My friend, Joshua, has been looking for suitable absorbers to replace his stock OEM absorbers on his Proton Wira 1.3 EFI. He has been scouting for weeks, until we both had time to meet up on the same day to survey for absorbers. We initially headed out out to Kakimotor to search for available absorbers. There were many brands, such as GAB, Zerone, Tein, Koni, Eibach, Improve and HWL. However, judging on his money limitation and his preference for comfort rather than stiffness, we decided to take the HWL adjustables.
I've sat on two cars with HWL adjustables. One being the Kakimotor Sunway manager's car, it was comfortable and didn't felt all that bad. The other one was in Azuri's car, which I assume its set to the stiffest. So I guess, it isn't all that bad, that Joshua paid a cheap but undisclosable amount for the absorbers. I guess its not too bad, considering its for long term usage and its serviceable, where not all absorbers could be serviced.
After installing everything within 45 minutes or less, we decided to take a spin. Joshua was satisfied with the outcome, it wasn't too stiff and the absorbers were good enough, that he says was not as floaty as before, which I guess, helps him in cornering. Now all he needs is alignment and cambering to perfect his absorber systems. Well, I hope he will be satisfied then and probably starts to mod his virgin car.
