Lowered, better handling, stable..but definitely compromise on comfort a bit.. ... Those bouncing suspensions total opposite lah..

Yeah, Im using this stiffener... Wat's the purpose of the stiffener?..As the name suggest, to further stiffen the springs?..Won't it make the ride more uncomfortable?..And will it lessen the lowering?.. Bonzz, u tink if I use the Apex springs can achieve same degree of lowering like on ur ride?..Coz urs quite obvious..

hope these helps: ...i think can get cheaper at TRC, me going there to install rear ARB next week. ;D (acam gi sama2?) Reading the article, the stiffeners can help prolong shocks..but it also increase the height..But I want my ride to hav lowered look leh.. ....Went to view the car tat is still on the Apex springs..the lowering don't seem so noticeable but the bro is on 16" rims..So, I cannot visualize how it would look on my ride which is on 17".. Anyone currently on Apex springs can comment?..

Bonzz, u tink if I use the Apex springs can achieve same degree of lowering like on ur ride?..Coz urs quite obvious.. The stiffeners reduce or cushions the bumpiness.. Actually its called bump stop.. Just like polyurethane motor mounts.. So, when u go over potholes, flyovers(that really flies!!), the "bumping" effect is not that great as compared to without.. As for the increase in height, I'd say its not that great...

Bonz, u on wat springs?..H&R?..Coz ur ride looks really low man..furthermore, no BK...I like..
