The projector will be done when we have a dry spell in Goa. The flip key cannot be done as the remote is too big. Need to get a new central locking for that.

Just installed AutoRunner Coil Spring Assister yesterday. Suspension has stiffened up and handling has greatly improved. The car is also more composed over speed breakers.

As per the manufacturer;
"Coil Spring Assisters are necessary because most standard car springs are designed for comfort of the passengers and are not strong enough for bad roads and heavy weights carried in the boot, so decreasing the possibility of shock absorber from bottoming and reducing stress on the Bushing.

Coil Spring Assisters doubles the life of your Shock Absorber and Bushing, Increasing Handling and reducing road noise so giving the ability to drive on Indian roads stress free and reducing cost on maintenance."

However for me I found the best part of it is the improved handling. Hyundai cars come with soft suspensions giving you a false sense of comfort. Actually the soft suspension makes the car bounce a lot on rough roads and the body rolls a lot during cornering. This makes you feel sick. Now with AutoRunner fitted (combined with the earlier upgraded footware) the car is really handling well. Not perfect but 10 times better than stock.

@peter, that is a nice modification.
can you point out the negative impact of such adjusters. I doubt if not the suspensions bottoming the impact will be taken up by body or more road noise being heard after installation?

what about the fixing part is there any minute chances of this thing popping out of coil

The harsher ride is the only negative. But I can live with that as I find it more comfortable the constantly bouncing around like before. The road noise is a bit more only on very rough roads.
I don't think it will pop out as it is quite difficult to put in. The car has to be jacked up with no weight on the suspension to fit and remove.
