Tweakmax2 Neutral Newbie November 21, 2011 Share November 21, 2011 I am driving Latio, spring changed to NF 210 lowered spring, absorber original. Previously wanted to go low for more stable, however currently need to ferry elderly and children so priority is comfort. So which option is better? 1 Change the spring back to stock, absorber remain 2 Change the absorber to fit the NF210, not sure if this opt will get a comfortable ride 3 Change a full set of spring and absorber, any recommendation for a comfort set? Or is there any other better chioices? ↡ Advertisement Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Or is there any other better chioices? strange for a latio owner to come in and ask how to make it more comfy. in the first place, why will u wanna lower a latio? the car already meant for comfort driving. for stability, will just go for coilovers already. my genuine advice is, change back stock springs with stock absorbers, cos I don't think ur car usage suits lowering of any sort. stock should be your most comfortable option. hope i dont sound harsh. i believe many people will tell u the same thing.

If you are kidding with us, this is ticklish. I believe you are wealthy enough to enjoy yourself with 18-inch wheels. I like to believe replacing worn tire do not cost you a bomb. Just make sure the sidewalls do not touch the road when you are cornering with the lower tire inflation pressure (sidewalls mostly got only 2-ply reinforcement these days). Happy motoring to you.
