100% true this. Thus you need stiffer absorber to reduce the bounciness. The ori toyota abs is too soft to be pair with the coil spring hence it cannot provide enough damping to the car.
I changed my ori to kyb excel g before, but unfortunately excel g is more or less the same with the stock abs, now i changed this to kyb rs ultra, the ride is so much steadier.
But i also heard that Gabriel or gab is also good for avanza.

yeah..i used gabriel prevously and it was good. After the absorber spoil, the seller ran out of stock so I went to gab instead. I must say Gabriel is better as it is stiffer. Gab is a bit soft but still much better than stock absorber.

Avanza is known to be bouncy at the back because of it's usage of leaf spring. If you want to reduce the stiffness, you need to change to stiff absorber.

As for the repairs, I will not spend 6k to repair such and old car because for second hand, you can get this car at around 15k. 5 years down the road, other parts will start to fail, you will end up spending another sum of money.

Another thing about the oil leaks. You do not need to replace everything. Generally mechanics in Malaysia are not powderful enough. They just lazy or do not know where to find the leak so they just ask you to change everything. Actually if they are able to pinpoint the exact leak, they can probably fix it just by maybe changing the oil seal. Also, by changing all the engine parts, what if the leak is somewhere else? You already changed those parts then the mechanic ask you to change another set of parts, you have to pay more!

Sorry for the wrong information. Coil spring it is.
