Can we change our car suspension shock absorbers to more comfortable ones ?

color is not an indicator of anything but branding. KYB are are white and red, KONI are yellow and so forth. shocks alone will help, but to get serious difference you need shocks and springs. The 'recoil rate' and 'stiffness' of the spring are your main numbers. Start with the basics, your tire. make sure the tire pressure is exactly like factory recommendation (found in your manual or on a label on the side of the driver door). then reduce all the tire pressure by 2 psi. so if the recommendation is 29 front, 32 back (like land cruiser) then reduce to 27 front, 30 back. check if this helps and it should. your tires will squeesh more (make more noise) and probably wear out earlier but the drop in pressure is not high enough to cause danger from over heating or softness. After that, consider changing to 'adjustable' shocks. KONI for example make shocks with 5 settings. so when you are driving around town, you set it to soft +5, when you are off roading you set it to medium +3, and when you need to speed you set it to hard +1. Can you post more info about the car so I can perhaps recommend something for you? Let me know. Answered on Mon, 02/11/2009 - 11:57pm

Sure you can. And 4x4 coloured customized shocks are easily availabe here in Doha. I saw somewhere, they costs about 4,500qr for four shocks set excluding installing. Answered on Mon, 02/11/2009 - 11:10pm

If you make it more 'comfortable', you reduce performance. Answered on Mon, 02/11/2009 - 11:17pm
