Shibadog Turbocharged January 7, 2020 Share January 7, 2020 1 hour ago, boonhat_91 said: Good sharing by bro Toeknee_33 in other thread. On this topic, anyone got recommendations for workshops with suspension tuning expertise? Those who go aftermarket, how do you "test" your new suspension setup? e.g. drive a fixed route that has humps and bumps and many corners, track testing etc. testing and tuning it in terms of handling (understeer vs oversteer) or in terms of ride comfort? I like this https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EDmHpxgMxFU ↡ Advertisement 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Because it is generally unlikely that handling can be improved without some sacrifice to ride comfort, or vice versa. Generalised statement of course. I'm open to views for either aspect (handling vs comfort) as I'm just genuinely curious about this topic. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

riot168 1st Gear February 26, 2020 Share February 26, 2020 (edited) Have been a month since I changed to Sachs OEM front and rear with housing and all as well as replace the rollbar. But I did not replace the springs. Found the ride to be bouncy, whole vehicle rattling, steering wheel vibrates and car rocking from side to side when going over even smooth road, you can also feel every bump on your floorboard, the passenger and driver seat also vibrates.. so, I changed the Rims and Wheels and top up my steering wheel fluid. Now the ride is not bouncy is reduced (comfortable neough) and vehicle is not rattling unless over rough road. The wheels only vibrates when driving above 60km/hr and u can feel the floor vibrates as well. However, the car rocking from side to side is very apparent when you slow down the car when turnign out towards the slip road... What else should I changed apart from a new car ...or a new driver? LOL sibei fustrating... itchy fingers go change shocks. oh, and remember to get reputable workshops to do shocks. I go back to small workshop to check with the boss and he say.. no warranty ... (1 month old only .leh).. The car is easily depressed at the front .. but the rear is harder. I can pressed down the whole car easily to touch the wheels top in front, but not so for the back.

Want not to be scared, don't mod. Usually the whole suspension warranty voided. However some AD might void the warranty on the whole ride. So........ Mishap do happen and why do you claim warranty from them when its a mishap? You gotta make a claim with your insurance company or the other party if there is one. If you wanna change to eibach springs then I guess its just the springs you need to change on the parts part. Springs cost around $500-600 with labour I guess.

Shorter spring should match with appropriate shocks. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

bruiselee Neutral Newbie May 4, 2020 Share May 4, 2020 Oh what I meant by mishaps is not due to accident, but it just failing. My limited noob understanding is suspension consists of Arms. Bushings Shocks absorbers Springs (plan to change this first) So are they just limited to them? And if is so, are these parts able to claim under warranty during the initial 5 years warranty? Or are they all wear n tear items and either way I have I have to spend to replace them? 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hard to fall off your ride. Your limited noob understanding is much more than mine. I only thought suspensions are made up of springs and dampers. I seriously think that those AD will that those parts you mentioned as wear and tear parts. Usually covered under the first year of warranty. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

daviethedragon Neutral Newbie May 28, 2020 Share May 28, 2020 Is there a electronic damper controller motor for coilovers with the usual turn knob on top. Tien had a addon unit for their coilovers and I was wondering if I can find one that can addon to any suspension coilover? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
