hi bro ixeo, care to share a little bit more on the services done by Ftuned and PRS? what procedures should i be looking into? im currently riding on GAB SS, considering to either have them serviced, OR hang on awhile longer for a new set of hilosofthard. :hmmmm: helppppp
Pro RS don't "service". Just remove old cartridge from the shock, and insert new one in. Ask cvkit17 he should know better since he just did it. F Tuned is really draining the oil out of the shock, checking the valves etc.
misinformation, i am NOT riding on the SS, my gabs are only HILO, can't recall if they're HA or ST. im the one outa touch here sifu don worry you're still sharp! no longer dampening well and one strut is leaking. with limited fund i see servicing as the road to take.
i have been fighting that dilemma for a long time, my primary agendas for the car were initially the suspension, tires and brake first. unfortunately with the problems plaguing my engine area, priorities shifted and these have been left neglected :stupid:
Were you satisfied with your GAB? If you were you can call them and see how much to service them. You should only explore alternatives if you were not satisfied.
Yes it is expensive but still cant compare to FTUNED la dude...almost 4k for a set. The good thing about KYB is the comfort level. It is really comfortable if compared to many other adjustables. Most of my friends and family didn't notice that I have changed to adjustables. That's one of the reason why I spent that freaking RM820 to service all four. Initially I thought of using Proride at the rear but dropped the idea eventually. You may try Proride. I have heard good reviews about them.
You are using eibach springs aren't u?
F Tuned costs RM150 each damper for service and revalve. Hehe it's cheaper than yours. R Series inverted front, mono rear for Myvi, without soft hard is ~2300. He's working on a twin tube HLSH unit for myvi, in development now. Actually that sounds like the absolute killer suspension setup for a comfort focused street car.
Yes the Sapura Proride is rather popular too, especially among the Inspira crowd. And it's dirt cheap, going for RM350 a set of standard OEM shocks. I did some research on Sapura and turned out rather interesting.
1. They are allegedly the R3 supplier for the lowering springs. Unsure about dampers. If someone can confirm this would be great.
2. They used to be called Sapura Leda. Apparently Leda is like the Lotus of suspensions. Sapura bought/merge/married them, got their technology, down the road sold them off (like how Lotus will soon be whored away).
Alternately, you can sell off the current set and use the money to offset the purchase of a new set
Pretty wise choice.
