I did complain in posts before that the rear suspension is too oft for my liking. It waved up and down when I go through a certain portion of Kesas. Especially when I put my parents and bro at the back. It is so hard to drive at that section when the rear just do not want to settle down and let me cruise properly.

I then added the spring buffer cushion. This is not the permanant solution, but it is definitely cheaper. The result might vary towards individual, but I am satisfied with what RM160 (2 pairs) does for me. At that section, no more bouncy. Yes, bouncy is the word.

The cushion is just a rubber ring like to be put in between your spring coils. If you go to shops, they will measure your spring height and diameter when they complete jack up your car. Front Spring is larger than rear for our car.

so we need 2 pairs for front and back?

If you are not feeling any bouncy feel for the front, then just install the back. I installed front also to see if it can reduce road vibration. It does help. Did not regret paying 80 bucks extra.

You can buy from GS in LYN. I think there are 2 forumers selling at 90 (??) for 2 pairs. Different brand. I believe they are knowledgable in spring size and he will be able to give you the correct size.

What they are selling is AMT (??) and Watya. What I have installed is R-Bach. What I have observed is that the R-Bach is not powdery rubber feel. 'Feels' more solid and durable. Feel la. The price is double though. 160 for front and back.

I installed mine in SM Motorport in Alam Damai Cheras. Should be nearer to your location. Good service. CHeck them out.

Just to add, maybe you will want to know. I am using stock rim and tyre. Whenever I go through the same spots and holes (before and after this cushion installation), the sound is more like glung glung instead of glong glong. If you know what I mean.

Just came back from Track Day at sepang, didn't manage to clock myself as they didnt provide transponder for the participants. A really good experience for road drivers out there to get to know the car better...

because your springs doesn't get compressed down as much as before you had the buffer installed, hence the much stiffer feeling.

Placebo effect. If it is installed at the rear, you wont feel the slight difference in cornering. Straightline will hv better stability. This is because you are sitting at the front. Now, get your wife to sit at the back and take the same route she complained.
