den u'll have to get preset adjustables lor... or send ur car over for a month or so for complete tune up... head down to sepang for a few round as well... hehehehe....of all mentioned above, TITAN is the most expensive, isnt it?
Read that u gotta go back to their workshop, and adjust spring rates/height till u r satisfied...
Assuming a person is located far away like in Sarawak or Sabah, who do not have the privilege of going to the workshop (TITAN ka, HWL ka), which would be the more suitable set of abs that already comes with spring rates more suited for the general driver?
I don't think Tien has a fully adj hi-lo & soft-hard model for the Iswara/Saga.I personally is going for TEIN fully adjustable :)
u faster than me on asking this question..I don't think Tien has a fully adj hi-lo & soft-hard model for the Iswara/Saga.
yup,they don't......:proud:I don't think Tien has a fully adj hi-lo & soft-hard model for the Iswara/Saga.

sounds like many many much work....i guess with adjustables with varying settings, got no choice...Anyway, for additional tips.
Once you change your suspension setup, plz change to a bucket seat, a seat you can feel your car balance and grip with your butt, you shoulders and you thighs.
Try normal speed entering a corner, then 2nd time same corner, push abit, and harder, then harder more n so on n so forth.
Find your grip, does it under or over most time......use your body to feel the seat n the G-force.
Then try this too, when in highway, cruise at least 80kmh n zig-zag HARSHLY (when the road is clear ofcoz!) Then try to feel how much your rear suspension bounce, does the tyre grip loses it's traction, and how much movement your tail occurs in the jerk.
From there, when you tweak your rear suspension again (in any method you can try) then you try again, you WILL see the difference.
Lets talk about some basic Hi-Lo setting.
Sohai proton rally-wannabe style
- Actually this setting can be very good, it pushes most the weight to the FRONT, hence the 0-100kmh is quite good since the front tyres gets all the grip.
- If you try zig-zag hashly, you will realise the rear will lose traction easily, dangerous for a normal driver n car stability hard to predict
- But this setting is GOOD for autoX, since it has good front grip and loose rear traction
Nose up, Tail Down
- This may sound ridiculous, but actually you cant differenciate with your naked eye
- Zig-zag test shows that the car is will balanced, the rear grips back immediately after minor traction loss
- Highway corner, at 160kmh the rear grip very very well, coz the wieght is tranfer to the back, as well as the aerodynamics is keep your nose down, you DONT even need a bodykit!
FINALLY, for Hi-Lo, the most crucial thing for performance n comfort, is to balance the car playing the ride hieght of front n back, and also harder absorber rate will help too.
Happy tryings:wavey:
Nop, TITANS are the best adjustables for saga/iswara...very reputableI don't think Tien has a fully adj hi-lo & soft-hard model for the Iswara/Saga.
Soon, soon. I made sure it won't be soft, that's for sure. They pull some strings with their regular suspension supplier to custom made the rear springs as a 'once-off' unit to match with the Titans. I was so carried away with the conversation, I forgot to ask him "What about future replacements ?" hehNop, TITANS are the best adjustables for saga/iswara...very reputable
very good....as you will find out....hohoho
They told me the cost before committing. I think the spring is 2.65kg/fnvmlah, you got quite a few yrs b4 worrying about that...but then...hehhe yeah you shud've asked, ballpark figure for the cost?
Im more leaning towards HWL actually now, cost-wise, quite ok...read that durability is pretty ok, which is one big + sign for me
