Because if the ARB is thick, it's very rigid & provide little to no elasticity/flexibility for the chassis to bend/twist around the corner. And these ARBs are installed directly on top of the suspension head in the engine bay. When the car actually enter a corner with a thick ARB installed, the ARB provide such immense strength to hold both left & right side of the car together, koyak la like that...

I understand how u feel

I also gonna lose my job soon d. Professor going back U.S. permanently

Morning pupumaru

No lah.. Our car don't even have the power to go any faster, what's the point of limiting our car's top speed? The only thing that'll limit the top speed of our cars is the law of physics lah.. Right day, right time, right weather, correct road, u can easily hit at least 190-200 in ur car..

I don't know, am I?

Yea... My car was stock standard when I hit that. With 17 inch rims la.

What to do? I'm an underpaid 'pilot' mah...

Where got low

Check the pros & cons on the bulk order list on 1st page 1st post. The stated pros & cons of RS pads are in comparison with MKT.

No lah... Everytime fnf who gonna sponsor petrol for me la?

Original OEM u have to go find Proton. RM 700+ 1 side if I'm not mistaken.

Or else, just go find accessory shop outside, they usually have the same thing that Proton sells, but made in Taiwan. Shouldn't cost u more than RM 450-500 for one pair.

Original proton headlights have a small proton logo embossed near the signal lamp. Other than that, it's pretty much similar to Taiwan mades.

Ftw.. If I'm not that rich, my next car gonna be Alfa Romeo 159.. Damn sexy wei..

Seriously, what's all the hype about BMW n Merc? The Audi, Alfa, they all are better n more exotic choices. The 3.2 V6 159 around 300k. Much cheaper than those German brands. Looks way nicer too.

Yea.. Alfa for true petrolheads.. I won't care about FC if I drive an Alfa.. Sat in one before at the showroom.. Damn nice..

Cars like Aston n Alfa, they are for people who sees driving as a passion..

Ok.. Durian TT this weekend.. Will post it up soon.

JTS 3.2

Go back to AutoItalia for service la... Apa susah.. I don't mind travelling a bit far to service my car as long as it's nice, rare and sexy...

Added on April 26, 2011, 2:15 pmBULK ORDER V5

Rapid Stop 550'C Brake Pads. Front only, RM 130. For H-Line owners with rear disc brakes, if you want the rear brake pads as well I'll have to ask for a different quotation from the dealer. For now the bulk is for front brake pads only.



Pros of RS:
1. Higher working temp.
2. Doesn't need to warm up first every time u start ur car to provide immense braking power.
3. Less fading, lasts longer.
4. Less brake dust than OEM pads.
5. Price.

Cons of RS:
1. Needs bedding in.
2. Not so well known like MKT.
3. Can be spongy if not bed in correctly.

If possible, a TT will be held where buyers will be given their brake pads and will be taught on how to bed in the brake pads accordingly & evenly.

RM 130 only, need at least 10 members here to get bulk price. Might be able to get cheaper if more people join the bulk.
