[QUOTE="drexchan, post: 724616, member: 6936"] Need some help here... Who has successfully upgraded the absorber to any after market abs, but retaining the OEM spring? I heard that the SEs (the first 10k batch) are using the Waja absorbers, matched with revised spring height. Can anyone confirm this? Currently WiSE users face a problem where.. when after market 1.6/1.8 absorbers are used with the OEM springs. the front height will be too low and the rear height will be too high. This is due to the revised spring height. The front spring is about an inch++ shorter than the normal 1.6/1.8 spring. And the rear ones seems longer. So, when fitted with an after market abs, even short stroke, the front heigh will be still lower.. thus compressing the abs and this will lead to pre-mature failure of the abs.. The rear, in contrast, stretch the abs too much and lead to hardening abs. If it's confirmed that the OEM abs on the SE is the same as Waja 1.6, then i think after market abs for Waja 1.6 should match the springs nicely. Those who have done it.. which brand/model? Ride height? Handling? Please share.. Thanks! p/s: i know changing the springs will solve the problem but have no intention to do that. Just want to replace the spoilt abs with a better after market abs. Thanks! [/QUOTE]
