I really like the Wigo's profile, the lifter is just a temporary solution until I can find better aftermarket replacement shocks for it.

but my concern is, are we not going beyond the weight limit of such a smaller and cheaper car? will the car go into premature failure because of the weight of the passengers it is being subjected to?

Probably. What is the weight limit anyway? I can't find it on the user manual.

^ i assume sobrang tagtag nyan?

i do not know. i tried to look for it also. manual.. innernet.. nada. parang state secret yata.. but someone did mention, 4 adults or 5 filipinos.. whatever that means.
and yes, even without modifications, the wigo is matagtag. dahil mataas ang recommended tire pressure, and also because it's got a short wheelbase.. can't soften even light bumps..

Thanks sa mga replies. height ko nasa 5'8 weight nasa 175kg. 2 adults lng naman kaso minsan pag may lakad barkada 5 adults with almost the same weights kami hehe atleast nagka idea ako about sa lifter. Wigo plng kasi kaya budget namin tska matagal pa naman sa nov pa cguro.
yaris or vios sana tlaga gusto ko kaso alanganin sa budget.
hindi ba hirap sa incline ang wigo AT? Like sa tagaytay highlands?

Nope.

Well, yes, it is, especially if you strictly follow the 36psi tire pressure recommendation indicated on the side of the doors, which is "matagtag" na even without the lifters. But, I use 34, I always have, and the ride quality isn't any different from what it was before.

Kaya yan

We use the car every weekday papasok to Makati, 3 adults, and then sometimes 4 adults pauwi. But then again, I have lifters. Nyehehe preparation na din when the day comes (if it does) na magpalit ng mags to 15 inch. :D

Nope.

You can take it all the way up to Baguio if you want.

Hello.... Yung lifter pala ang sagot.
May I ask, yan ba yung idinadagdag sa gitna o shafting ng shock absorber?

Ang taas ng tire pressure mo. 36psi talaga? Samantala sa mga sedan cars na drive ko usually 27 - 28 psi ang recommended tire pressure nila. At nasa manual nila nakalagay at door side reminder. Usually, 30psi tire pressure ang ginagawa ko. Ang Mitsu Lancer 89 (singkit type) 28psi. Eto naman gamit ko ngayon Honda City 99 model (SX8 Type) 27psi.

Mungkahi lang, try mo 28psi o 30psi sa lahat ng wheels mo. Observe mo lang kung san tire pressure sya hindi maging matagtag.

Sa spring po nilagay sir, sa mga pagitan. Two per side, so bale 4 sa rear.

36psi talaga recommended sir e hahaha nakalagay dun sa door, pati sa user manual. Well it works naman, if solely for fuel efficiency. Natry ko na 30, nalalambutan ako. Perfect na sakin yung 34

Yea, Baguio. We have several members sa WigoPH who've done that. I've gone up to Tagaytay with 4 adults and a kid, easy peasy. Mine is a manual though, but still, I don't see how the AT variant can't do that as well.

Okey. Yan ba yung tipong goma nakahakab sa spring po?
