for our road conditions, fluid shock dahil mas soft and smoother ang ride nya.
ang con lang ng using fluid shocks eh mas less durable sya compared to gas shocks.

Comfort: fluid front and rear
Hauling: gas ako esp rear in comb with fluid in front
Lowered: gas front and rear

for comfort- fluid
for control - gas

The prime function of gas charging is to minimize aeration of the hydraulic fluid. The pressure of the nitrogen gas compresses air bubbles in the hydraulic fluid. This prevents the oil and air from mixing and creating foam. Foam affects performance because it can be compressed - fluid can not. With aeration reduced, the shock is able to react faster and more predictably, allowing for quicker response time and helping keep the tire firmly planted on the road surface.

Koni sport adjustable shocks is the best suited for our road conditions. It will last the lifetime of your car.

gas filled shocks are most suited for hiway and high speed driving condition.
it has a smmother ride than fluid types under this condition.

old cars usually fluid type shocks ang nakakabit pero yung mga bagong models na car lahat almost gas type

usually we auto supplies recommend fluid sa harap then gas sa likod ...

pero mga cars ngayon gas type shocks na ang lumalabas kaya you have no choice but to change to gas type shocks
