anyone of you guys try Sustec or hwl adjustable suspension? currently using tein superstreet but looking for softer alternative.

try before. sux apm performax is better than gab.
i prefer adjustable btw.

any other recommendation?

aren't you at esplanade too? doesn't matter whose product. my friend get his car done at your place last time. another friend get his car done somewhere else. those done somewhere else was leaking somewhere else after 7 weeks. thats explain the different in workmanship

yes. apm performax is a cut above the oem waja(apm) shock abs. performance is definitely better than gab. one of
the best non-adjustable i've had try. last longer than proride but that will depending on the level of abuse
not sure if it's serviceable thou coz' once the abs become less flexible after 2 years, i just change 'em with a new one.
currently using tein superstreet but i need a softer adjustable abs for more civilized ride

ccfl having a quality issue?

it was an easy job indeed but a friend of mine done his car somewhere else and it was leaking afterward. guess the guy who did the job must be very lousy then
the one done at your place never had such problem.

btw, will drop by at your place to check out the disc brake anytime soon.

cheers

just like any other adjustable with limited hi low setting( minus the soft hard), the ride is very stiff on mines adjustable suspension.
getting a customize spring will not help much either!

try polishing your side mirror. else, polishing the windscreen might help in some way.
else, you may need to sound proof all 4 doors at once! and check the triangle cover(with proton logo) at the rear windows if it loosened.

power window price is ok. but wiper linkage original proton cost cheaper at 150 bucks with installation while compatible only cost around 80 bucks with installation.

how good is the sachs abs and spring?

i need something softer than my current tein superstreet on this turtle ride.
comfort and handling in one package. i tried apm performax set but never try sachs though.

was using it almost 2 years back. sold to a friend at the same price after 6 months and changed to k&n i bought from speedworks during some tuning.
i can said it's on par with other simota stainless steel drop in.

you don't need the offset wheels on 15" and standard 195/55/r15 tires.
the stock wheels can accomodate up to 205/55/r15 tires without any problem.
offset wheels is useless on standard 195 width tires.
only required when you plan to ride on anything higher than 205 tires width. ie; 225/55/r15

check THIS out for more info

shiny one !
if you noticed the suspension is already hardened / bumpy / noisy when driving thru potholes; esp the rear one, just change it
adjustable are stiffer than those conventional ones; hi lo / soft hard also doesn't differ much. am currently using tein superstreet but used to ride on
mines and hwl adjustable before.
now looking for non adjustable.

@WhitE LighteR@
welcome
btw, i used to ride on 15" offset wheels with 225 width tires.
dry traction in corner is top notch but wet traction sux due to the bigger contact with road surface during heavy rain. ; hence aquaplaning is unavoidable. directional tread tires doesn't help either.
now using 205/55/r15 rear.
16" with lower profile tires will definitely increase the car's handling but ride was kinda bumpy on our road.

my waja was riding on the entry level tein superstreet adjustable which is more of an all out assault on handling while the hwl comes with hi lo / soft hard. of the 2, i will said hwl give me a good handling while still be quite comfortable for a daily ride on soft option. needless to say, a friend offer me cost to cost price on hwl after using it for 6 months
tested the tein on the way down from cameron highland. going 145km/h over the corner / winding road is a
breeze.
if you want a pure handling and don't mind the stiff / hard ride(customize spring does help a lil' in comfort), go for adjustable. but if comfortable is your preference, stay away from any adjustable.

btw, so far the best non-adjustable i've d ever use was the apm performax set. handling and comfort in one! and it last more than 2 years!
letting go off the tein superstreet to add fund to my current project;
neo with gsr coupled with mivec top. but kinda hate the a** swaying of neo. still undecided whether to stay with e-manage or try haltech


p/s; bought my 205/55/15 at almost 650 bucks for 2 pcs. yokohama hs4. anything wider will be prone to aquaplaning. car's / 15" rims' weight and tires contact with flooded rood surface need to be compensated .

if am not mistaken, THIS was the 16" on waja rims that recalled by proton a few years back for precautionary measure . rims crack under certain test. no damage on the road though

btw, my sister drove my waja back home last week and i find out it becomes rev happy... easily shoot up to 6k rpm. was a waja auto!
kinda weird because it used to change gear below 5.5k rpm.


@soned@
hi there. welcome. pretty wife you've got there

was a waja auto. no way i control the gearing
it used to shift below 3.5k... then when for some light mod. ie; exhaust(cat con remain), mytheo, k& and gearbox cog swap.
engine drag all the way to 5k before it shift to 4th gear.
recently become rev happy and the car feel so light, it will rev up more than 5k before changing

according to my sister, 90 bucks of ron97 only last 550km/h or so...

the wheels is very rare indeed!

same here. my waja auto change gear below 3.8k even from 3rd to 4th. a friend modded the gearbox cog / ratio and engine able to drag all the way to 5k before gear changed.
recently, car become rev happy and it will easily rev up to 6k in 2nd to 3rd!

Added on March 8, 2010, 8:09 pmit's dirt cheap if pesc really change with new disc. oem pad with oem new disc easily cost 200 bucks.
perhaps, the mechanic use one that already skimmed and swap with yours. else, they wrongly bill you.disc skimming usually cost under 80 bucks per pair.

car still max out at over 203km/h if am not mistaken. tested at 'empty and nice highway' but feels like the car take a shorter time to reach the top speed.

was done by my friend. in order to change the gear ratio, he changed the cog altogether.
should bo no problem on manual as well.

noted. thanks a lot for the good advice on parts change

yes. you can. the will only charge you on the labour.

nah, you can always pump it to suit your own driving style / environment. just don't pump under 31 psi because it will increase the rolling resistance and caused an uneven tire wear / increased fc.
you can set it at 34 psi front and 32 psi rear then.
but make sure you pump 'em during cold tire temp.

since you bught your tires from the shop, nitrogen should be foc.
good thing with nitrogen is you don't have to check the tires pressure very often

@WhitE LighteR@
any problem with the alternator?

get a guangdao

lala mui.... jk
HERE you go.
a voltage stabilizer. one of the better one that i've d use...
