lower speed (<50km/h), really fixed a lot... faster speed (>80km/h), neutralized already sweat.gif

Thanks for advice, by the ways 19mm and 16mm got any different?

3mm difference in thickness but 19mm should give 2x the effect of the 16mm brows.gif

Dont waste $$$ TRD suspension with same $$$ can get better suspension, this cant avoid bodyroll but can reduce bodyroll at some point car design to have some body roll for street car.
wah taiko you should use 19mm at 1st stage .... this type of add on improve your chassis but best upgrade still a set suspension that can be custom tune to individual driver needs.
*
taikor, long time you no post here biggrin.gif
cos got a boss advised that if go for 19mm, it change suspension will induce too much oversteer, 16mm will be just nice...
But now thinking whether should go for suspension upgrade or keep in a jar as DP for conti tongue.gif

If u say a boss advise he must be very geng.... long time i have miss out this type of action...haha... to me most of my advise was given by some of my racing driver friend .... very technique info...haha.... some advise from normal the web...

19mm not that bad... oversteer i still dont think is possible if normal speed but this still depend on how far you do dare to push till the edge... drive safely....
*
can share share the info or not? my PM is always open tongue.gif

that's why lor... makes me wonder sometimes (maybe regret?) if 19mm will be more suited for my driving style hmm.gif

i try not to push the car too much too, it's a jap and sub 100k... there's only so much it can do even with mods tongue.gif

Well the rim size is not such an issue to me. paddle shifts is an add-on advantage of city. I heard that facelift city is even going to have sunroof is that truth?

Touchscreen and reverse camera is also an option for me. the most important things for me is at least need to have USB and got bluetooth is the best as my phone is HTC One X which has beats audio to enhance the sound performance.

I will be driving from Penang island to mainland everyday so roughly calculate is about 60-65km travel range everyday. expecting economical FC lo. and i drive quite fast so need a better car to handle my driving skill lo. lolz...
*
ohh... ICE mods...

then test driven already both of them?

one thing i noticed is the new City's FC is higher than Vios... not to say that high, just higher, you can checkout fuelly.com and see people's stats

Haha, all depends on how much budget i can afford for the 16" after trade in all my stock...

Seriously is it the 5.5j ?? not the 6J ?? please advice... so the car can fit in 195/60/r15 size tyre?
*
6j is for the TRD rims

5.5j max can fit 195

195/55R15 ler, 195/60 more than 3%, will affect the speedometer

Hi, i want to ask, the stock 15" 185/60 sport rim and tyres give the car enough traction and grip or not? enough to use or not?
*
enough is a subjective word in this context... some people think that even 176/65R14 is good enough, some think 215/45R17 is perfect... handling and performance mods are more to personal preference, no? smile.gif
