Hello Forumer...
I own a 2000 Honda CRV First Generation Last Batch...
I installed a Koni Yellow Sport Suspention paired with H&R Race Spring (RED)

The car was so stable on high speed mostly when I travel KL-IPOH once a week...
Its the sport best suspension setup I've ever own in my life

Now Im driving a 2nd Generation Honda Jazz GE8 CBU with paddle shifter...
On last week of chinese new year I brought the car to TITAN specialist...
The gave me the brief yet most reviewed I read on forums said that its the most comfy adjustable on the market...
So I made a decision of installing them...
Before I proceed to them I told them that I want a setup that are good for conering while theres a comfy side...
I gave the car to them and I was given their persona that equip with their Titan Adjustable and I was suprise how comfy the ride is and the steering feedback while conerning is very impressive...

On the same day I got the car and drove it to home I found that the ride is quite harsh...
I was like oh its ok maybe it the nature of adjustable suspensiom...
On the night I tried the car on MRR2 to cheras and I was like WTF!!! Its very stiff and bouncy like hell...
Even my friend that was with me said its like your shock dont do their job...

Later on next day I went back to them and they installed me their spring 5K on front and 3K on the rear...
I was like oh ok Im fine with the ride feels...
Later on the other day I traveled back to ipoh...

Again I was like WTF!!!
Its still bumpy and bouncy while cruising on the highway...
And the next week after I went back to them and they told me that they will try to soften the shock compression...
I proceed and it was the 2nd tuning and it was the last tuning they gave me as a new buyers you have the ringht to get only 2 times of free tuning...

Suddenly while I was waiting they came to me and said it not possible to soften it further more...
So they sunggest me to come tomorrow morning to get back my oem spring to be install on the rear...as We cannot proceed it on the day as its already 5pm...

So on the next morning I went to them and I left the car to them with my oem rear spring...
At about 4pm...I went back to them and I saw the height of the rear was like WTF!!! It was so hight as same as stock setup...
Before I proceed to transplant the oem spring I was told that they can make the height setup as low as the current setup with thier spring which was 2.5 finger gap...
But once I saw it...I said this wasnt right...
So I told them to installed back their spring and the shock compression is soften to the setup with oem spring...
Still I have to paid them...Suppose I was quoted RM100 for the tuning and I asked them to make it RM50 since I was a customer that didnt met the setup I wanted...

So I paid...

And now Im on Ladang Bikam R&R going back to IPOh reporting you guys that I am in huge dissapointment with the ride quality which still bumpy and harsh...
I paid almost for 3k and yet I drove the car like riding a horse...
I even ride my friend VIVA with a FAKE D2 and still full of comfort I felt on his car...

Guy can you give your opinoin please...
What is wrong with me or their quality that is USED to be THE BEST among of All Brands of ADJUSTABLE on the MARKETS...

BEST REGARDS

Bro...thanks for your concern I believe you are one of titan people...
So far there's no other problem that Im facing right now...
Its just the quality of the ride is being the issue...
The ride is harsh and bumpy
I met with couples of guy who already use Titan and they are all satisfy with the ride quality and I even impress how well their ride setup...
They ride setup with titan adjustable are very smooth on all type of road surface and yet the cornering is also impressive...they get a comfort ride quality with stable on cornering
But when it comes to my car...its bumpy...bouncy..harsh...the only good side did I get is just cornering...even cant get a small comfort feels...
The ride quality is what make me disappointed...
Sometime I keep asking why didnt I get what most people get with their TITAN...
I even have a hard sleep everyday thinking of this...
I kept $$$$ for a long time to get Titan for my car and speed and speed a lot of $$$$ to get these Titan while Im still a student...
I would love to have it retune again but its already on 3rd tuning so I must pay for the next tuning 4th round that will cost me $$$$...
Its not fair if I pay for retune and yet still cant get a better result that most people got...
I just want to eliminate the bumpiness, bounciness and harsh...

I have to clarify this case on behalf of Uncle Richard. I have spoken to Uncle Richard regarding about this issue yesterday. He told me that user Dantei136 came to Titan and insisted a setting which is lowered with firm ride and yet still have the comfortness with full load of passenger on the rear as he use the car to fetch family around.

Herman was the person in charge regarding about this issue. User has been advised to use absorbers only due to the lightweight of the car. User insisted for adjustable because want to look lowered. Uncle Richard tried his best to make the ride as soft as possible and yet doesn't let the suspension to be too soft to avoid bottom's up.

After installation, user complained that the suspension was too harsh and wanted to be soften more. Wailoong came in to the picture and advice him to use stock spring for more comfort as the sport spring couldnt match the softness of the suspension.

After the stock spring installation, the ride height was raised up as you can understand the stock spring is to support the weight of the car and plus titan suspension the ride will go higher. Uncle Richard had tried his best adjust to what he need.

So guys please do comment on this case as I don't want any misunderstand regarding about Titan brand.

Yes bro I did told them that I want coilover setup which is lowered with firm ride and yet still have the comfortness for at least 2 person...
NOT 'FULL LOAD' AND I'VE NEVER MENTIONED FULL LOAD...
Beside I travel IPOH-KL Weekly ALONE...

I've seen and ride most of my friends car with 2 finger gap and 2.5 finger which same as my setup tackling corners around highway without any rub on fender and tyre...and still can feel firm and comfy and most of all not harsh and bumpy
Beside most of them use some full coilover brands such as GAB, HWL, BC RACING, IMP, KYB and Even a FAKE D2 and FAKE MINES brand...

I do respect TITAN brands and I know and still believe that TITAN can do and perform much better than those brand mentioned above...
But what makes you said that you cant maintain the ride height because of rubbing issue between tyres and fender while cornering ?
Even a stock jazz ABS with ONLY TIEN Spring with 2 finger gap of for both front & rear perform well without any rubbing issues as tested around hard cornering in highway...

All I want is just not to feel 'regrets' with my choice TITAN...

Bro I'm not writing this to bash your product or service...
I need some good and useful opinions of all those other Titan User...
Until now I never ever say or think that your product is not good...Yet I'm finding some answer for the solution and solution for my situation...and still hopping that Im not making a wrong decision with this product...
Im just a customer who wants a peace both myself and your product.

Bro I'm not saying that you are bashing the product or services. I'm here to clarify things as I'm represent Uncle Richard regarding about this issue. I'm here to assist you and provide solution because you are unsatisfied with the result of the product.

Regarding about full load issue, I'm not there thats why i cant say anything base on what both party told me. I'm just referring to what uncle told me. And if i'm not mistaken Wailoong or Herman already advised you not to get the adjustable but you insisted want the adjustable thats why they proceed.

FYI, those brand you mentioned above is already factory tuned and it cant be customized unless you take to revalve which will void warranty. The reason why I said cant maintain the ride height is because of stock spring is hard enough to support the car weight and plus our suspension it will make the car even higher. Reason why customer look for our product is our product can be harder than those normal coilover sell outside the market. The solution I've provided you in PM and hope you will understand the concept of how our suspension works.
