Hey Guys, I am thinking of changing my car's suspension cause i feel it's kinda hard/stiff/short cause even small bumps i can feel it's harder compare to other cars. The car is fairly new i'd say, less than 2 years, but since the 1st year i already notice it
My question would be, which brand i should look for? Wanna get Comfort type for a compact car Adjustable feature is not so important.

Maybe what u feel is instability. Adding a front strut bar should felt more stable

For small cars like Kancil, Kelisa, Kenari and possibly Axia, u can't expect much Maybe try reduce tyre pressure... Btw, I just sat in my friend's Axia a few days ago. Good to me Don't la compare to Toyota Vios and Merc type of comfort...

Hello TS, maybe you can try Continental CC6 tyres first? I read someone reviewing on the tyre thread that the tyres eat bumps.

TS, just ignored everything. When car get older shock absorbers nitrogen charge will lesser pressure causes softer dampling this time your ride will be more comfortable. New car memang ride very harsh.
