I am contemplating in buying fluid shocks for the family van... Was thinking if it can make the ride really plush? Like Starex... a little floaty... Do I still need to put better springs on it? TIA!
Btw, the van is a classic Toyota Liteace...iam3739.com

January 20th, 2008 12:10 AM #2my old econovan when I got it are all on fluid shocks and the ride is really bumpy and harsh. I replaced all 4 shocks with gas filled, and I never regret
it.

fluid shock is nice but, this would not advisable kung maraming rough road, pot hole dahil madaling masira. This is very very good kung ang kalsada ay maganda at kung may kunting un-even ang surface road.

January 20th, 2008 02:00 PM #4you might not get it to ride exactly like the starex since they are based on different platforms.

Talaga sir speedy?
Ibang weight rin kasi ang Starex noh? Anyway, this will be the least of my priorities... I'm not sure if it's going to ride better kaya I am having doubts...iam3739.com

Pardon the intrusion.
Isn't the ride quality more dependent on the SPRINGS rather than the shocks?
I know a few Jazz owners who noticed the skittish, firm ride of the stock car calmed down when they installed lowering springs.

January 27th, 2008 10:29 AM #7actually it's a little of both since the springs and shocks work in tandem. if it were just the springs you would be bouncing around everywhere... if it were just the shocks then the car would be so low you could not move it
the triumph of man over... man!, using the crudest of implements (by modern standards).
