mababa suspension..

[edgar75]

OK ba gamitin yung rubber na nilalagay sa coil spring para tumaas ang suspension ng auto.. May nakapagsabi sakin na meron daw nilalagay sa gitna ng coil spring para tumaas ang auto kesa bumili ng bagong shock absorber.. need help. thanks.

These rubber "donuts" installed at the end of the springs are called "lifters".

Ok naman gamitin yung lifters but they will only lift the suspension. The suspension travel will still be the same amount before you had the lifters installed.

So if your suspension tends to bottom out, it will still bottom out with lifters installed.

The alternative is the rubber inserts but those can suddenly fall out.

gnun ba.. thanks sa advice..

Those lifters will not help if your shocks are bottoming out. Natatandaan ko dati may nag rerepair ng shocks dyan sa may cubao sa bandang murphy na try ko din yun nung araw ok naman sya tumatagal din.

Need advise.. nka lowered po un front ng car ko..(as I bought it) gusto ko sana di masyado matagtag pero retain yun lowered set-up. Thanks..

i think your front springs are "putol".
two things you can do:

- replace your front springs with stock springs. yun nga lang mawawala ang lowered look mo. but then you can have your shock seats lowered.
- replace your front springs with aftermarket lowering springs. sama mo na din yung likod since set of 4 ito.

adding a lifter will not help you on the tagtag issue.

[Chawap]

but what if I replace the shock absorber instead? Are there any shocks for this kind of set-up?

even if you replace the shocks with a more stiffer shock, but you are still using a putol spring, its useless.

but on reality, if you would use a lowering spring and pair it with a gas shock, the ride would be good. but it would still depend on the brand of the lowering spring used.

Can you pls give advise on what brand should I consider? Thanks po..

may kakilala ako n nagpalit to aftermarket springs. H & R sport. may kamahalan nga lang (15k) pero ok ang ride comfort. For Shocks, kung may budget, mag Bilstein ka na. Uber ok ang combi ng 2ng to.

Yup, ok H&R. Mura na rin sya compared sa OEM springs ng casa (P30k the last time I checked - Suzuki). Pede na rin KYB gas shocks i-pares dito if you're on a budget.

*Chawap: It'll depend, greatly, on what your specific car is.

What "works" will vary from car to car... It will vary wildly.

I run H&R springs with Tokico adjustables, and the drop was way too low ...even with stock shocks, the drop was way over 2", and I had to use 1.5" lifters in front and 2" lifters in the rear to get the proper three to four finger width clearance for my wheels... and no matter how I set the Tokicos, the ride is just plain harsh over most bumps. On some cars, the H&R will be good, but on my particular car: the Lynx RS, it's a bit much.

Other Lynx owners keep asking me how I got the "perfect" stance... the answer? Tons of experimentation with lifters... :hysterical:

On Sentras, there's a cheap way to lower the front of your B14. Buy replacement shocks for the B13. The B13 has less suspension travel, so the spring perch on the B13 shocks is lower... giving you a 0.5 - 1" drop in front, even with the stock B14 springs... possibly more if you switch to B13 springs.

There are other tricks possible, but it would help if we knew what car you are driving.

H&R talaga ang pinaka the best, imho. ok din ang tanabe.
on niky's note: yes, i am using a B13 shock sa B14 ko. 3 finger gap from 6.

[Chawap]

'92 Corolla Gli matic po yun car ko.. ano po ba other possibilities?

around how much po kaya tanabe?

[Chawap]

any comments for RSR lowering springs? Ideas on how much? salamat po..

[alpha-q]

Maiba naman ako. Gusto ko sana magpalift ng suspension. Naka outlander kasi ako ngayon pero medyo mababa yung likuran nya kasi may nakakabit na tow hitch which I think is heavy.

San po pwede magpalagay ng lifter dito sa makati?
Ano po ibig sabihin ng bottom out?
Around how much po magpalagay nito?
