same to stabilizer bar, ultra racing? how much if comes with set, and how many bars can be installed on this ride. and finally rougly how much it cost?
he wanna mod all this because he feel that his car is sampan, he opt for better handling and cornering.
appreaciate ur replies!
EDIT: is monza sport spring good? i saw someone selling for rm350.
Sport springs wont go well with stock absorbers..reason, diff spring rate which results in bumpier ride. Also stock absorbers have longer stroke which is designed for the longer stock springs. Aftermarket springs are shorter so if you want a better ride then its best to go for sports absorber cause they have shorter stroke. GAB's sport absorbers for example comes with the AVCS [auto valve control stability] which means it can be paired with any aftermarket sport springs.
Eibach Pro-Kit sport springs uses progressive spring rates to minimize disturbances to the vehicle's ride quality, they are designed with overall higher than stock spring rates to help control the additional body roll at the limit to maximize improvements in handling. Cost somewhere RM1k for new set.
There are two types of springs, normal spiral springs[Linear Springs] which cost cheaper n offer easy lowering. The best choice is the use of a Progressive Spring, which in addition to lowering also improves the stiffness and handling of the car. A progressive spring will become harder and harder the more it is compressed. This way, it will feel soft on the daily driving road, but give a stiffer handling for the sportier driving. The progressive springs cost a bit more, but in my opinion it's worth the money! (from Fookie)
For Utra Racing bar, you dun have to install all. The most significant will be Anti Roll Bar. Instead of wanting to know all, learn which one you really need and later buy the bar that you only need. Btw, ARB cost about RM450.
Happy modding.
