ssmann,

Are you saying I should increase the stance slightly higher at the back ? Does putting the strut brace in the engine bay like form Ultra Racing will make it better?

Bro, ride height is really a personal choice and so is the use of chasis and ride strengthening aids e.g. strut bars, thicker arb etc. From my personal perspective and experience, the use of strut bar which is not strong enough can lead to a poor driving feel, eg slight vibration in steering, poor suspension performance etc. The use of thicker arb's will assist in ride handling, but at a compromise of a harsher ride due to lesser flex in the body....very very firm. Some love it and some hate it. So it all depends on what YOU personally enjoy and are comfortable with.

On ride height, when the car is used on the street and as a daily drive, it is advisable to have min ground clearance and a sufficient base for play especially in the front. The rear is less important and thus can be lower. However you would like to balance the profile of the car i.e. front and rear drop are equal.

Again, these are my personal opinions based on trial and error, spending loads of money testing different set ups largely due to listening to poor advise. In my experience, YOU must understand if you are after looks or performance. If looks, do whatever you like to make it look good at a compromise of handling, unless you spend super huge bucks on tuned systems. If performance, then there will be a sacrifice on looks, albeit not at all bad.

My 2 kupangs.

Bro, is your E38 running on EDC? If yes, my advise is to maintain the EDC setup. I have had many nice rides on Digital Punk EDC equipped E38. The ride and performance is magical.

I also have another friend whose E38 740iL 4.4 with EDC and his suspension also behaves like what you have described. He bought a second hand set but later found out that the original absorber (wires) actually shorted due to broken insulation. Rectified that broken insulation and the car rides nice & good again.

You may want to check that area first. If you still need a set, let me know and I will try to talk him into selling his extra set.

hi bro, my suspension gt wire ontop, in my car it has PDC, SEDC n ASC button. btw bro how we knw that it is functioning?

it will automaticaly turn on when we start our car or nd to manually press the button?


sorry bro for the noob question. hehehe

 

[ryucky81]

any idea whether is my spring koyak liao? if change spring boleh kah?

The SEDC usually last a long long time. Is the absorbers leaking? Do you see oil patches on the absorbers? Don't think your springs are at fault. You probably need to get a good mechanic to check your wiring to absorbers.
