race cars, and very fast ones at that. Aerodynamic efficiency in a straight line is the reason, I think. Plus the rear wheels that drive the car are usually bigger.

It's not advisable for street cars esp. front wheel drive cars.

H&R would be your best bet. Hindi naman yan taon-taon pinapalitan.

gamit ko intrax lowering springs with KYB gas shocks up front. OEM fluid pa sa likod pero lapit ko nang palitan to gas (when budget permits

)

mga bro,

ano po ba advantage ng paggamit ng gas shox sa lowering sprng against sa stock shox lang po? tahnks..

Fluid type shocks may not be able to handle the forces that come with lower springs - both when in motion and while standing still. It might work, but it won't last as long and the ride quality is not as good as gas-types.

lowering springs on fluid shocks tend to make the car bottom out when hitting speed bumps or potholes.

bro ssaloon, anong bottom out po un? di ba naka stock shocks ka sa ride mo? ok lang ba?

kasi malambot yung fluid type shocks, kaya pag daan sa hump, malakas ang body movement. kaya pag baba mo sa hump, bababa din yung body ng car which could lead to your tire hitting the inner lining of the fender or pag sayad ng auto. stock sa likod lang since di naman ako punuan magpasakay, gas sa harap kasi don yung heavier side of the car due to the engine.

i suggest you get an H&R sport 30mm drop lang para sa A101 mo na corolla pero check out kung ok pa ang shocks kasi sayang lang ma apektuhan ang handling.nag sasakay ako 4 hindi sumasayad.conservative drop lang medyo mas mababa ang likod kesa harap yan ang corolla nakatingala since progressive ang H&R ma cocorrect ang tayo tuwid at unat swabe.
