jeff : yup da guy using 17' rim..if im not wrong abt 1'/1.5 infront & 2' for rear but he used GAB absober..he said spring Tein too soft & not suitable with GAB absober..now it cause his absober leaking after installed it abt 5 month ago..

why Tein? itzit bcoz da brand you wanna buy it?

owh.currently i'm using eibach spring pair with improve propex abs.that guy use gab short stroke rite?

why tein?1 reason is becoz it is a reputable brand & 1 of my friend using it on his vivi.kinda interested with the look on his car but currrently he is on 16' rim.even eibach does provide me the comfortable with the ride but i think it is still not that lowered.thats why i plan to try to use tein...

if i got a lot money,for sure i'll go for adjustable but since i'm a student & without a job so the best that i could afford is lowered spring.

nway,if a spring is soft what type of abs that are suitable?thanx bro for the info...

if spring Tein u can mix with Tein absober dats was a suitable bcoz it a same brand..

hurm,hye guys..



i really need some suggestion aite now..
i just changed my rims to 17" n currently i'm using the 205/40/17 tyre..

hahahha...using gab spring like riding unta meh?

no la bro...

i've used it 4 months until end of last month..
cannot use it anymore..
the tires touch my fender like touch my heart also...huhu...
its bcuz of rim's offside..aiiyaa..heheh
lot of us using that type of spring...dun confuse..
gab ok maa....

rees:: buy rim 1st, then go for spring..
remember dear, bring somebody who expert about it when u
wanna buy rim/spring...dun simply buy..

hehehe....sometimes...nice to ur eyes, but not sooo nice for ur heart..

wakakakakkaka....

slup-ee: dun wurry.... GAB ok... im using GAB right now.... try GAB first.. if not satisfied then if got xtra money then u can go some other brand... some people even using the xpensive one even not satisfied... u got what i mean??? it is very subjective that only u know what level of satisfaction for ur ride..

rees: (2): spring only changing the height of ur car, normally no prob with the sport spring.... for rim 16" tyre 45 is normal for myvi to get clearance between tyre and side body of ur car.... the main part is the offset of rim 16" is +40.

im wanna answer question no. 1..
(Q) who's the owner of this site.
(A) We are...

Thanks to bro edz & shamiin22:

And the offset information that u two provided is usefull. Thanks again.
If im not mistaken, (after reading the offset information), the OFFSET is what we called, "jarak antara tyre and body, dua jari or tiga jari" rite?

Thanks!

rees: Nop. The offset of a wheel is the distance from its hub mounting surface to the centerline of the wheel. The offset can be one of three types (measured in millimeters).*

Zero Offset
The hub mounting surface is even with the centerline of the wheel.

Positive
The hub mounting surface is toward the front or wheel side of the wheel. Positive offset wheels are generally found on front wheel drive cars and newer rear drive cars.

Negative
The hub mounting surface is toward the back or brake side of the wheels centerline. "Deep dish" wheels are typically a negative offset.

Oppss.. ''saya budah baru belajar''
