yes i've heard and ask about the price before, its quite expensive than others. i'm not sure if my dad change those before as i just took over this 6 years old car about 2 years ago. that means for the first 4 years, i never touch nor care what is going on about this car i dunno anything ma
i will check whether my brake hose is steel braided later. so how often should we change the brake pad?

thats what the salesman told me lo...maybe I should give that a try.

195/50/15 for waja? Too Thin alr. Tyre shop recommend 55/60.

i've changed my stock 195/55/R15 to 195/60/R15 for more comfort ride.
i guess the thinner, the better the handling? and nosier also.

I use 195/60/15 before.. Handling wise is ok and comfortable wise so nice..

Now using 205/45/17 so damn noisy and comfortable wise so so only.. Handling wise, depends on what tyre u use..

lotsa' seller sound honest when in fact, they're dealing with the fake goods
simple! compare to what i've seen, the pad's surface is too rough to be an original ferodo!
most of the performance brake pad in the market actually has the center groove indicator.

IMP is fine. in fact, i feel it was a tad better than bendix metal king titanium in cold run. last time using bendix metal king, it bite like no tomorrow (once it turn hot) but the problem was; my disc suddenly need skimming in shorter time! turn out it affect the disc too.
upgrade to pro rs brake hose for better response!

btw, 195/50/r15 looks ugly (and bumpy ride) on waja. the least, go for 195/55/r15.
series 60 provide a more comfortable ride with certain sacrifice in cornering / handling.
then again, suspension setup, tyre type and the pressure does play a factor.

am currently looking for a pair of 205/55/r15 for my rear.
so far only seen the Direzza available locally. AD07 no longer in production. guys, any recommendation?

Yeah thinner better handling + noisier
Thicker better comfort + quieter.

I also decide to switch to 195/60/R15 at next change. Danny's 17" Rim coming soon wor... haha

To me, i did not feel any differences in handling after i change to 60 series..
Maybe uncle driver..lol

huh? no la, changed my mind to 16"
still looking for a nice one that suits my car...
now still having problem with the ferodo brake pad, after i solve it, then i'll change my rims together with the brake pad
so many things to buy, so little $$

manual written 55 series for waja, i think 50 series shud be ok lo coz i feel 55 series abit thick leh dun say 60 series totally not nice tires thick like 4wd tires....
waja cps 60 series also rite?? too thick i dun like no offense for cps driver....

correct, cps is using 60 series
some prefer comfort rather than racing ma, so its depends on individual driving style lo.
mine was 60 because it use to be my old man who drives it ma...now changing to 16" without his consent, sure kena marah kao kao later on, but who cares? kena marah is short-term only, changing the rim is long term thing bad son

Lolz... can try find other place ba. Snap the picture & search every rim shop.
For ppl who wan comfort sure go for bigger tire. Like to drift or play cornering sure go for thin tire. Depend on which u prefer ba.

haha agreed scold short term nia after that u can enjoy ur ride liao ......
i prefer thinner looks more sporty, btw anyone got picture for 50 series??wana see how it looks like.....

That why after getting my car, straightaway drove to Kelang and change to 16" rims with 50 series tyres.

wah ganas la. making me drool. i might have to change my rims too. i think some are crooked already. just did balancing about 1 month back. now steering wheel shaking again at 100kmh. damn sanfu.

Added on December 14, 2009, 7:08 pmbro why u wanna change your rear tires to 205/55 r15? any particular reason ah? 205 means wider from side to side right?

now u all tell me 55 series better handling.. i gatal already. haha. is it ALOT better in cornering compared to 60? but it doesnt look as nice as 60 series lor IMHO... any brand for 60 series that has a good balance between comfort and handling ar?

no picture for 50series, but got pictures for other stuffs

just now i was bathing with my engine cover, then it becomes like this


after looking at sam's, i felt so inferior of mine... so i decided to clean it. so next time when we meet up again, at least i wont feel so embarrass to pop up my engine hood.

its not that clean because the stains had been there for years, will have to clean it again next time when i'm back to my hometown.

I dunwan to clean it.. I want to paint it..

Joli, go to klang laa.. So many nice rims with cheaper price..

yer, dont paint la, no more original later...
call me Danny, yeah i've heard about that too, but lazy la so far...i rather buy somewhere here, got anything also tak perlu susah go so far...rite?

im planning to change my 195/55/15 to 195/50/15 too~ better FC??? between...is it advisable to use 15" taiwan rim instead of ORI???

from what i heard, the original rim is 9kg each, and standard taiwan rim only weight 7kg which is good enough, you dont want too light, that will cause your rim to bend whenever you are driving in malaysia's road, any road! but i'm sure 15" wont get bend that easy.
the original rim i meant was the very first batch waja rim, the fugly one.
