Re: Mitsubishi Cedia Sports Ownership Review - Part 1
Here is the best mod I want to talk about. Tein dampers & coil over super street suspension. If anybody wants to have true sports performance out of cedia, I suggest these dampers. Well, it available in India (Blr) and it is Rs.92,000 with fitment from Red rooster performance. Guys at red rooster performance do good job.
With stock dampers, it was comfy and it was missing the sporty, edgy performance. I changed to Tein after too much of reading and since it was available here I took it up.
Super street can be fitted with EDFC switch which can electrically tune the suspension from driver seat. I did not opt for it. I decided to go with manual tuning than Rs. 14000 electric control. Top bolt on the dampers can be twisted to 0-25 ticks to have stiffer to soft shocks performance. Lower the ticks, stiffer the suspension is.
If I needed to have complete control of driving it is better to have stiffer suspension. I have tuned it to 6 & 10 for front & back. Pictures are attached.
With our road condition, I think this gives me best performance out of car. I tried softer setting on smooth road like NICE corridor, but, I do not prefer that. Since, the sudden over-taking of slow cars & trucks and two wheeler menace needed my constant attention and I needed my stallion to be pepped for it.
But, hey it is my personal preference. But, the point is that the cedia is truly a sports car now with these dampers.
The control and stability when turning at higher speed really makes me feel that I'm trained rally driver :-) I don't do it much though, but occasionally the college kid in me with RX100 come to life ;-)
It is truly AMAZing how these coil overs change the driving experience.
I have the pictures attached for the front and rear top portion that is visible under the hood and within boot. For rear adjustment, I had to cut open the boot interior clothing to reach out to the top bolt of rear damper.
