sport spring will reduced this symptom.if u got extra money,u can go for
adjustable.if u don't feel like changing the spring,gas abs will do.

for the meanwhile do not make sudden acceleration and brake slowly with distance will reduce those effects i guess. correct me if i am wrong.

my guess is....just get ur suspension upgraded to some recommended settings for your ride.....

it'll help reduce your braking distance for safety as well as reduce squating when launching...causing less traction....i assume ur ride's a fwd...

happy modding

well if budget permits...a set of dampers and springs of the appropriate setting for your ride...would be good....

if you change only the coil springs....u'll have to go for something which matches ur stock dampers...else....on most occasion a swap of aftermarket coil springs would kill the dampers prematurely....

erm well, there are local suspension fabricators who can service and recond stock dampers...but most of the time it'll cost 80 to 100 bucks to recond a 80 to 100 bucks stock damper...so wat's the point?

happy modding

Which, in the same time increases your brake's life span and also decrease fuel consumption! Good!

Hi ZTH,

I was driving back home at midnight while my car ran over a road bump at 40-50kph on a downwards slope. As i was approaching the house, i realised that some liquid was leaking consistently from underneath the car. I quickly parked my car at the porch and examined the leaks, fearing it might be oil or petrol. however, the liquid was actually clear and odourless. I am uncertain of my car's condition; was the liquid just water or something else? I have reason to suspect it's not just...
