Car too low, does dampers increase the height a little?

[clawhammer]

I'm on stock absorbers with Eibach springs and the gap is 2 finger front/rear. The problem is going into basement carparks (as usual). The question is, can I add a damper or how can I make it 1 more finger higher? Another 10mm or so would be just nice to save my skirtings and bodykits :)

get spring bushing seat which can increase ur ride height a little...

u can find that rubber bushing at tyre shop.

Cool!! Does it really work or it'll give safety problems and more squeky sound? How much does it cost roughly?

it works as a spring cushion.... also provide a little bit extra height.... dont hope that it will last long.... rubber bushing will soon wear out and ur ride will eventually go back to normal height....

nope.... it will eliminate squeek sound as it is a rubber bushing...

Thanks everyone and of course, I know a Koni would do a job so does a Tanabe or Tien adjustable absorbers. If that is what I wanted at the first place, I wouldn't have gone with the Eibach. The thing is, how do I increase height with this existing absorber with the current Eibach springs :)

Bro JINEIL2EN, how does your Tein Flex works?

if ur abs's mounting allowed, just add a piece of 1cm-1.5cm metal spacer on the middle of the mounting & chassis. but this can't apply on the top & lower end os bush type like kancil or kelisa...


hahaha... Hammer bro, i didn't using Tein Flex ma... hahaha.. i'm selling only... hehe... i'm poor ma, so... using "CBB Dual Adjustable" only... just change the spring to increase the stiffness....

What Eibachs you using? Pro-Kit or Sportline?

I'm using the Pro-Kit as well. The height is just nice

 

[clawhammer]

Thanks bro JINEIL2EN I'm just worried adding spacer like that would give problems during cornering/high speed. I don't want the absorbers to come out cos after that, you won't be able to see me posting here anymore, lol.

I think Koni would suit me better as I want some additional height plus a comfort ride, not too hard/stiff.

Bro DLegend, I'm using Eibach Pro Kit on CM5. What ride are you on? Actually it's ok if I drive real slow but the front lips would easily get scratched on parking basements

 

[JINEIL2EN]

nop, those spacer is tightening on ur car... while ur abs is tightening thru the spacer, & the chassis. the same theory that apply to those Damper & Spring separate type's setup while they wanna add the height on....
