newbie question's on suspension

**edsky** · February 21st, 2008 12:07 PM

good day tsikoteers...i have a mitsu adventure...when i fill the back with load (family) i noticed my rear suspension is "nakatungo"(sorry for the term)...so medyo naawa ako sa sasakyan ko...then my friend told me to install "load plus" para di raw bumagsak yun likod ko, w\c he also did in his adventure...yun nga medyo matagtag daw ang ride pag walang sakay sa likod...so i got an idea to add another leaf spring (mulye) para mas ok...

my question is
1. w\c is better to install "load plus" or leaf spring? & pls explain nyo po why the one is better than the other.

2. where can i buy the load plus? kung leaf spring (anu magandang brand?)

3. how much it will cost me?

4. how much will the labor cost me?

5. any reputable auto supply can buy it?

am from pasig po...and i'm willing to be a popcorn

inside my car kung mag isa lang naman po ako drive...

thank's & more power fellow tsikoteer's

God Bless po...

its a lifter... well, i really do not recommend that... talagang matagtag.
why not change the spring?

+1 on changing the spring. Baka kasi yung other suggestions mo magbounce ka na sa loob ng adventure mo, baka magsisi ka in the end and sayang ang pera.

other option is switching to gas-filled shocks para medyo stiffer. favorable ito kapag medyo maraming load ang sasakyan. pero syempre, safety first, do not overload your vehicle dahil maraming parts ang pwedeng masira. tignan mo sa vehicle manual ang load capacity ng sasakyan mo.

lagi bang loaded ka pagbumibyahe sir? kasi talagang tatagtag yan kung papalitan mo ng lifter or spring, baka magsuffer naman yun everyday trip mo, lagi na lang matagtag yan. nang-galing na kasi ako sa matagtag na sasakyan, nakaiinis everytime na may trip. and mind you our roads here sa pinas ay medyo di gaanong maganda.

sir reilley, i would rate na 50/50 yun chance of being loaded yun sasakyan ko sir..that's why, naawa po ako sa kanya, when i see it na medyo nakatingala pag loaded..
