Mahihi,

Sorry for late ( as usual smile.gif

To answer your question, lets apply the basic Law of Physics...
Energy cannot be destroyed. Energy is either converted or transform.

1) For stiff suspension, you need a stronger Chassis for it to perform to its true potential.
That is why cars like EVO, STis, Type Rs all have stiffened Chassis to cope with thier Sports suspension.
So a Stiffer chassis improves Handling...esp. those with Sports suspension.

@0 AutoFOAM is rigid ( NOT solid) foam that absorbs energy .
This will help Improve your Comfort levels tremendously.

2) AutoFOAM FOLLOWs and treats the complete chassis UNLIKE bars that will only specific areas.
The feel is more "organic" and "natural". You will feel the Car as ONE.

Call me for more info.

Cheers,

Des

I've recently purchase the Michelin primacy lc 195/55 15r and I drive a 2009 proton gen2 CPS. I've been using these tyres for the past 2 weeks and it's nothing short of an extraordinary experience.

During the first several months of using the car, I was much disturbed by the noise coming in to the cabin. Road noise, engine noise, wind noise, motorcycle noise, you name it, I was hearing it.

Hence after some searching, I sent my car to klauto. Spent 1700 on soundproofing products which made so little difference. Okay yeah, road noise is reduced when driving at low speed. But once I hit the highway, the Goodyear nct 5 will start their usual roar.

With the primacy lcs? Man.. I tell you, driving on the highway gives me a new high. It's just so damn quiet. And true to some others, it really feels like you're gliding on the road.
I can still enter corners at the same speed as I did with the nct5s. Regarding wet roads, I still haven't had the opportunity to test it out yet.

It's been 1000km and I must say that these tyres are a hell of a purchase.

simple. i suggest you slap on the same tires on another gen2 and then you'll realise the difference on the same highway.

I had my whole Honda Accord autofoam-ed before this, full package and on every single foamable spot smile.gif To be honest there are surely differences (nothing great) but the price we're paying is way too expensive (RM4K+). Since there are alternatives in the market these days, I will try other types of foam which is cheaper.

I'm speaking from the perspective of value vs money spent biggrin.gif

I mean there are differences, for example the car feels more solid, a bit more stable during cornering and that's about it. This product won't transform a Proton Waja to a Mercedes or BMW biggrin.gif If it's priced cheaper then I would say it's worth to do it but at RM4K+ for the whole car, it's just extremely over-priced. If it's really that good, I would've foamed my new car top to bottom but I won't do it. No harm done if you have extra money to burn though, haha.

Like I said there are differences and yes, it's good in some ways but again, the price we pay for is just not worth it. Imagine how much you can do with the RM4K+? smile.gif You can go elsewhere to do some simple sound proofing and although the effects are not so good, you can literally save a huge amount of money. You also need to know that RM4K+ is not the end of it. After that you will be introduced to sound proofing materials here and there, bla bla bla and that's another 1-2K. Overall you spend a fortune on the car but in reality, it's just a bit better than stock. Like I said, it won't transform a Waja to a BMW or Mercedes.

Just my real life experience with Autofoam. Personally I will do it if it's more reasonably priced.

thanks for the review. if i own a waja i dont think it will turn into BMW by spending rm4k. all i want from that rm4k is a vast improvement compare to stock.

but if rm4k spend only will give me bit better than stock, then thats the problem.

so for rm4k spend on your accord, what package did you took, and what do you add up? hope you can break it down into details. thanks

I took the full package, full autofoam on the whole car inclusive of soundproofing on the trunk, etc smile.gif It costs that much and it will give improvements but I feel the price we're paying is a bit too much. That said, I rather try those Profoam products at a cheaper price. Maybe they won't work that well but at 60-70% cheaper, why not? biggrin.gif

I only go for comfort package, roar buster, and sound proof the boot area all around 1.1k.. improves my waja a lot to me.. but it's enough coz no matter how much I spend it's still a waja..

Maybe next time get a bigger car can spend more on it..

could it just simply because the room for improvements on accord is less compared to waja??
im pretty sure if u take a kosong kancil 660 or kosong iswara and autofoam it, its gonna make hell lots of difference..

your vios is the new model i reckon?

i am vios owner too, and what irritate me the most is the rattling sound. does autofoam help in reducing this sound? but i must say road condition did contribute. if i drive on a smooth road, the noise acceptable, but if i go through on uneven road, lots of potholes, my car would feel like im driving a lorry. noise here and there, rattling sound here and there...

im not a technical person but let me say this in layman term, i would like autofoam+soundproofing to help eliminate rattling sound of my vios. can it be done?
