All about springs and shocks(dampers) Options

[AlvinDj]

Just curious...

Anyone tried this combi setup of Vogtland lowering springs + KYB Excel-G (Gas) absorber before..?

Would like to know more on the above mentioned setup if possible.. :)

Use to have Vogtland Lower Spring but not with the combination of KYB Excel-G (Gas) absorber, using the stock asorber is good enough. I selling my Vogtland Lower Spring (See Car performance under lower spring column) :)

i am using BC BR now for a week, so far so good. It is softer than its older brother BC V1 so it offers a more comfortable ride and firm at the same time. Its shocks are also thicker than the V1. This coil is the best bang for the buck imo for budgets below $2k

With new technologies in coilovers, some of the ones that are adjustable are pretty good at balancing stiffness & ride comfort. I had BC's on my RB1 last year. Bad experience. Had to change them twice. First time, tubing spoilt just after 4 months. After that was changed, there was oil leak from both rear tubes all within less than 1 year. I thought I was the only one experiencing this but I found out from friends they had same problem. They either swopped back to OEM or switched to another brand. When it started leaking again, I got fed up & switched back to OEM. I heard from my workshop there's a new brand called PB Performance coming in to town. Magazine Reviews have been good in the UK & Japan. Maybe that's something worth considering.

My stock absorbers which are 2 yrs old now start to sing song when going over humps. NB. Thought they are suppose to last average 3-4 yrs. i m not high mileage somemore, averaging 17000km annually. Q.C nowsaday really questionable...

[Redsuns85]

Every single time I hits a bump or knocks over a hole on the road, there is a lot of noise and vibration. Like metal part hitting against car. However, the suspension is fine when going over a hump.. What could be the problem ?

How long ty last also depends on yr driving style.

Average 70-80k km n abt 3-4 yrs.

I changed mine at 6 yrs n abt 120k km. Although e front was still ok e back were worn n i usually change all 4 at one go.

The rubber mounts worn n cracked or nuts got loose.

Maybe its time to change yr shocks n rubber mounts too.

U never say how old yr shocks n rubber mounts r?
