hello all,
i got the GAB SS series adjustables for my vios. so, i will be spending time tweaking it! however, some queries below:
1. my front spring rate is 6kg and my rear is 4kg. with my damping set to hard, the car is bumpy, but in corners, slight body roll is noted. should i up my spring rate to further reduce body roll, or is slight roll acceptable? I have thought of installing anti-roll bar to the rear, but was advised not to do so as it may distort the suspension from doing its job.
2. as to my understanding, the benefit of coilovers is the spring matches the damping and its bound/rebound rate. if i uprate my springs, will there be a mismatch?
3. will i need to re-do any alignment and camber re-settings to the front or rear i do any height adjustments?
4. for rear damping adjustment, instead of keep removing my back seat for damper adjustment, i was actually told that i could obtain a "damping adjustment extension" that sticks out from the back seat and eliminate the chores of removing the seat each time i need to turn that damper knob. where can i locate one of this thing?
many thanks :proud:
