QUOTE(pedanglaut @ Oct 2 2010, 12:08 PM)
Hi guys, i'm planning to change my Gen2 cps standard absorber to new setsĀ  of absorber afetr 2++ years nod.gif
i think my absorber kong oledi cause i'm using GAB lowered spring..maybe the working stroke of the spring and the absorber different give more stress to the absorber thus failed earlier than expected..my best option now is Improve Comfort Series absorber but the price quoted quite high (rm680 include installation) since the absorber is almost same with OEM, uprated little bit without compromising comfort..most importantly it compatible with any type of spring and heavy duty..but due to budget constrain, i found list of cheaper alternative that seem relevan with my requirement...

1. Sach super touring
2. APM OEM replacement
3. Sapura Proride
4. RGT grancruiser
5. A Fuji
6. GAB White series
7. KONIWA and etc

hope u guys can help me choosing best absorber and please feel free to add more option..TQ rclxms.gif

p/s: My preference is comfort, compatible with GAB lowered spring, heavy duty and long lasting nod.gif

If you intend to get performance and comfort at the same condition,its very hard.
Either you sacrifice Comfort or Performance.
If you looking for

Comfort= Standard OEM spring,Aftermarket Replacement OEM absorber.
Semi Comfort= Sport Lowered Coil,Aftermarket Replacement OEM absorber.
Semi Performance= Sport Lowered Coil,Aftermarket Short Stroke Absorber
Hard Performance= Adjustable.Either High-Low or High-Low-Soft-Hard for flexible all road condition tuning.

If deep pocket doesnt allow you much,get a set from Sapura Proride and APM absorber.Why Sapura ? I believe Sapura is Malaysia and APM been RND absorber for Malaysia road condition.
Most of imported like Tein(thus now they have Malaysia based abs),Ohlins,Blistein,Showa,D1 etc.... follow only their country road condition.By that,the operating weather condition and rebound rate are totally different.Thats why you bump saying "Tein is the hardest absorber ever".So you know which spec is belong to which.

Im not really GAB fan.As i know GAB company closed long time ago.

im currently using Sapura Short Stroke Abs.
It may be hard and sacrifices comfort(where you bumps often) but really worth of money.
If you ask me again which,i would recommand APM.APM Performax perform really good.I heard they god other version of APM's for street use.

But hell,dont buy Brothers APM.They dont even have proof from Factory Output.
