Improving Suspension

By -
ADJUSTING HANDLING CHARACTERISTICS
Tuning your suspension for sports driving means sacrificing some of the comfort for speed. As long as the car is on a flat surface like that of a racing circuit, the lower the body is to the ground, the lower the center of gravity will be, and the more stable its behavior. Harder suspension makes for less wasted movement during acceleration, deceleration and turning, which keeps the handling sharp. However, if the suspension doesn't move at all, the car will not be able to deal effectively with load transfer, and drivability will be extremely poor. The best solution is to make the suspension harder while also bearing in mind the degree to which weight will need to shift in all four directions. Depending on your vehicle and the surface you are driving on, you may sometimes need to make the suspension softer in order to improve grip.

SHOCK-ABSORBERS
The objective of upgrading shock absorbers is to provide higher damping force than the standard absorber which focuses on ride comfort. By doing so they can maintain stability of the car's behavior even at high speeds when they are under large loads, and its controllability will be improved. Replacement and tuning shock absorbers should normally be performed at the same time as the springs.

SPRINGS
The springs improve handling be helping achieve a low center of gravity, and are also essential in maintaining stability by counteracting roll when cornering, nose dive when braking, and squatting when taking off from a standstill and accelerating.
HEIGHT-ADJUSTABLE SUSPENSION
The main type of height-adjustable suspension allows ride height to be adjusted by using shock absorbers that can increase or decrease spring length, as well as allowing the damping force to be adjusted. This allows it to be adjusted precisely to suit any situation. There are several different methods for adjusting ride height, including adjustable screws, C-rings and the use of brackets.
ANTI-SWAY BARS
Stiffening the anti-sway bars can help to reduce roll even more during cornering. If the front sway bar is stronger, understeer is increased, and if the rear anit-sway bar is stronger, oversteer is increased.

As you can see, improving suspension is not just about change low spring. There are many other factors that affect the way suspension works. Do consider all these factors and the application of your vehicle whether your ride is for daily driving, sport driving or racing use.

Based on my own experience, I would recommend the following:

Pure comfort leisure driving light weight vehicle: Oil type Absorber with OEM Spring

Comfort leisure driving saloon vehicle: Gas type Absorber with OEM Spring

Spirited driving style with average speed of 80-120km/h: Short Stroke Gas Absorber with Sport Spring

Race purpose (Drag) : Hi Lo Adjustable Suspension System

Race purpose (Circuit, Drift, Track) : Fully Adjustable Suspension System

But of course those are just my opinion base on my own experience. It's your ride, so the final decision will be your own! Happy MODDING! hehe..
