hi Sifuz,

I need your advice. Am currently driving a 1.5GL ..
early this year i changed my rims to a 195/55/15.. and recently, i noticed that each time i fetch ppl at the back, the spacing between my wheel and the wheel arch is only 1finger.. if 2 bigger size passengers sit, even without moving, you will know it'll surely scrap the arch if on the move d.

So now, i'm thinking of changing my rear springs & abs as it's been a while d.. went to the shop, the guy recommended me to change front and rear to 1.6's springs. said is stiffer..

But what i read is that if 1.5GL use 1.6 front springs & abs, the front will be higher as the engine is lighter than 1.6.. I duwan my car too high though :S

So now i'm having a dilemma,
1. sud i change front to 1.6 springs?
2. rear 1.6 springs more stiffer but same height, is it true?

Or can you guys tell me ur experience and what springs you use to overcome this issue?

Budget is normal springs, fren suggested adjustables, but too exp :S
Thanks sifuz !

but change valve seal need to open the head, same as top overhaul ard. unless he got special tool to replace the valve seal with just open the head cover. hmm.gif
if your problem only is rear tyre scrapping the arch, you can consider putting rubber bushing on top of the back spring. behind will be higher a bit than before.

yeah thought of spring buffer too.. but since im thinking of change my springs & abs (too long d feels very soft compare to other wira), then will get them all together biggrin.gif
