Permanentheaddamage Neutral Newbie May 6, 2003 Share May 6, 2003 I thought Tye Soon was a wholesaler? Got any mechanic to recommend to change whole suspension? What is the estimated price? Thanks for your help! ↡ Advertisement Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Typoerror Neutral Newbie May 6, 2003 Share May 6, 2003 if you don't go on track often, spring + damper good enough......coilover is more suitable for track than for road use.... if thats the case, i better stick to spring + damper combo liao...

Modeldriver Neutral Newbie May 6, 2003 Share May 6, 2003 Was told once that need to do both at the same time, or do coilovers. Something to do with if springs and dampers are not properly matched, it'll reduce the life of one or the other. As for track vs road use, guess if it's racing grade, yah. There are street/racing ones right ? Some can even allow for adjustment of stiffness. Just put in a set of Tein Wagons for my Stream. Surprisingly, the ride doesn't feel too harsh, but cornering seems to have improved. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Modeldriver Neutral Newbie May 7, 2003 Share May 7, 2003 Need to shop around a bit... price can be few hundred different. Got mine at Fong Kim - much cheaper than McWell's quoted price. Cusco and HKS are even more pricy than Tein Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Luckcent 4th Gear May 8, 2003 Share May 8, 2003 For most cars, coil spring will not be damaged in any condition, it is the shocks that gave way. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
