Hi everyone,
I'm driving a proton saga lmst 2005. recently, my rear, stock absorbers has failed. i plan to change into an aftermarket sports absorbers but i cant really decide which one because the choices are plenty. i don't carry heavy loads, willing to sacrifice comfort for better performance. i'm also using rims with 205/45/16 tires. since the design of my rear wheel arch is flat, i worry using lowering spring will cause my tires to scrape the rear fender. hence i plan only to change to sports absorbers. my choices are currently these:

- Monroe Sensatrac ( http://www.lelong.com.my/proton-sag...trac-front-rear-M091664398-2007-01-Sale-I.htm )

- Pro Ride Sport ( PRO-RIDE SUSPENSION SYSTEM: Proton ABSORBER )

- GAB SA Series ( GAB SA Series Absorber Proton Perodua HondaToyota FROM RM580 per set )

I've also come across something new such as RGT Sports Tuned Absorber ( RGT SPORTS TUNED Absorber - Proton Saga Iswara - Car Accessories & Parts for sale Kuala Lumpur - Mudah.my )

Jasma Absorbers ( http://www.zerotohundred.com/newfor...4281-jasma-high-performance-absorber-new.html ) offer very long warranty but i can't really find user comments so far. But im open to any suggestions here.

Hopefully all of you with all your exp can help me. Thank you all for your help.

i will suggest
GAB - for performance, although abit hard, but confident when attacking those virgin corners :)
Monroe - more for comfort than performance
Pro Ride - sucks, tend to sag after 2 yrs.
jasma - same as pro ride. haha.

if its brand new, the chances of the suspension failing within the 1st year is very low.
im not sure bout mines, as there are lotsa immitations in the market.
if u want cheap & reliable, go for GAB, hotbits or HWL.

HWL height adjustables are very similarly priced to GAB absorbers + GAB lowering springs. any advice for me on this one?
