According to Yau, ur ride will be lowered a bit...due to shorter piston length...

Just changed the absorbers yesterday at Yew Exhaust. Here's my FR:
I matched my absorbers with Tanabe Sustec NF210 Lowered Sport Springs, so my review may derive slightly from bros who are using these absorbers on stock springs.
Hardness on City/Highway: 5~10% Harder
Hardness on Town/Uneven Roads: 15~25% Harder
Hardness on Kampung/Bad Condition Roads: 35~40% Harder
Stability on City/Highway: 50% Better
Stabilty on Town/Uneven Roads: 30% Better
Stability on Kampung/Bad Condition Roads: Never Tried Laughing

As said by bro Takeshi before, the body slide happens no more when going at a corner. But my FR is based on my ride which should be heavier and lower than most of the FD's out there. (Too much ICE Sad

) To me, the comfort loss was negliable on city and town drive. The loss was only noticable when I went through kampung roads and trunk roads.

Conclusion is that it's a good trade off to lose a little comfort and gain that much more stability. Cant complain bout the price either Laughing

ps: Bro D'XEROZ can give some review also as he was in the car with me during "testing" Cool

Just change to GAB SA abs last weekend, coupled with U/Racing rear ARB 16mm & Fr Strut Bar at Yew Exhaust. Good overall improvement on the handling..Cruise steadily at 170-180km/h at LPT. In term of comfort..just like bro takeshi earlier said..feel a bit like riding horse but it only happens when on high speed. Still comfortable if cruising at speed limit.
Initially just want to replace only rear absorber with the ori one but it will cost rm640.00 at Honda SC. So opt to GAB SA full set.
