better get aftermarket spring...

wasting money to cut stock spring

cutting spring will spoilt the original setting of lotus handling. it will not be comfy as the stock setting is quite stiff and great in handling yet comfy ride.

changing to after market spring will be wiser if u insist to lowered yr ride but no more comfort...

cutting spring is stone-aged already bro....now after market spring is very affordable.
personally, i advice if u can, try out driving with stock spring then u change, i believe u will go back to stock.....juz my 2cents

Agreed. Cutting spring is really stone-aged. That was what ppl did those days when sports springs were expensive and not so common. But nowadays, there are so many aftermarket springs available that it's just not worth cutting springs which will definitely be bumpy and spoil your ride. Been there done that!
Though there are many aftermarket springs out there now ranging from rm1xx to rm8xx, my advice is not to go for too cheap as it just seems questionable how they can produce such springs:rolleyes:. Best bet would be to go for the medium range and above. Perhaps you can check this out RGT High Performance Sports Springs - Persona 1.6 - Accessories & Parts for sale Kuala Lumpur - Mudah.my

 

[DanzEterna]

yup..agree with all...
dont ever cut your springs bro...it could cause accident....
better to get sports springs bro...like apm brand....sholud not be more than
rm250.

 

[fadhil1245]

i oso agree with the others...try looking ay mudah.com...someone want to sell apm performax sport spring at rm180 for waja...i think its oso can fit in persona absobers

 

[DanzEterna]

waja can fit persona ah?
how bout gen2 can fit persona?

 

[fadhil1245]

im quite sure absober for waja gen2 persona are same...bcoz last time i browse spare part price list and it stated in one row (FR ABSOBER WAJA/GEN2/PERSONA RMbla bla bla)...so of cos their spring oso same..

im using wira 1.6 sport spring fitted on my waja..all same, the diameter, the size but not the height..from my review,front stock spring waja compare to fr wira 1.6, waja spring more higher bout 5mm to 7 mm than wira 1.6 spring..maybe of waja curb weight..for the back it hv same height..but after installed wira 1.6 sport spring,my fr waja quite 'tenggelam'..just wanna match the body and the sport rim so dats why i have to 'tenggelamkan' more for the front...

just my 2 cents...do correct me if im wrong...

 

[amad108..]

but when change spring it also recommended change ur abs too, coz oem abs support only oem height.. by lowering it (change spring), u need the same height as the spring for the abs work efficiently with the new height.. i once ride lowered satria but feel really comfort but at the same time can do tight corner (not adjustable)

 

[cheeft]

i'm driving a gen2 mme which comes with R3 lowering spring... i can tell you that the spring is awesome... really good handling and the ride is just ride... not too soft nor it is too hard... recently just change my abs to GAB and the ride becomes a bit stiffer but with even better handling... really loving it!!!

 

[93na]

bro cuttin springs is just a no no...... aftermarkets are ok nows days! anyway just wan to know if ajustable from a satria can be fitted in a gen2 or persona.....

p/s i m selling my titan racing ajustable cheap is high low.... some say soft hard ha ha ha.. about the soft hard titan has a way to ajust it but cant diy like those 32 steps on other brand....

 

[amad108..]

huhu.. titan arr.. i'm using it too, its kind da pricy for new one but really, u get what u pay.. summore use with its look-alike camber plate mount abs but non-adjustable camber..
