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.

even u change to other brand absorber, maybe not so much different..
its a budget car from point A to point B.. so its reflect from how much it cost bro.. the same size car with twice the price is far more comfortable.. so it is expected not so comfortable to much more expensive car..

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... sweat.gif doh.gif

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.
