Hey guys,

I am a newbie in car mods.... but damn interested to mod me car... I am looking for some sport springs.... I drive a Wira Aeroback 1.6 1999... with 16" rims....Which brand is good? How about absorbers? do I need to change them too?

Currently... my tyres hits the arch when I go for a bumpy ride... With the springs this prob would be resolved rite? they say my spring now is too lembut.

The cheaper the better... lol .... but I dun mind spending more to get better comfort or quality...

you can buy APM springs...shd be around 100-120 but will be very stiff.....but still you will need to get yr wheel arch knocked a bit to avoid scrapping against the tyre.....u must change yr absorber if they are spoiled

im using GTI original set,so there some plastic cover below my arch..surely dont want to cut it..but what can i do to stop the wheel from hitting the arch?pull my camber inside?but it will effect my tyres right?can i lay my rim?(the inside side where they put the spacer?).will these effect my rim durability??

p/s : sorry to interrupt your thread..but im using APM and panther absober for front and honda absorber for front for rear..but the problem still arise..so,be careful when changing your absorber or spring..i will be so expensive..after you calculate everything..adjustable?consider it bro..

u can try to take out the plastic cover & knock yr wheel arch further out....has to be done by a good "ketuk mudguard" guy...or then try not to use wide tyres.....or go for super hard springs....

if u want your car more comfortable and looks lowered, use Sapura Leda sport spring combine with APM Perfomax. it's great combination and not so expensive like other brand..

U can use Monroe with sapura leda but need to 'ketuk' inside the mudguard. If not, ur mudguard will 'eat' the tyres. This becoz u r using 16" rims and if u using 15", no need to do that. If u dont mind about the budget, I suggest to u the adjustable shock absorbers. That's more comfortable and expensive too.

Porsche has announced that the drop-dead gorgeous 918 Hybrid shown at last year’s Geneva Motor Show will be fulfilling the wet dreams of petrol heads by plugging into reality and hopefully, a power socket near you, soon. A Porsche with 500hp and an additional 218hp from the twin electric motors, it’s definitely going to be on our Christmas wish list...
