No offence.

You and the workshop should clearly know this issue before change to such extreme oversize tyre, but seems like u are noob enuf to be poisoned by ur bro and plus the workshop is totally irresponsible.

Even alot of ppl complain 195/55/R15 will hit fender with ori absorber and spring.

Now ur tyre sidewall is very thin, so u sacrifice the comfort, u will feel bumpy even with ori soft absorber and spring, i dun think you have more than 2 options in ur case.

1. Change to sport spring (stiff) and absorber, but you will feel riding hose after that. Ur interior plastic mounting will lose very fast due to bump.
2. Sell all ur rim and tyre and downsize to normal 14 or 195/50/R15., which is waste money.

You choose.

huh! you don't get it?
your lenso is no lightweight wheels. even more with 16". fuel consumption will be very bad.

cons with your current wheels ;
1. the acceleration changed from bad to worst. and slower time to reach top speed.
2. increased in fuel consumption
3. bumpy ride.
4. there is a compromise in braking effectiveness. the wider and bigger tire diameter will affect the already not so effective brake behavior.
5. bad tires and fender contact. your tires' top sidewall gonna hit the rear and front during fully loaded on uneven bump and front during full steering turn.

pros ;
1. slightly better handling on low profile tires.
2. better looking.
thats it!

btw, original tires profile is at least 60 which is thicker while you're currently on low profile 45. a lot of sacrifice in comfort for the so so handling on the
torsion beam rear suspension on saga.
you need to get a stiffer suspension system to compensate the bigger wheels. which in turn, as mentioned by coolkwc will affect the overall car's behaviour.
next time, do a proper homework before upgrading.
for big wheels on saga, the shop should have recommend you 195/50/r16 instead of 205.beside being overcharged by the shop, you will end up losing more sooner.

btw, i do own a saga blm which i bought for my sister and it was doing well on 195/50/r15

15" punya la. didn't the guy who change your tyre tell you you cant use 16" ones?

that guy want untung lebey la i think..my fault oso not doin research 1st

Does the Ultra Racing strut bar improve handling?

Noob here. I heard its quite cheap to install.

next time you have to insist and i think that tayar shop, you should ban yourself from going there again.

if you drive fast + accident trust me it do help! Installed... haha.

any saga owner here facing air-con problem?I need some troubleshooting.. I am a new owner of saga blm..

anyone using greber absorber for their blm? can share some info bout price and its performance?

hello,
Is it normal, when change gear from normal to reverse, sound produced is louder than others gear?
Help me please.
Because I already issue this problem to SC, but they told me, this is normal condition.

Auto? Manual?

Manual

'Normal' because all is like this. SC ppl like to say normal one. 'abnormal' becos only BLM manual got this sound.

Next time after press the clutch, wait 2-3s before engage to reverse gear, and change slowly, don suddenly engage, then u will get rid of this sound. It works on me.

yup... lagi syiok corner roundabout highspeed and hard u-turn...

From all ur previous posts u seems like a dangerous driver on road... luckily you stay at East MAS while I at West MAS.

ekekeke... i think lagi syiok if i can drive there... but too bad... a week there also i cant remember how to get to KLCC from the hotel unless use LRT...

btw saga is a good car to drive that way... stable, roaring engine...

OK.
Thanks.
