Skodarr Neutral Newbie January 2, 2006 Share January 2, 2006 Nope, I notice it when I collected my ride way back in 2002 ... Ask JTA why ... They can't answer me and they say it's normal ... So, I guess it's normal then ... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mel4fun Neutral Newbie January 3, 2006 Share January 3, 2006 (edited) I got all mine job done with Servo. Been a learning experience for me. Sach Performance set is a value for money setup .... a good starter kit. At least it is not a mix'n'match setup. Pros and Cons....for each setup. One of the front damper from my Sachs kit gave way after 1 year plus, but manage to change it under waranty. Have to give for Sachs and Servo for getting the item changed. Some swear by Konis, some swear by KWs. Others prefered Bilstein or Sachs..... so it's subjective. However, my preference is Bilstein B8 match with Eibach pro springs. BTW, if your ride is Octy or Tody, stay away from Neuspeed springs. They are more suitable for Golf and Bora. The load rating for the rear is VERY different ! However, Neuspeed rear anti roll bar is VERY VERY nice to have if you are into tracking ! Edited January 3, 2006 by Mel4fun Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Secondhand Neutral Newbie January 3, 2006 Author Share January 3, 2006 Ok... Something new again... But since I'll be getting the Sachs set, I'd be getting Sachs spring too rite? If not, I'll be screwed... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Skodee Neutral Newbie January 3, 2006 Share January 3, 2006 Just had a hard time using Sach shock absorbers...replaced 3 times within a period of 3 months... First time the rear shock absorbers got squeeking sound after replacement, second time replacements become bouncy and finally replaced a third time, it solved all problems Initially thought its the compatibility of Sach absorber with my stock Octy spring... Dennis says should matched... and now on Eibach lowered spring. I would say it works well with compromise between comfort, handling and cosmetics But I doubt the Sach can last after 1-2 yrs Yup Bilstein should be a better choice after hearing all the good stuff.

Lightspeed Clutched January 3, 2006 Share January 3, 2006 Another thing to add on to what Mel already mentioned... I'm on the B8/Eibach Pro setup he mentioned... and coupled with low profile tyres... it's still a pain in the ar*e ... Know what you want, comfort, looks or handling, etc. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Skodee Neutral Newbie January 3, 2006 Share January 3, 2006 Thought Sach has their own spring? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Know what you want, comfort, looks or handling, etc. Yeah .... know what you want. You have to compromise on something. ANOTHER important fact is the choice and profile of the tyre. Certain type of tyre will add in additional "cushion" for your comfort. I P-Zero Russo ...... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Skodarr Neutral Newbie January 5, 2006 Share January 5, 2006 Well, just to share with you guys... ... I manage to get PSS 9 on my ride and found myself taking every corner seriously cause the handling and grappy feeling is GREAT ... And tyre also have to be in consideration too ... However, after changing to stock, I feel more comfort without much lost of handling feel. But I feel very sleepy on my ride now as it's really comfortable ... ↡ Advertisement Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
