Was wondering if anyone tried fitting sports spring to their car's stock absorbers? Did a low level/budget upgrade by fitting in a APM performax sports spring to the stock APM absorber of my wira. Despite the drastic increase in bumpiness (think it's called road-feel here :_: ), I was pretty satisfied with the performance of the upgrade. The problem crops up after a few weeks when i started hearing weird pinging sounds from the rear and back portion of the suspension..both at the right side. The sounds are audible in normally driving... dun even hafta go through bumpy roads to reproduce. Simple actions like accelerating or braking are suffiicient for me to reproduce the sounds. I have sent the car for inspection but to date, the cause of the problem remains unsolved.
Anyone, has encountered similiar problem before? I was told by a friend that the problem could be caused by a mismatch between the spirng and the absorber, i.e. the spring needs to be longer than the absorber for the suspension to work properly?
Feedback appreciated :cry_smile:
