the "F" is a friend of mine...many consider him to be the handling sifu

if I can find a buyer for my tein flex, id go for his street/track suspension
id like u to PROPERLY think abt the bolded parts...REALLY REALLY think about it.

before u even think of pressing the reply button, think REAL HARD about it.

seriously, im not joking...think VERY VERY HARD about it...

I am currently eye-ing on F-tuned coilover, thinking to jump ship from Titan to F-Tuned as Titan does not have soft hard setting, and rear spring adjustment. (Suzuki Swift)

I think Titan is not as good as last time when Richard himself taking care of his customers. Price jacked up high and workmanship quality is so so... I was being quoted for RM600 just for a pair of rear spring without height adjuster, reasonable price? hmm...

Titan claimed that their coilover are better and more comfort than other like Bilstein... HKS... etc..etc.. I just could not agree on this, I have tried on friend's HKS coilover and found out it is much more comfortable than Titan, and much more firm on handling uneven roads.

seriously , before you going for these custom made stuff, be ready for some minor issue and need to go back if anything.
if you don't wan those thing yet wan better performance, spend more to get some off the shelf product like bilstein, koni

People have misunderstanding that Titan can provide them a product that is hassle-free just like off the shelf, I was wrong, have to go back so many times.

hmm.gif  Funny I didn't come across this thread earlier.. must have missed it then.

I've been using Titan for over 3 years now....  and I would never recommend it to anyone else who wants a comfortable ride.

Since this was my first adjustable, I always thought it was like that (super hard and harsh) by default.
But actually I think the design is just bad....  I also lost count the numbers of time I went back and no matter how hard they try... it's always very bumpy and uncomfortable. Not to mention everytime you go there, need to camp there like the whole day... really waste of time.

The settings they do seems to be only good for few weeks at most... after that it seems to slowly deteriorate, becoming harsher and harsher... after a few months it feels like you don't have shocks anymore.

IMHO.. avoid Titan... go for other brands.

What is your ride? my guess is small and light car.

EDIT: That's why they ask you go back service every year biggrin.gif

Yup.. small and light.... old 2.0L Civic... kerb weight about 1.4 tonne only... we me and all the junk inside.. probably 1600 kg only.  laugh.gif  In comparison with a 6.0L Maybach at 2800 kg... mine is small and light.

If can last one year at least not bad... this one max is 2 months before become un-bearable.

my light and small cars are referring to swift.. myvi... jazz... those less than 1200kg.... if your case also cannot then i =X liao biggrin.gif

then it defeats the purpose aint it?

per shock ( rear or front doesn't matter ) is rm 150. If I do 25k KM ( which is their interval and the mileage I hit in 8 month), that's about RM 600 bucks every 8 month.

The service charge from rm 100 become 150 - I understand cost of material oil etc will shoot up but they should make it more reliable and less service required.

However the above is not a prob for me but the comfort..really beh tahan the rear especially. and they only got that size of spring...cant increase my car height ( 1.5 finger gap) and they cant do anything else ( Abs / Shock is mounted separately hence the spring requirement for that height

600 per year is a problem for me, is not a wise option given the result to me so I ditch it for HKS, never look back smile.gif

Now they have the rear spring with the adjuster, but you need to top up 700 for that S_ _ T, go beli now please biggrin.gif
