Why only 3k spring rate can achieve the ride height you want? Titan got no threads on the absorber for body shift?

4K spring they've got for me is specifically being used as for GE8 setup with the length of the spring itself is can be lowered with maximum of 2 finger gab...

While 3k spring I asked them to be use on my ride for the 2nd round setup was not intentionally build for GE8 setup which the spring itself is abit shorter than 4k spring rate that allowed me to adjust the maximum height of half a finger gap...

You accepted shorter springs on a set of absorbers not built around it?

You will be riding on the bump stops all the time then.

Titan coilover do not have body shift that we can easily adjust the softness / hardness ride quality...it's only can be adjusted by re-valve the coil by them...
Simply said its just a Semi adjustable coilover which allow us only to adjust the ride height which is the same with Bilstein B14 PSS Coiover for GE8.

Even no body shift, you can still adjust by lowering the spring seats. The only problem is that if you lower too much of the spring seat, you might not have enough spring extension if the absorber extends fully and cause klanking sounds as you drive.

Opting for shortened springs will make that even worst on top of riding on the bump stops.

I know titan used to make oe dampers which they can control the damping rates through a revalve that has no height adjustment. Unless you have bought that, dun see how u arrived at your situation.

Anyways, body shift doesnt affect the soft hardness of the absorbers. Only the ride height without messing with spring compression.

I tak puas hati for titan is now these jokers ask you to pay close to RM 600 for a set ( 4 batang) for tune up at glenmarie.


That's it lah ***** I had enough. First cannot fulfill my shock demand + my rear is lower than the front since they don't have suitable spring to meet my rear demand + charge me Rm 600 per service.


f*** titan really! I will be getting my F-tuned shocks soon

Roll center adjustment should be the correct way to do that instead of lowering the car too much.

Most people just lower their car and thought that is the best handling setup
Than riding on bump stop all the time laugh.gif
Roll center also never correct back properly,sure got positive camber gain under load laugh.gif

how good is good???

tune with "feel??

do they tune by measure the suspension geometry??

lowered based on owner request is shiat to me. usually a car that lower too much will induce a lots of bump steer.

Quite good, I`m not expert in suspension, not dare judge that they are good or not.
But they meet my requirement, thats all...
I request to be 40mm gab between tyres and fender, and I did mention I will full load my car also.
Stable ride, no bumpy, harsh is okie for me, and they did it rite.

Absolutely better than what I get from speedwork.

Every service just Rm200 for 4, which is quite reasonable, customer service nice too.

I was planning to go to Ftune, but thier price is abit over budget... and not really dare to think about CRS.....

Titan price is still reasonable, but they just give 2 times free tuning, and service are charge RM600 for all.

Anyway, if I have the budget, I`ill still go for Titan or Ftuned.

Unless they only open 2 hours a day. That must be at least 9 hours gone everyday.
