Trial and Error

The next step. Was lowering the car. I couldn't stand the wheel gap. Look at it. The back is lifted up so high, you can see its undercarriage from normal eye level. There was a four. FOUR finger gap at the back wheel. Even my ex doesn't have a four finger gap. Geddit?

The stock suspension is comfortable, but i think it was too soft, the body roll on those stock springs are fucking ridiculous! Its like riding on a boat, wait no, like riding a fucking dinghy. Rolls left and right at every turn.

So i got these springs, it was recommended by a fellow member. These Eibach sport springs are quite famous and quite a number of other members were using it as well, I picked it up for rm800,

After installing the springs, the wheel gap dropped significantly, the front was a 1 1/2 finger gap, while the back is a two finger gap. She had a two finger rule btw.

It was low, but not low enough,but at the time it was good enough. Adjustable suspension was out of my budget. But the springs will do. So after changing the springs, the changes are very noticeable.

Ride was harder, every bump and dip on the road can be felt up the ass! More ever that was the only negative. On the positive side, the body roll has lessen, and because the car is much lower to the ground, less air is going under the car thus making the car accelerate better and also improves fuel consumption.

So at the time, the springs was enough. Till i get the budget i have, i'll switch to full adjustable suspensions.
