questions on suspension Wira 1.5M

[daremo]

Hi bros,
awhile back, i asked about decreasing body roll of my yr2005 wira 1.5M sedan by planning to add ARB, etc... many sifu in that thread advised me to check into my existing suspension system instead. and just few days ago, when going over road bumps, i start to hear sounds at the rear of my car (you guys got 6th sense or what???) the sound is heard when i press down the rear or my car with my body weight. sound is dull-low frequency, like metal flexing sound. dunno how to describe properly la. so i think my suspension (esp rear) gone/going liao. if remember correctly my other car also absorbers gone-case at around the same year.

so what should i look for, for my car? my criteria is to get better handling and less body roll (especially body roll!). but i cannot sacrifice ride comfort entirely coz need to carry loved ones, so maybe you guys can share your setup which improved handling but not too uncomfortable? coz i live in Melaka, the roads are less than desirable =_="

perhaps i should consider "rally" style suspension for my wira? haha... but cruise highway speeds safe or not? looks cool though when you have a "tall" wira ^_~

please advise things like, springs type, sizes, absorbers, and if possible price to expect and maybe if someone knows shops in Melaka or Seremban also no problem. Thanks!

i hav changed my ori absorbers n springs of my 1.5 wira to 1.6 sport absorber n sport spring. wat i can tel is da ride comfort gone edi although i tried my best 2 make it not tat bumpy.

u can try put in ori 1.6 shocks n spring which wil b a lil harder 2 let u obtain better handlin but ur car might look higher. remember, hard doesn't mean gud in handlin.

everyone have their own defination of "hard" and "comfort"....
if u wan somethin not so hard...
try full set performax (abs & sport spring) 1.6/1.8 specs....
tired on my fren's wira around 2yrs back (2finger between tires n fender).....
considered comfortable to me.....

if u dun mind halfcut items....
can try evo full set abs paired with sport springs (2finger between tires n fender)....
used it as my 1st sets of abs....
sport spring using those from halfcut....
if wan somethin slightly harder...
go for evo6 front abs + kyb newSR rear pair with same halfcut sport spring as well (but front need to cut)....

just some of my past setup.....
suspension is somethin u need to R&D urself....
as everyone hav diff expectations.....
happy modding....
