 ADJUSTABLE SHOCK ABSORBERS

badaveil's 2003 Kia Spectra

Expensive long term investment and boy does the car handle better especially when throwing the car into a corner without braking. Suspension height was originally reduced by 5cm (fantastic cornering here) but later re-adjusted to 4cm after scraping one to many humps. If I did not reduce the suspension height, I would expect better comfort than now though probably firmer than the originals. However, I'm sacrificing a wee bit of comfort for better traction, still, the feel's not that bad below 80kph and most appreciated pass 90kph. The 4 cm reduction in height also means that it is not practical because entry/exit rams to parking bays at many buildings  in Malaysia tend to be steep causing the front spolier to scrape the floor. The commerical office/business complex where my office is located is one of them so that gives me further reason not to install the body-kit.

A very clean ride I must say. I am thoroughly impressed with the quality of the car and how it stand out from the rest. The exterior is award winning and the suspension screams to be tested. I tip my hat to you. Ultra Racing bars have not been available to Kia before, how did you end up getting them so quickly?
