Anyone here can suggest aftermarket spring that almost same comfort as stock but provide btter handling...i didnt care much about car height..as long as it comfort and handle better, then should be good..

Jalan Dengkil Banting, next to posofiz, adjacent to masjid. H&K is the name, next to used car LS Gan Enterprise.

Spring is always the last resolution in my car mods dictionary. I dunno huai the entire mod industry all kinda funny philosophy came up, huat progressib spling lar, spork spling lar, macam² ada. In the end the car bounce like apollo 13  wanna fly to moon lidet doh.gif

If you're really NOT looking for looks, just wanna slightly reduce the bounce rate so you can cup konar with less roll, for ganjil kinda soft spling put spling buffer enuf jor. The ride still comfy and u will feel imprubmen. Berry cheap and affordable DIY mod.

If you don't mind harder mod, then send the dampers for injection. Reoil the dampers with higher viscosity oil. This, doesn't make your car bounce like 0 gravity. It slower down the dampening rate. You'll feel more sensation from the road feedback. You'll feel the car slightly harsher, but not to the extend every speed bump you'll have to brake until white smoke come out baru can clear. Reason being, better oil inside the damper only help to SLOW DOWN the suspension movement. Whereas, harder spring doesn't, it increase the bounce rate.

Last, if those are not what you're looking for. Tyre is the next best thing to go. Most of the time when people are complaining bad handling on stock form(given Ganjil already got a huge ass front anti roll bar), other than suspension will compress, tyre is the thing that affect handling the most. Choose those sporty K tyres. I personally use Achilles ATR K-Sport 165/55R14 72V. Extremely sticky and grounded(wet traction kinda suck though)

Actually my car currently using adjustable sspension...last time running on weekend only..no problem...but now i plan to use it everyday..commute to workplace..thats y i plan to make it comfort again but at the same time better hndling than stock suspension..

I did try armedues spring last time..very good in term of comfort and handling...ride height slightly lower..but now that supplier didnt bring anymore for kancil...
Thats y i try to find good spring here...for abs..maybe i will use proride...but i know the proride spring is not comfort because friend of mine using it...

don't bother until klac slip or unable to engage klac whistling.gif Usually after "checked", den drisab cover bocor, den drisab bearing koyaked, den gebox got vibration =_= Especially the passenger side, stuff is like made of tofu, cincai touch abit will rosaked 1. Never bother to inspect never had problem, once checking done, meaning wallet also dry jor. Might as well wait until kenot use baru "check" and repair shakehead.gif

wah i really very long didnt check in here at slk v4
good to see it is still active but slow.... sweat.gif

If u ask me change to tebo l6 or l7 not much difference maybe spare part price or availability.
Changing to a tebo halfcut really depend on ur luck.
some ppl 10 years car no problem.
some ppl 1 month tebo kong.

My advice if can change to Kelisa 1.0 NA la or better yet Viva 1.0 NA or even better Axia 1.0 NA.Ā  drool.gif
less headache....hehe!

Na xde kachinggg...haha

guys, if kancil accident, dont wanna repair so decide to sell it as spare part. How much should be the price?
accident involve only front side area (bonet,bfender, chassis already bent, front bumper broken)

btw...kancil is year 1998 with l2 engine..no serious damage on engine.
