OK updates.
Changed the absorbers sometime last week, ori.
Upon installation, my mechanic said that the absorbers are meant for Berlingo....still can be used, no problem, just that it is running on gas (instead of oil).
However, I find that the ride didn't improve much when it comes to comfort. Going over speed bumps is nice. But driving over rough roads, ripples, holes, etc is hard and harsh. I was expecting it to be soft or lumpy and plush over these road conditions. Pretty dissapointed. However, handling is good.
Just wondering, what's the proper tyre pressure should i go for? normally i pump 215 front, and 210 rear.

I know the best choice for my ZX would be an original absorbers.
But let's say that I do not have a choice and have to choose either Record and SACH, which would be the better option.
** have to wait for the original absorbers to arrive. Don't know how long i have to wait as the absorbers i'm using on my car is gone. Very unstable when traveling on the highway. Need to change them ASAP.
So, Record or SACH?
Record is cheap, about RM4xx a set (front and rear), whereas SACH oil is about RM8xx (front and rear).
