What is your expectation? Firmer suspension? Handling? Stability?

 

There are a couple of known brands as what the other bros have suggested.

 

It would be good if you make known the type of car you are driving.

paiseh..hijack thread since it's the same topic..

 

would like some advise on the following:

My CIvic ES's shock absorber has went up lorry, so i'm thinking of changing the absorber only..

after enquiring at Stamford tyres, they quoted near 1.2k for 4 absorber plus installation..

the staff there then tells me that 1.2k is damn expensive and recommend me to go online forum and source for 2nd hand coils since my car left about 4 yrs to scrap..

 

So, i wanna find out what's (1)the 'normal' price to change 4pcs of shock absorber for Civic ES. (2)If i'm looking to change to a set of comfort coilovers, how much damage i am looking at?

 

Thanks

coilovers for comfort, er... its like asking for non-spicy chilli. there are such things, but you might as well not spend that kinda cash. stock shocks (<-- try saying that repeatedly aloud and fast) and springs should do fine. they can be found online for very cheap prices. anywhere between $25 for used springs to less than $300 for shocks and springs that were remove from a brand new stock car. aftermarket can range from $200 to $2k (i know some of you are selling your suspension system so i do not dare undercut you guys even though i have seen alot cheaper sets before) installation shouldnt be more than $50? (im spoilt by my regular workshop so im not too sure about labour anymore)

i just converted to coils after 5 yrs on my lowered springs.

 

My shocks were almost gone (1 side leaking, the other sqeaky as hell.)

 

Original shocks and springs cost more than aftermarket coils, so i change my coils for 1180 (include camber nuts and balance).

4 Pcs of shock abosrber with labour cost 1.2K???

 

Unless the shock absorber is aftermarket ones but even if it is aftermarket ones, the price is still too steep

 

Rather spend the 1.2K on a set of BC coilover

 

[Torquey]

would you recommend pillowball mount or rubber mount for coilovers?

[Maffie]

BC coilovers go to Racing Techonologies at Paya Ubi... near Leong Seng there.

BC Coilover can get around 1.2K plus minus ... if i'm not wrong but prices may varies from model to model

 

Think can get from Fong Kim

BC got 2 types. One with the camber kit (BC BR Series) and the other without the kit.

 

If you don't go to track often, then just get the basic coils will do.

For only shocks, the price is way over the hill.

 

Like you, I would go for a set of coils or improved sports shocks with stock springs. Those might be cheaper.

They are no comfort coils. If you intend to get BC, then the stiffness can be adjusted.

 

Invest in a good set of coils if you have some moolah to spare. That should set you for the next 4 years. Suspension plays a part in your car's performance.
