Suspension & Spring

[kurt_629]

actually its still too firm...

on my similar car (scooby version of airtrek)...im using 7k front, 5k rear...still i found out that front is still a little bit on hard side...i would say 6k,4k would be perfect for airtrek...and my car




and biao....what colour is your trek? i think i saw several turbo trek in seremban....

what is your car? GTR? R34?

yeah, this is the chap that poison me..

after reading his post, I am really tempted to change to 6k..

If asking bro. biao, his is airtrek, bro. pomen is scooby airtrek (forester)......lol

black color

seems familiar colour...



mine is this... but only on weekend or working days running here n there

 

[sweelt]

Nice lohh....

 

[biao]

Highway should be okay, but going over bumps and pot holed road will be bumpy

so going over bump speed if is low speed i think not a problem right.
now your absorber brand is?

i think Airtrek more heavy weight than forester, right?

yeap in seremban....

yeap a bit more weight.....since u were on adjustable, my rule of thumb is get softest spring available (suitable to car weight) and then adjust the damper setting....

in order to maintain good handling and still some level of comfort....


thats why i suggest 6k front and 4k rear......


on my forester the best and ideal spring is 5k front,4k rear but if im using that i need to raise my ride height (running quite low body height).....so 6k,4k would be the better option...

their service should be ok....


so just a matter of your preference only....



for me, i prefer using brand i'm familiar with...but i dont mind venturing into new brand/unfamiliar brand if i was in your position...

because their price is not low, if i top up till 3k i think can buy TEIN already. is it correct?
do you have friend buy from them before?

oic..buy 2nd hand come back, so need send to service 1st before install?

Actually got a good deal. Even though 2nd hand, the front were fitted to his car but hardly used. Owner saw my car then go buy Super Saloon NA and started to mod. It took too long and he slowly lost interest, so he say want to pass the car to his workers to use, so I offered to take the suspension off him. Went to collect time, the rears were still in the box.....lol

well since airtrek is same as evo7 suspension wise...

why not getting the used tein from halfcut... send for service first so it should last as long as new suspension...
