lowering spring

[siong]

hey guys... i just want to ask.. if let say i instal lowering spring.. will there be any bad effect on my car??? ehe...

 

[SkYwAlKeR]

sacrifice ride comfort...
some claim that in long term, drive shaft might damage...
stock absorber will 'kong' early...

 

[siong]

aiyoyoyoy!!!! lidat one ar??? what is ur advise bro? shud i do? or shud i not???

 

[edwin_lcw]

dun lo ...... stock std ok ma ..... if u wan u change change absorber n spring togeter la

 

[siong]

then i wont change de.. cause my fren want to give me the spring... last time he use for his saga..use a while only he change var de... so i tot of taking from him lor.. then now sin bro say no good de... i dowan change de... scared

 

[SkYwAlKeR]

if he give u free, give it a try lor... mayb u can live with the bumpiness... hehe...
absorbers wont damage to fast one lar... mayb takes few months/year time... after change sport springs, dont sell ur old stock springs... u still can use them back if u got fedup with sports springs mah....

jz my 2 cents...

[siong]

Once I changed the spring to sports springs without changing the absobers too but nuthing goes wrong. It still consider ok if u r driving in Penang's road as long as u drive carefully lor. Cheers!

normal lowered springs are ok... u will experience slightly bumpy ride...

dun lower too much... it will kill the shaft, joints, bearings....

I tought of lowering my front part for my wira se... because the front part 3 fingers can go in... tought of cutting the spring.... use it until it kong then change to adjustable.... what u guys say ?

if u dont plan to use back ur old springs, bear the consequence that ur abs gonna 'kong' vr early and wanna experience a vr bumpy ride, cut lo.... its ur car, we cant stop u....
since u already plan for adjustables, why not save up till u buy the adjustable... stock height has its benefits... slowly mod ur car lar, dont rush things....:regular_smile:

 

[khguan]

it is not easy to lower a WiSE... cos WiSE original front springs are already lowered... newer ones i duno la..

i have heard ppl fitting in lowered sport springs end up higher than stock.... i guess somebody who have done this mod should share their experience here...

 

[edwin_lcw]

wah lowered ? i see like not lowered ...... mine WiSE now front more higher than behind .... behind onli 3 finger front can go in 4 finger ..... i now wanna jack up the rear .... adding bush ..... like roy27 .... the ride looks more sporty ...... jack up around 5 finger ..... 2.5 inch ..... u all think ok ar ?>

 

[khguan]

try using a 2 tonne jack on a normal wira... and on a WiSE... then u will know de difference...

 

[rattan]

Well my WiSE , the behind only 1.5 fingers can go in... because the woofer box,spare tyre... and stuff in the boot... the front on is 3 - 3.5 fingers... looks funny sometimes to me.... think wanna go hi/lo adjustable soon... but thinking very hard on it...

 

[edwin_lcw]

wah adjustable ar ? most cheapest also costs u 1000 ++ man ...... think twice ohh

 

[rattan]

Yeah .... adjustable cost more then 1k but then handling for sure increase and also can lower my ride without much damage... can use it for the long run...

 

[jack_736]

hmm... is it true that if u put sport springs, u will have LOTS of trouble when goin up shoppin mall ramps???
yo rattan... m drivin WiSE jus like u :-) ... wat mods have u done to ure car ??

this is my fren experience for lowering the suspension...... my fren car scratch all bottom part even got some scratch for fender....... so he change back to better sporty suspension system(not too low 1) with biggerr rimmmm.....

1st ... pls dont cut ur stock spring.... Just change the spring n absorber together to sport version 1... if you change or cut the spring and using the stock absorber... then ur absorber will kong early....

2nd if ur spring and absorber cant suppport ur car weight.... then ur rim will easy bengkok........ (you know lah... malaysia road)...

3rd.... for sure..... cutting ur spring or changing the suspension system.... sure will get bumpy ride....esp for adjustable spring.

so ... if you want to get a sporty look... just get the sporty version suspension system, change to the bigger rim but the tire at least 45 or 50......
