    [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...

    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?

    Marami TnX..!

    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.

    [SIZE=4]Thanks GH and Yebo... Do you guys have any particular shop in Banawe that has a good reputation when it comes to installation of these donuts? Do you have any particular brands or type of donut that would last for a long time?

    Thank you very much again guys...

    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.
