I still maintain that you are a dullard.

LeJeun3:



Oga, all ur references are in 2010. Why are you selling it to us in 2016 na??

If this ur product was still relevant and honest, why isn't there any current reference.


P.S. I checked for recent references.

Divinne:



Siena, learn from other peoples experience. I am not here to convince you but to introduce a product that saves suspension components on bad roads. The threads are many, give it up cos you have failed.

I just installed car coil buffer
Hi Last week i installed car coil buffer in my Hyundai Eon and really it makes difference. Dhad-Dhad has been reduced and i was using CNG so it increased height also.

EgunMogaji:


Nope, he hasn't failed.

You continue to provide comical relief as you defend this hack of an unsafe device.

It is a shame that a wanna be UK auto celebrity does not have a clue on coil spring assisters/cushion buffers and the benefits. Shamefully contact your UK based manufacturer of coil spring assisters for education. www.springassisters.com they have been manufacturing and distributing this product all over the UK for over 10 years. Ewu Kabia!!

Don't act like you're thicker than you already come across.

In the beginning of this thread, I DID mention these assisters are used on the rear of vehicles for TOWING. At the rear, my man. I know all about springassistersuk. You are marketing these products as a permanent solution to reduce suspension travel ALL ROUND. Which is not the purpose they were designed for. They are NOT a solution for worn dampers, or sagging springs.

I have not seen these for years, mainly because there are real heavy duty springs with matched dampers. You can't alter the length of a spring, and expect the damper (which is longer) to work.

Another thing...check on VOSA's website. Vehicles WILL fail an MOT if they are presented for testing with ANY restrictors between the coil springs that were not on the car when it left the factory, simple. Quit acting like a morön.

Siena:
Divinne, I have no idea why you've posted the screenshots above. Clearly you're doing some research, however the issues here are you're NOT responding to the points I raised, or looking in the right places for the answers.

I have nothing against you as a person, I've never met, or spoken to you. You may be as nice as pie, you may be a right tool, who knows?

Back to the topic at hand.

When one sells, or promotes a product or service, they must be prepared to respond to queries from all angles and perspectives. You can NOT see any queries as daft, they are ALL valid. This is why I asked you this:

What is the effect of restricted spring travel on a matched-length telescopic damper?

This is a simple question, and one which the more astute motorist and potential buyer is likely to ask amongst others. How you respond may make the difference in turning a lead into a sale. If you don't know, either do some more research, or ask! You don't get crucified for lack of knowledge regarding a product or service you're promoting. But you'll certainly get slated if you act like a douche, and refuse to accept scientific facts.

4WD MODS
SHOCK ABSORBERS EXPLAINED
Their workings aren't well understood and they're not all the same - February 2016
Shock absorbers are probably the least understood components of a 4WD's suspension. These devices are more properly called dampers and their function is to control spring action.

If you want to understand the function of a shock absorber or damper try driving a vehicle with none fitted to it: it’s a terrifying experience. Springs that aren’t damped oscillate up and down and the vehicle can get out of control at very low speeds.


The first sprung vehicles were horse-drawn and were fitted with leaf springs. At the relatively low speeds possible with such vehicles the inherent self-damping action of tightly bound successive leaves was sufficient to control spring action, but the motor vehicle soon showed the need for better damping action. Early shock absorbers were simple friction types: ‘clutch’ plates clamped together.

The first hydraulic shock absorbers were lever types, linking suspension action to a piston in an oil-filled cylinder. As seal technology improved the telescopic shock absorber took over and is still with us today.

Essentially, shock absorbers are oil-filled tubes, with a piston and rod sliding inside. Valves in the piston and also in the base of twin-tube shockers restrict oil flow and that action slows down the natural action of the suspension, otherwise the bouncing action would go on and on.

Shockers usually have more resistance to extension than compression and that makes sense when you think about it. When your 4WD hits a bump, the springs compress, then they extend as it passes over the bump. Making the shockers too stiff in 'bump' action would prevent the springs compressing properly.

However, some ‘bump’ damping is necessary, to prevent the springs from ‘bottoming out’ prematurely.

‘Rebound’ damping slows the natural extension of the spring after bump action, limiting the tendency to ‘hobby-horse’.
However, too much rebound damping stops the spring from extending properly. If the vehicle encounters a series of bumps, excessive rebound damping progressively ‘buttons down’ the suspension and ride quality suffers.

‘Bump’ and ‘rebound’ damping are necessary and dialling in the right amount of each is a science that surprisingly few suspension specialists understand.

It's obvious that shockers need to be matched to the springs. Firstly, the length of travel of the shocker piston must exceed the suspension travel and, secondly, the internal valving must ensure that the shock absorbers aren't fighting what the springs are doing.

It should be obvious from the foregoing that shock absorbers cannot increase the ride height of a vehicle. The only effect that shockers can have on suspension travel is a ‘damping’ or slowing action. Those with powerful bump damping can reduce body sway by resisting initial weight transfer as the vehicle enters a corner.

Thank you for failing finally. What you used to know is spring assisters. You have never seen or used coil spring cushion buffer. Coil spring cushion buffer is an innovation from spring assisters. There is a difference between normal spring inserts/rubber spacers and cushion buffers. spring inserts do not have holes. These rubber spacers are purely made to not allow the coil spring compress further especially while carrying heavy loads in the rear

urethane coil spring cushion buffer design has on the sides egg shaped holes to allow the cushion to flex with the coil springs adding to comfort & stability. The material - urethane is also uniquely designed to be durable & absorb shocks.

Never argue over what you know nothing about!!

apexquest:
@siena i humbly wish to recommend that you let sleeping dog lie, cos its pretty obvious that there is nothing you are going to say that will change the young man's(devinne) conviction.

EgunMogaji:


What a conflicting feeling. Not sure if I should be happy or sad

Egun, you've relocated to the UK?

Siena:


You still haven't answered my question. What is the effect of reduced spring travel on a matched-length damper?

Dullard? That would be you. What is the effect of installing an exposed cone filter in an engine bay, with no provision to shield it from hot air? What effect does ingested hot air have on engine output? Honda spent billions on research and development of an air cleaner assembly, that draws cold air into the intake. You completely reversed that set-up in a few minutes, improving nothing.

This alone proves you know little about how an automobile works, and will simply fit anything that exists aftermarket.

Give intelligent responses to the points I've raised, prove there is a bit of grey between your ears, and quit revelling in your ignorance.

EgunMogaji:


Oponu ode, and when banging in this filter, didn't you have to use tools to remove the stock air box? Or is it that you're just a posser that either found a pic online or the car came with the filter already installed.

davo3286:


Sorry I don't waste my time on unintelligent questions like that. Look, Siena, I'm not here to prove anything to anyone so quit giving me stupid quizzes. People have different reasons for doing what they do whether modification or otherwise. I may decide to delete my exhaust muffler and install a magnaflow stainless exhaust muffer or system with a big circular or oval tip for aesthetics (because to me it looks sexy from behind) while another person might love it because of the roar (the deep sound) it produces while accelerating from red light. Like they say - different strokes for different folks. I think you're just being old school with old backward thinking. Yes, that's what you are.

davo3286:


No big deal about K&N filters hence the pictures I uploaded. From your comments it shows you have no practical know-how so it's a sheer waste of time talking to you about things as such. You have no competence whatsoever.

Siena:


Bro, I agree. It's just that once one gets defensive by being rude and abusive (rather than objective) I get kind of riled.

How you dey?

Re: cushion buffer
« Reply #2 : October 26, 2010, 01:19:44 »
Dazz, yes this is it ! Sorry i keep falling back to my racing days but these were made of hard rubber and worked well. With the the new tech. wonder if they work ? OK got you on the wood grain dash and shock cushion ! Your so honest !!

If the date here is correct and you posted the following earlier, then you are not honest.

"Hello Guyz, Siena is right when he said that the product is not new. What has been around is the rubber shock absorber cushion buffers which would not last up to 3 to 6 months. The new thing is the Polyurethane material used to produce the cushion buffer. POLYURETHANE is a stronger material than rubber, soft as rubber and could be as hard as plastic. Please use your search engines for information. No complains on the product so far. For more info, pls visit http//www.facebook.com/shockabsorbercushion or call 07060408555, 08022228548.

Siena:


The only reason you can't answer my simple query is simple - you don't know the answer, because you're thick. And you're ego won't let you admit you don't know, and ask.

My questions are beyond the scope of one who installs a cone filter, and leaves the engine to ingest hot air.

davo3286:


I'm here to compete with anyone... You can come here and drop all the trash you read online about any subject but that doesn't make you an authority in that same subject over other people. That does not also mean you have practical/technical know-how.

Siena:


Of course you're here to compete. I don't need online material to bolster my knowledge in my discipline. I leave that to you, who would copy and paste, including mistakes others have made, because you're too dense to notice. My automobile knowledge is as vast as your overall brain power is little.

Please answer my questions, and prove you're not a simpleton, using verbal abuse to hide your inadequacies.

davo3286:


You're a kid and like I said before, Im not here to compete with anyone. Your question is irrelevant just as you are so no need. You have no real automobile knowledge apart from what you read online, acting lord over your foolishness. Stop deceiving yourself. You know NOTHING!

Siena:


Every question posted in an online forum is relevant when the discussion is technical. You have proven you're thick, by side stepping simple questions.

Fitting a K&N filter without shielding it from hot air in the engine bay is the height of ignorance. You can't defend your own foolishness, otherwise you would have done so by now.

davo3286:


You're such an unrepentant idiot! Lolz...I laugh you in fulani. You must be a stupid fool! If you want to engage me in a technical discourse lets meet up face-to-face and engage ourselves on some technicalities and see who's more knowledgeable...not here on NL. I needed to show the other dimwit @EgunMogaji that installing a KN filter is no facking big deal, hence the pictures. Plus you're so dumb to believe that anyone would install a KN filter without installing the shield that came with it as a complete kit or use an improvised/fabricated one.

Least I forget, brainy Davo. Apparently I'm an unrepentant idiòt, big foòl, backward etc so-and-so.

Of the over 1-odd million Nairaland subscribers, why would you even choose to follow me? Since I'm all you say I am, why not find more intelligent people to follow? You're following 5 members, yet you decided I was worthy enough to be one of the 5.

Man, a moroníc chimp wouldn't envy you the mess you call a brain. For day to day living, your brain is adequate. To engage in any worthwhile technical discussion, it's as useful a chocolate teapot.
