« DAIHATSU ESSE CUSTOM
41. Suspension reset
I had installed a third-party height-adjustable suspension, but I felt that the ride was uncomfortable when driving long distances, so I returned it to its original condition and checked the ride comfort. After that, I used a combination of a lowdown coil and a genuine shock absorber, which are said to maintain the ride comfort.
The collar on the upper mounting part was too wide, so I used a grinder to cut it and install it.
I searched online and got a short rear shock from the same Daihatsu L700S.
So this car height. For the rear, unless you use a short shock, the coil will play, so you can't cut it any further.
Cutted the coils that overlap when the weight of the vehicle is applied, one turn for the front and two turns for the rear.

Next, I reassembled it with a shock that was in good condition.
Unfortunately, I decided not to use the original shock since it was already in a non-functional state.
