Lowering springs with stock shock absorbers

[Donbarrios]

---

Masters,

ask lang ko kung asa pwede mag pa putol og shocks? kanang barato ra pero nindot ang serbisyo..untol man gud drive ko tungod sa lowering springs and stock shocks.. naa moy ma recommend na maayo na shop?

sakto ba? kanang i-putol ang shaft ka shocks ug pa thread? para atleast murag stock gihapon ang dagan?

nga pala, i've been reading from the net, if they lower their car with lowering springs, they would pair it with gas shocks..

just recently, i bought a pair of front shock absorbers (gas type).. do i still need to cut the shaft of my shocks to prevent bottoming? or hndi na?

sir, ug lowering spring imo g taod bsan imo na paputlan ang shafting sa shock absorber dli ghapon na mabalik sa stock nga g humokon...
ang lowering springs g design man gud na for better handling sa corners nya to keep your ride low... stiffer jud na sya pra sd dli mo sayad imo ligid sa wheel tub...

if hndi ko na mabalik sa soft ride ang car dahil sa lowering springs, can i at least do something to help prevent my shocks to be broken again? guba naman gud front shocks ko, mao na ni palit nlng ko kyb gas shocks.. kailangan ko pa ba ipa putol ang shaft sa kyb gas shocks ko to prevent bottoming out? or hndi na?
TIA

how much ang part ng shaft na ng protrude sa taas kung nka plastada na ang spring? how many inch sir? basin pwde lng ma lagyan ng spacer sa taas before ang nut...
pwde lng ang ganitong remedy kng hindi masyadong mataas ang excess na shaft, at hindi tatama sa hood...

hndi ko na observe ng maigi.. pero i think around 2"-ish.. mababa kasi talaga ung drop ng lowering springs ko, i think around 2.3" or 2.5" ung drop.. if dumadaan ako sa mga libaong, sometimes nag bobottom out ako.. pero hndi nmn lagi coz most of the time ako lang magisa, sometimes, kasama ko lang wife ko.. max 4 people lang makakaupo sa loob ng kotse..

why gas shocks man nimo sir? as front spring na? as what i've know mas humok man ang fluid type na shocks.. which is really design for front....

[Donbarrios]

up for today......

@weblizzer, yes, sa front suspension na.. according sa nabasa ko, kelangan daw ipair ng g shocks if ipa lower ang car, para daw dli maguba ang shocks.. but i still need more feedbacks from the masters..

Shocks don't matter, it's your springs that will cause your car to bottom out. Shocks will fail if you operate them out of factory / manufacturer specs (lowering your car with shocks built for factory height cars).
