Help Needed - Spring Related

bros and sifus...

i installed a lowering spring recently and together changed my rims. OEM rims are 6.5J and this one is 7.0J...comfort is good and handling is improved.

the problem is, tyres at the front are SLIGHTLY and SOMETIMES touch the fender.

I've been inform that we can actually "lapik" the spring with a hard rubber bush to make it higher just a bit and solve this problem.

anyone knows where i can get this done? need to do before "balik Kampung"..

tq guys..

i think any normal repair shop or alignment shops can do it....anyway just curious to know what brand is yr sports springs & what car & rim diameter?? hw come the sports spring is so low until tyres scrap fender ??

 

[gtishadowfax]

hahah..my wrong also laa...previous rim is 6.5J...now using 7J

its APM performax...the spring

thanx bro..

 

[gtishadowfax]

how do u say it to the mech...?

nak ckp apa? lapik spring?

 

[mokomoko]

Im using the APM performax springs too on my satria 1.6 and I have no problems with it. My wheel does not hit the fender as it was only lowered like about an inch only. no qualms

 

[simon]

i also used apm performax b4 on my wira before & it didnt hit my fender as it didn't lower the car that much...maybe an inch or a little more only....most of the sports spring only lower the car a little unless of course if you have cut a bit

 

[gtishadowfax]

ya..its because of the rim..thanks guys

is it the apm performax really good and lasting??? is it original frm apm??? y so cheap the price compare with gab those??? i wanna fix racing spring donno which good... how about kimex??? good or not???

 

[howiechoo]

apm will soften after u had some load other than ur original car weight..mine already lowered+lowered...lolz

waa.. i also got this prob.. but mine is 6.5j offset 40 fit into satria 1.3.. but if put bush, the gap would very high wif a standard spring.. n look like rally.. some told to ketuk mudguard.. another ask to change to 185 tyre wide.. my ques is, any other spring that stiffer than standard?? but domt want to look like a rally.. waja?? wira 1.8??

APM's product quality wasn't good since last 5 years. We keeping received complain from customer who was using APM absorbers. Try looking for Kayaba, if not mistaken the Super series has the same architecture and spec with GAB (kayaba product absorber for GAB Japan before GAB japan close down.)

 

[cik_yat]

APM, Kayaba compare wif monroe.. which 1 is better?

depend on car.. if kancil rm20 for front per piece n rm10 per piece for rear.. for satria rm20 per piece same price for front n rear..

 

[alexklg]

yea... springs only very cheap... but for the long run, i think full adj suspension system is more worth it.

 

[gohkokeng]

my car LMST how the price would be?

if Kancil & Satria meant total is RM60 la? most reasonable market price?

LMST Saga should be same price as Satria too?

 

[cik_yat]

no laa.. satria 80, kancil 60.. u look on ur spring, same as front or not.. i mean spring situated in the absorber.. if like dat, da cost is 20.. rear kancil spring is saperated from absorber.. so it cost 10 only..

 

[gohkokeng]

icic thanks

at least know the price then only seek for shop won't be cheated

 

[half_lif3]

is there any spring that is hard enough but never lower our car?
emm sometimes i jus feel my car is too low...
no $ buy adjustable yet..

 

[cik_yat]

sport spring is hard.. then if u want to keep high, put 1inch bush.. if wira model could use rear honda ferio absorber set n spring to keep higher..
