the usual clutch plate ppl use is valeo, last time i got it for 350, and labor for it is around 300-350.

I C, thank for the info, i think 350 sounds reasonable. the labour charge is from Renaultech USJ ?. Called osman baba from klang, he said he can only do Manual, AMT he can't do, because he said banyak kerja and very difficult , so refuse. Saw a post a few months back recommending on goin to Selayang price between 200-300, but not sure where is the place. hehhe

somehow i got mine the renault clutch plate kit plus labour for around 930.. that is last 2 year if not mistaken..
**same issue on the heavy clutch pedal problem even using ori renault plate kit.. not related to clutch kit.. need to oil the cable thing if want smooth clutch pedal.. problem for daily use in kl.. solution -> use wife car, auto.. haha..

anyone here use 195/50/15 donut? mind to share where to modify fender for the clearance issue..
thinking of change to 175/50/15 or 185/50/15 if got.. headache on the rubbing issue when meet bump or hole.. can only seat 2 people else rubbing happen on waving road..

share price and brand for the size mention plz.. want really cheap2 donut if possible cause car do less travel nowadays.. if can mod fender, will get 2nd 195 from puchong famous 2nd hand tyre shop (behind tesco there).. pirelli there are superb condition for rm90 per piece.. but 195 size only..

Bro, can try to put Spring buffer, it should raise your car by 1 inch. only rm32 at damansara damai, siap pasang around rm60. but your suspension will get a little stiffer then before and less bumpy, but superd grip, i corner my car 130km/h before with a Subaru Sti, a sharp 70degree corner.

But your bushings will kong cepat. been using it for 1 1/2 year. 2morrow sending my car for bushing replacement front and rear.

sleep.gif Dafuq.... Spring buffer were used to prevent spring being fully compressed. It doesn't raise height or increase bounce rate at all. Generally, 1 should not feel any difference when driving with spring buffer, and the only thing a person can felt is whacking hard corner, where hard until the spring will be fully compressed.

Having spring buffer will not make bushing kong also, it's the mentality did. The bushing restored certain amount of bounce rate(original Shawie APM spring bounce rate indeed a little low), you feel very happy everyday go whack konar like no tomolo ma bushing faster kong lor laugh.gif

Regardless of the above, if not mistaken NOX is currently using Plotong Perdana spring. The only problem lies 195/50R15. 50% of 195 aint small! If he pay attention enough, it's basically NOT the width that kills the fender, it's the tyre HEIGHT. If jack up the car, took off the wheels will find out the grinding point is at the rear bumper more than hitting the rear fender whistling.gif

Korek solution: Supposedly below:
1) Suggested tyre size according to Plotong 165/60R14, 175/50R15
2) Upgrade spring to GaGa BLM(maintain minimal comfortable level), or to GaGa FLX(bumpy until vomit blood), GaGa 1.6 taxi spring(spring extreme hard, can fly to moon)
3) Add mounting buffer to raise the vehicle height.

Usually when you see cars that become tall running around, they add bush ON TOP of the spring

Spring buffer that claim to increase height/add on bounce rate were false claim

its ok lorh, everyone has thier own opinions. I've installed buffers on 4 cars including mine. Each of the car show same thing, raise by 1 inch. Car become less bumpy meaning less sagat on your fender. Its a cheap solution. If your gonna use perdana spring, u have to take the front set and installed on your back savvy. but must modified have to cut a few cm. Using perdana spring you can install 17' wheels without hitting the fender even at highspeed( I had a chat with the man that did this). Fender roll can DIY, lots of video on youtube.

i'm using front perdana spring on my rear end, but already cut 2 ring out so not so tonggek.. but now regret.. cause still sangkut blakang..

david, so it struck the bumper side.. ok.. will do something later..
fender is for front side.. sure makan tyre @ cutting the tyre on front..

i have that mounting buffer before on my rear standard spring but car look hediously high..
change to perdana better but rubbing issue on 4 people inside..

any shop to recommend on rolling front fender? or any tyre shop can do?
*
Ohhh, i c .. i think any tyre shop can do. But depends on the price, i think is between 20-50 bucks.
Make sure they use rubber hammer, dont let them use metal hammer it will ruined your body paint. slowly it will leave cracks, sundenly whole fender terkopek the colour.

You can try search for chamber adjusting. But hopefully fender roll can be the solution.
