All these car enthusiasts, why are you harassing everyone, your own is to give advise and leave the person to take or leave it. If you advise me and make me feel like an idiot in the process, by instinct I will fight you back.
So please politely make your position known and don't totally close your ears to what people that have used it say. Amazingly you might have one or two things to learn

The problem we all have is that we listen to reply rather than listen to understand the other.

From the discussions so far, impression I'm having (though I might be wrong) is that most of these "diasporans" feel once you reside in Nigeria you are ignorant, that is far from the truth, you really don't know who we all are. We may be in Nigeria, but who we really are might dwarf you that either earn to feed her majesty or 401k.

LeJeun3:

Mr. Struts, keep strutting around....

LeJeun3:







Enjoy urself people.....

Truth is when the problems start on your car you won't be honest enough to come here and say. You would prefer to keep quiet and let it continue.

EgunMogaji:


There's only one fool here. It's the one that really paid to buy something that'll ruin his car

How about some pink tassles for the rear window?

I've decided to ignore you now and let you continue to wallow in your ignorance.

Adios, les incompetente

davo3286:


If I ruin my car a million times its my business not yours. busy body!

erico2k2:

You need to bow ur head in shame if you check this product it's from the diaspora. Not made in Nigeria. Almost all of us abroad have families in Nigeria so what's your point?
The worst thing you can do when you are in any spot is DO NOTHING.

EgunMogaji:


So instead of changing shocks ONLY, you'll risk cracking your shock towers too. Amazing.

Now I understand why everyone is pushing me away from Nigeria used cars

davo3286:
And how is that your business?

davo3286:


Show us evidence of cracked shock tower as a result of this product else keep shut and mind your fvcking business.

EgunMogaji:


You keep saying to keep my mouth shut. Newsflash, it's never going to happen, I'm on you like 5 & 6.

I'm not selling the product so it's not my job to prove anything beyond reasonable assumption based on years as an autoist.

It is the job of the seller/manufacturer to provide proof of the lengthy r&d that was performed as well as independent testing by a lab.

I know your faculty is limited to the development afforded by your environment but be receptive to gaining improvement and stop being a close minded Neanderthal.

davo3286:


Autoist my asss.

Siena:


The moment you posted in a public forum, it became everyone's business. If you want to keep details of how you bolted rubbish to your car private, use a diary, not a discussion board!

EgunMogaji:


Yep, Autoist

Some suggested reading for you

davo3286:


I think you need it more.

davo3286:


I will keep telling you to keep your dirty, smelly mouth shut because your argument does not hold water...you have not the slightest idea of what you're saying.

erico2k2:

Oga once again stop spreading this rubber news, restrict it to Nigerians who do not have the benefit of choice No thanks to the likes of you.
I and Siena live in the UK. U can never ever use that crap in the UK or you fail MOT straight away EgunMogaji lives in America and he has said same.so tjat leaves Asia and Africa. The step 4 ward in suspension technology are Air suspensions like you got on the range rover and the now new and more advanced electronic stability system. .These are what the FI cars have.

If it's not ok, why is amazon.com, an American online shop, selling it? Abegi. .

davo3286:


Yes, I agree with you - anything posted on public forum becomes everyone's business. But telling me that I bolted rubbish to my car shows that you weren't listening or you don't understand it. [b]How is it bolted? Bolted to what?? Do you even understand what 'BOLTED' means [/b]I guess not. You call it rubbish and yes I love the rubbish. So what's your problem with that?

I would like to believe you're not dense, and you possess at the very least above-average intelligence. Bolt-on does NOT necessarily refer to a physical bolt. It refers to an add-on. This could be an extra service your mobile phone service provider has as an option to your regular call service on your phone - SMS, data are bolt-ons.

For one who claims to understand how the suspension in an automobile works, you surprise me.

Use the 'net to find out how an automobile works, and search for bolt-ons.



Why am I even bothering? I have no issue helping people to understand their automobile better, as long as they are interested. There is nothing wrong admitting there are areas you're not clear on. Just ask!

I'm not a doctor, or an architect, so I too will ask questions of those who are qualified in those disciplines, rather than let an over-sized ego get in the way, and argue blindly.

Siena:
One key factor is not being addressed here, or rather it is being ignored.

What is the impact of reducing spring travel relative to a matched-length hydraulic / gas filled damper (which still has the stock length ram)?

We know the spring travel reduction WILL increase the ride height. But...the damper will now be working with limited travel. Please explain what effect this has on how the suspension of an automobile now behaves, taking into account the points I mentioned.

EgunMogaji:


Of course you'll prolong the life of your shocks if you remove them from the equation and stop them from doing their job

This is like covering your roof with nylon and beating your chest that rain has never touched your roof.

EgunMogaji:
The shocks have been removed from the equation as they wont be performing effective dampening.

I installed lowering springs on a Trans Am I had once while waiting for the matched shocks to arrive.

The stock shocks were blown out in less than 500 miles.

Divinne:
Some people here amaze me. My people perish because of lack of knowledge. It is obvious that you do not understand the technology behind the product. I wonder how you passed exams and made it through school. An advert was posted online and you, just like millions of others see it. Interested people are supposed the search and enquire more about the product then reach the contact.

I want to believe that you searched further and all you understand is that ur 60k shock absorber will do better an so the product is crap and dangerous. My own understanding is that this product is attached to the coil spring and not the shock absorber. A coil spring, also known as a helical spring, is a mechanical device which is typically used to store energy and subsequently release it, to absorb shock, or to maintain a force between contacting surfaces. They are made of an elastic material formed into the shape of a helix which returns to its natural length when unloaded.

It is a part of the suspension that dampens the impact that goes to the shocks, it handles vehicle height, weight and dropping when carrying load. It manages vibration, stability and cornering on sharp turns etc. The name of the product is coil spring/shock absorber cushion buffer, it is attached to the coil spring to reduce to standard vibration, noise, body roll when cornering. It is an accessory that adds extra value to an already existing coil spring to ease the shocks stress, it strengths weak coil springs, it reduces braking distance and enhance handling. it cushions the landing force on the wheel thereby increasing tire and suspension components life. Even a brand new cars with brand new shocks will still feel different with this product.

Mind you, the coil spring as one of the first suspension systems still remains the best suspension for Bad roads. Thank you.


YOUR QUESTIONS?

EgunMogaji:


I told them earlier.

Divinne:


Pls google!! shock absorber cushion buffer, go through the result and video then come back to me if you have further questions.

EgunMogaji:


Trust me on these two following comments:

1) Some of us don't rely on Google for automotive education. I have been playing with cars, building cars, etc well before the advent of Google.

2) There's nothing I need to know that I will be learning from you.

Good day.

PS: Attached is just one of the cars that I restored from scratch (every single nut, bolt and screw was changed) that is featured on an international British magazine.

Everything stripped down to the last part, even the carburators were torn apart, wheel bushings, conversion from front drums to discs, all new electrical wiring harness, etc a full restore before it can ever get into this magazine.

Don't ever assume that you can teach me anything automotive.
