Hi sifus2, been browsing for adjustable suspension for my ride recently, came across with HWL brand series of ST1 and MT1BS.
besides ST1 (15 steps) vs MT1BS (24 steps), is there any other differences between these 2 series in terms of long lasting/QC or build materials etc?

spring rate? bound rebound rate? preload ?
step vs step is not important anyway

The MT1BS spring rate front is 6k / back is 4k
the other one ST1 still finding

btw for myvi ride is it best front 5k and back 3k overall comfort?

Damping wise, unsure.
Difference is the steps.
HWL problem is rear need to cut the rear bumpstop.
So beware. If not you will hit the bumpstop too early and feel bumpy.

I find the ST1 lightly firm but with my driving style, I can easily bottom it out.  laugh.gif

My friend was using ST1, even after I help setup still bumpy at the rear.
In the end change to Ftuned CLS + Proride sports absorber.
