Hi sifu,

I not sure this question already out or not but i did search regarding myvi suspension and abs..

my Setup :-

- 16 inch rim
- 45 Series tyre
- Standard OEM Perodua ABS ( i think is apm rite) 2005 model
- spring is Lowered Version Gab
- im using stopper at the back to prevent back tyre 'kena' when 4 ppl inside my car.

the problem :-

- for sure very bumpy and not really comfortable for back ppl.
- my mom start bising already, my myvi macam no absorber at all. "keras" she say if she sit behind
- eventhough stylo. i also feel abit dizzy if riding too long

solution :-

-planning to change all 4 oem abs to (sachs abs, lyn quote for me RM 350 for 4 pcs)
- do i need to change the spring as well. i wan get back the comfort feeling. but try dont want sacrifice my lowered style..
- any opinion or suggestion for me. really "*ss pain already" haha

nothing beats stock suspension for comfort...

so go for stock and potong spring if u really wanna lower. though i dont really advise on potong sprin.

also try to go for higher profile tires.

maDMAN,

thanks bro. waiting sifu sifu here to reply my thread. if like that might as well use back my old spring. am i correct?

like that Madman says... ntg beats original suspension for comfort.. for springs, u might try Eibach.. it is the most recommended springs by all Myvi low-rider... so far the most comfortable 1 (but still stiffer than OEM's)

capiche,

thank you so much bro! very appreciate it. planning to buy oem spring from my internal friend in perodua.

btw, how to know is it my abs still in good condition? check got leaking or not is it?

where is ur oem spring u previously swapped out??

haha.. very long story.. you know what i mean.. i left it at tyre shop T.T

no problem bro...

from what i can see, swapping back will not reduce the problem of banging ur fender.. cause the rim offset is wrong... with the correct rim offset,u wouldnt hit the fender with lowered springs..

there's few ways of solving the problem
1) since u r matching a lowered spring to OEM abs.. the compression rates are different.. so dun expect both to work in harmony.. trial and error with diff abs n springs..
2) swap to a higher profile tire..
3) go back to OEM.. haha

next time keep all the ori stuff.. last time when i demod my car, one stupid saga air filter box cost me rm150.. thx to my ignorance back then..

guessing tyre is 205/45/16 ?

i use this tyre size too back when i use 16 inch rims ... and lowered and everything .... not comfortable at all. haha.

first i change to tyre size 195/50/16 ... can feel a bit comfort ....

but still my mom complain ... so change all to stock spring .. no more complain .. haha .. but roll like hell in corner ... roll can slow down .. my mom non stop complain cannot take one .... haha.

yes bro.. haha our mom completely same!

okay i guess now.. finding ppl to swap with my sport rim.. or go to tire shop and looks for MYVI SE RIM (looks nicer) and change to oem spring back !

any other option for me?

if you wanted to maintain your lowered spring as your thought for lowering it,get a good short-stroke absorber.

DONT GET SACHS.AS SACHS DONT PRODUCE SHORT STROKE.ITS IDLE ONLY FOR OEM SPRING.

Overall,your ride will become stable and wont be comfort.In term,you can get good handling together with comfort.Either one you have to sacrifice.

Aiya, I didn't know change to 195/50 can be better~~~ I changed Rims totally to 15.

I'm using Sachs for my OEM spring now, satisfied. But don't think it is really meant for lowered spring la...will not function as it should be...

Best set up for me currently for ride comfort and performance now is :

1)eibach pro kit springs (bought back in 2007 - previously paired with oem absorber)
2)paired with sachs super touring absorbers (just bought last week from kobe10)
3)running on oem SE09 rims with continental comfort contact tyres (locally made)

Height is just nice and comfort is good, cornering is confident and controlled.
And rebound rate is not to harsh like Tein or Gab Springs.
Many of my friends tried that and finally switch to eibach springs.

Sit 4 adults or transporting heavy goods without worrying back tyre hitting mud guard.

okay in that case. the solution is :-

get eibach and pair it with oem absor

get back original spring and pair back with oem abs?

short stroke abs such as?

er... i think best is get a set where you can have a lil more comfort and change the tire to 195/55 R15 get Falken 912, Hankook V12 or others entry level tires like Yokohama A Drive or Dunlop D-01..

BTW Myvi 14" user skip Conti CC1 by all means... it has a problem which we call it bi-lateral offset for the tire which cost you hard to get a good balancing, and slight bumpy feeling (like bulged tire side wall)...
i got 1 set on my old toy which weight about 1.3 tonne++ used about 6 months had this problem already... regret should have stick to Michelin XM1 or Falken 912

will try out michelin xm1 when get pay hehe.

Any recommendations for good pricing and shop?
Thanks in advance

mostly klang but u can try out some shops at PJ or Seri Kenbangan...

michael,

if im change to 15 series. is it the perfect choice? the last time 1 shop in sungai buloh got tell me that falken 912 is good choice for me too.

hmm how about,

change to 15
get 195/55/15 (falken 912)
oem spring
oem abs

is it i can get back the smoothness for back passenger seat?

well u can... eh that is not 15 series la, those are 15" rim la...

that will works if you want comfort but of course u need to need to drive a bit more carefully...

lol.. sorry! 15" inch.... icicic okay.. thx bro if i still want to stick with my 16" rim.. either get back my oem spring and pair it with oem abs.. or change to 195/50/60 series tire and get back oem spring?

well hard to say whether it will hit ur fender or not but i do not recommend coz it will not give you the comfort when u go to 16" wheel on Myvi... and 195/50 R16 has very limited choice of tires...

okay noted!

195/50/16 the famous brand how much and what the model?

maybe i will change to 15 or maybe i gonna get 14" myvi se rim

if 14" is it okay if i go for 185-195/60/14? and what brand you suggest me bro..

final words from you.. and i gonna go wheel shop this weekend =)

try 195/55 R15 should be ok... on that size try Hankook V12 (performance with a lil comfort) or Falken 912 (comfort with a lil performance)... fit in the stock suspension system it shall be fine...

noted ! and thanks..

hmm..can i revive this topic?

just wanna ask...quicksilve or someone...its this is the best solution for myvi? if i want use rim 17" with 205/45 Achilles tyre can? with combination eibach pro kit spring and sachs super touring absorber? its that comfort? coz now im using GAB Hi/low soft/hard..no comfort at all...and im using stabilizer bar...any solution?how to manke my myvi comfort and no bumpy? tq

wow .. adjustable + bar .. ur car quite hard ..bro .. actually wad bar u having now .. cz bar also got effect car comfort also .. .if can state it out ..so others forummer can figure out for u .. = )

most comfort always stock OEM. aftermarket are usually stiffer for performance no matter how you see it unless you plan to buy rebound/stuff or softness adjustable absorbers that can cost you more than 5k or even up to/over 10k for a set.

Hope someone can help me here.

My situation a bit similar to TS. After going to tyre workshop to do tyre balancing, the mechanic said my back absorbers leak edi and they changed new one. This happen 1 year ago and after that I feel not comfort at all when driving. I think I can feel all the things on the road even small rock

Now what I need to do to get those comfort back? Change new one? If yes can you recommend me the brand? I think the current im using is definitely low quality one...

Is Perodua SC selling those ori abs? Coz I also left them at the tyre shop..

Just change back to Kayaba or APM...

Performax is the best i found so far.

Is APM Performax durable enough for a harsh road condition?

I cant really claim that only APM will able to support most harshest road condition,but as i see for local cars and light weight carrying,APM does the job which impressive.
Please dont match with lowering spring as it will make those shocks worn even faster as usual and dont you want a bouncy ride !

Do contact me if you are interested 0102115733.

ok guys so whats the best short stroke abs to pair it up with eibach pro kit....im currently using improve shocks and i dont like it at all.

Hi, may I know your eibach spring pair with Sachs absorber myvi 1.3 or sachs absorber myvi lagi best ?

Mine is first gen myvi, lagi best havent come out yet that time.

But i believe both platforms is similar and can install to myvi lagi best as well

Changed my Myvi to eibach + Sachs absorber.
Front wheel feel comfortable, but when come to rear wheel a bit bumpy. Rear will feel comfortable only when it is carry 3 person or heavy things, or else will feel bumpy when rear seat not carry person.

Mine stock spring with GAB SA Series installed few years back.

Cornering is good and no more floaty feeling but the ride quite hard. Back passenger will bump and knock their head on roof once goes over shopping mall's killer bump.

On rough surface the car bumps till it's sounds like my whole car's screw and dashboard going to tercabuts. lol

Eibach produce Pro Kit springs for Myvi? I'd love to install too but I don't see that on Eibach's official web...

Sometimes official website they dont update or just too many to be listed.

Try checking on reputable sites like kakimotor. If there got > Means Yes
