Always remember the pressure is not 100% accurate and repeatable at all station, best to test out at one of the station that you usually go and determine the right PSI suiting your ride. Mine felt right at 215kpa (31.2 PSI) but when check at the tyre workshop is only 28PSI.

Can you measure the following dimension if there is one suits your Toyota SEG

1. Diameter of Spring Coil
2. Gap between each coil of spring

Adding Damper will helps to absorb the impact from bump better.

Hi Bro,

The spring shape like a long cone.
I measured the center diameter is about 18 inches for front & 16 inches for rear.
The gap between is 2 inches w/o load.

Please help me ask the vendor if he is carrying rubber damper in this size.

Thanks in advance!

Agree bro, feel much better after install the rubber damper.
They work perfect, increasing spring's stiffness thus reduce body roll when making turns especially on the rear.
Thumbs up! smile_thumbup.gif smile_thumbup.gif smile_thumbup.gif

How about the thickness of the spring itself?

The thickness looks slightly thinner than Rex's spring.

Maybe your Koni is a bit harsh, so you will feel harder on speed bump. Koni can be adjusted for its hardness right? Sometimes difficult to achieve best combination because hard suspension improve handling but not as comfort.

You guys are really lucky. I bought mine at RM235 + RM30 installation whereas now it is only RM80+RM20 installation. Less than half of the price doing the same job. hahahaha


Bro,

I am interested in the RD - Where to buy it or install it?

Place your order here, make payment to our Hub Account and collect during Group Lunch on 07 May. On that day itself, those who needed installation can go to our panel workshop together.
