Hi Folks,

Is spring bumper retainer useful?

I saw in the autobacs adv saying it will help maintain the life of the absorber. :smile:

I got my rear spring with TCM..... Change to a new improve version so call. Much better than old spring.. It's free if it under warranty.

My Latio is already out of warranty when I converted it.
I converted it not b'cos of cost savings (fork out $4k upfront) but due to
curiosity and interest to know how the system work.

If u have the CNG it advisable to put the spring retarner....cause it help the absorber from worn out.

The new spring is a bit higher but with the 205/50/r16 tyre i think it comfy abitlah...... without the new spring with the tyre i have, the ride is very sercure and i feel the grip when connering but now not much of that feeling anymore unless the ride is in full load condition.

Maybe u can get aftermart spring coil or get from TCM, It abt. $150 per piece or pair.....Have to check with TCM. With the new spring i don't hit any curb any more.....feeling good... :thumbsup:

The Momo steering wheel does not blend well with the Latio Premium interior.

Why remove the orig steering wheel and forgo the air bag?

Agreed with you on the stiffer/firmer ride and no more hit-curb/hump with full-load .... with my ride close to 3yrs, now front-spring seems a bit too soft (*diving feeling) over hump, so is there a stiffer front spring or i just need to get it replaced with original spring ??
