there are some silly people who think that by changing the sports springs, they can get both comfort and handling. WRONG!

Comfort and handling do NOT go together. YOu give up one for the other.  When you hear some people say ' wow...my sports springs and shocks are soooo good after changing. Now I get the same comfort like stock springs and shocks and AT THE SAME TIME I get better handling'.

Only fools will dare to say such a thing. Just a reminder again : You will lose a lot of comfort if you change to Eibach or any after market springs that are lower than your car's stock springs. So enjoy the bumpy ride!

the word "sport" says it all
it sacrifice comfort in gain of handling

i'm one who changed stock spring to sport spring...because the stock spring is too soft...so soft that it sags if someone sit behind
did it lowered compared to the stock spring...answer is yes but super minimal
improved handling?...yes, greatly
bumpy?...yes laugh.gif

but 1 thing i don't know is why TS's sport spring is so expensive
the spring should be cheaper than it's absorber
try ask this guy TS(he may have the answer to your solution) : https://forum.lowyat.net/index.php?showtopic=884633&hl=

Because it’s eibach. 1 of the best aftermarket sport springs out there. Stay away from gab. I’ve sit in 1 before, the ride is total shiat. Ftuned, yes you may consider it. Played with out before I got my coilovers. Acceptable ride quality and it’s not pricey
*
my experience toward eibach is cheap
GAB is the one that is expensive laugh.gif
or maybe it was adjustable suspension

and we're talking about spring here...just spring...not adjustable suspension...which is RM1.Xk
what i don't understand is how can spring for "bezza" be so expensive laugh.gif
but it is what is stated in shopee
but i wouldn't recommend it because of it's price
go for something cheaper

Eibach spring prices range from 900 to 1.1k no matter what car. Same like Tein or Tanabe. Vogtland a bit cheaper at around 700-800. These are all branded made in Germany or Japan hence pricey. GAB or Ftuned are locally made now hence cheap.

which is why for me not worth it
the spring prices are similar to higher end car

and it cost more than the absorber price already

for me, not gonna buy spring that cost more than the absorber laugh.gif

Well proper sport absorbers like Koni, Bilstein, Tein, Kayaba SR/Extage are also even more expensive.
*
for me it's all about the car's pricing
if your car is expensive thn no problem in using good expensive parts
but if only bezza...when the spring is few fold of your absorber, it's not worth it anymore

can the car even utilize the potential of that part is also another issue

previously i just use sapura proride's spring and absorber only

How is Proride?

pretty good i would say
but that was back then

nowadays almost no people sell proride already due to "inconsistent quality" they say


QUOTE(injang @ Jul 13 2020, 07:04 PM)
So should i get cheaper spring instead of eibach?
Might consider other cheaper brands such as proride, d2 but dunno which one is worth it

i cannot tell u which to buy actually....because it really depends on your budget
but for me, i'm not gonna spend on a set of springs that are more expensive than the absorber of the car

it maybe good as u can see here but i just can't
but if u got the budget to burn, hey...why not thumbup.gif

and yeah..do not cut the spring
because once u cut the spring, it wouldn't be the same height as your absorber...meaning your spring would be completely useless and your absorber will be taking all the bumps
