Hi Guys,
It is the time to replace my worn out suspension, I need to replace my whole shock absorbers and coils, any referral what product/brand and where? preferably metro manila area.
ride is Honda City Exi97, i have 15's with 195x55x15 tires, and would like to drop my ride at least 1 inch...
front and back nga pala papalitan ko, how much kya and anu anu ba dapat ang i-take note ko before magparepair,
balak ko sana dalhin sa Cruven or Zee for repairs na lng, kaso bka in a long run, bumigay din xa.. Im using Stock/modified shocks and coils, medyo malakas na kalampag sa rear + may squeek na, also di na comfortable ung ride, medyo matigas na ata ung shocks.
have heard of H&R & billstein, for those who have replaced them with this? how much kau inabot? or if not, any suggestions?
Thanks....

Some Honda Club friends I know use Paraut shocks for their SX8 Cities. I've forgotten how much they cost but they're close to OEM. A track-day warrior among them uses Eibach springs also.
If there's one bugbear for the SX8 City, it's the relative lack of suspension upgrade choices...the car's suspension has been heavily modified from its 1988-1991 EF Civic donor chassis.

"Tokico" malamang yung tinutukoy mo. That's a reputable brand for shocks also.
As for springs, I've also heard of Espelir...
Ang Bilstein sadyang mahal...but you get what you pay for, supposedly. A former SX8 member had them installed on her ride and they were reportedly very comfy.

San ba makakapurchase ng Tokico at ng Eibach springs? ung Eibach ba wala ng Lifter? (para medyo mababa-ba ko ung ride) meron sa amin, sabi ng Autosupply namin, mas maganda daw ung Paraut kesa sa Tokiko, and also, nakita ko rin ung prices, mas mahal ng konti ang paraut, tokico nsa below 2k lng eh,
Pero anu ba mas Ok, RIde Comfort, Long lasting, and also, may Konting performance na rin na ksma, pero di naman sa Track sa Road lng and sa Magsaysay, hehe
TOKICO
PARAUT
KAYABA

Mackk, I have a Honda City type Z. I went for an OEM shock, Im into comfort than handling. I bought it sa Alabang Autoparts (infront of goodyear plant). I forgot the price but reasonable na rin.
