hello,

looking to replace my D2 adjustable, wanted comfort and stability.

Prefer the conventional absorber type, so don't recommend me anymore adjustable.
I'm not driving fast too. around 150-180km/hr

was told to go for Sachs or performax, then pair it with a sport spring like GAB.

I tried APM performax before, was good on normal road etc but when high way, the whole car seems to be flying.

Budget: RM 1K
Ride: perdana evo3

try asking maddriver if he still sells his servicable shocks.

EDIT: here is another idea... revalve ur D2 to a comfort level of ur choice. try contacting FTuned racing...they should be able to do it.

Maddriver drives a perdana too?

Sorry, what do you mean by revalue the existing adjustable.

Was told that it's already at the softest and each time we are on the normal road.. we are screaming and it's a boat ride.

Adjustable is not for us..

Prefer stock.. Monroe is expensive.. cost Rm240 each, without spring.

I'm actually think of kyb excel g.. basic model and pair it with performax sport spring or gab sport.

maddriver is a forumer here who owns a workshop....one of the products he sells is a serviceable shock abbsorber.

not revalue... revalVe... meaning tear ur adjustable apart... and put in new gas/oil...depending on amount etc, this can affect ur ride comfort. u can actually make ur adjustable super soft.

This product is famous 10-15 years back.. now still got? i last time a user of Monroe Sensatrac, older model before Reflex, yup its a good product.. really comfort with stock spring, if lowered it sacrifice it comfort.. i did put sport spring with it, end up damaged the absorber..

TS, want comfort with 150-180km/h can try Titan Shock absorber, they have adjustable and conventional absorber.. both can be tune to ur refinement.. serviceable too but quite expensive i can say.. can try maddriver shock for cheaper option..

Kyb excel g and pair with a sport spring like performax or gab. Is it a good combination?

Or I should just stick to stock sprint.

titan never comfort, and when they do, they aren't any different than stock absorbers.

stock, or good progressive springs from eibach/H&R (may breach your budget on just springs alone)

Have u using it? I'm as an ex-user of adjustable absorber, what i can say about it its between comfort n good handling..

Its not too bumpy when high speed at highway (180-210km/h) in my wira last time..
Cornering is very good, while road in shah alam got a lot of 'bonggol' and potholes everywhere.. Still it does a good job absorbing it..
The height i set last time with 195/55/15 is 2 finger at front n 1 finger at rear from tyre to fender/body, serve me really well for almost 5 years before it's need to re-service..

Bilstein is good, a little stiff though but price wise will get you to think twice as the cost for a set of b6 shocks alone is comparable to a set of adjustable shocks with spring.

Im using Kyb excel g with my suzuki swift sport stock spring. No good, a bit bouncy compared with my previous monroe absorber.
