Just drove to ipoh in the morning n back at afternoon... Average speed is 150 - 170... Coz rushing for meeting.. Really stable at highway with moderate road noise... Eibach spring really do their works on long corner at 150 kmh plus my toyo 245/40 less noise compare to nexen.. Hehehehe...

In comfort level only a bit less but satisfied enough for me... Worth every penny spent.

Saw a SWP K5 at ipoh wit plate WWR????.... On my way back lots of new and old camry... Even manage to 'cucuk angin' a civic until reach 200 kmh... Can still go further but dare not as my odo just only 1500++.. will go for 1st service tomorrow morning....

Happy wit K5 so far....

Look awesome rclxms.gif How much you trade in the tyre and the rim and how much is the cost for the new rim and the tyre. What is the size? Let me guess hmm.gif 235/45/19 right? How is the driving, cornering, handling...etc??
*
Trade in for 2300.00 n top up 5k.... Tyre size is 245/40/19... Highway cornering moderately improved in term of stability but at a bit cost of comfort... Normal driving was the same in my opinion.. Steering feel was slightly heavy than standard.

CM98: thanks for your comment, you indeed answered your own queries... tongue.gif

Ermm...dunno...but i still think the stock rims are better. The car design gives it a solid feel so if the rims have 'holes', then its sorta looks disconnected. This rim design might look better on a lighter coloured body. But thats just my taste i guess.

Agreed with CM98... rclxms.gif

Been through with Optimaforum.com gallery... Most of the k5 owner changed to 20" rims and design... Maybe because their spec are 2.4 so 20" is not a prob for them. Can get some idea on rims design from there...

Hi, the fuel consumption is not too bad, on average I get about 650KM per full tank of abt RM 125 and my driving style varies...i travel at about 140km/h daily as I commute from Damansara to Cyberjaya for work everyday...Power is adequate when you are driving alone.....but when you have 5 people in the car, its better to just cruise tongue.gif..

Handling is good with no complains, standard tires a bit noisy though but this can be rectified by upgrading to quieter ones.....not sure if chaning to a new set of tires would rectify that "jumpy steering" symptom..I do notice that wind noise is apparent once you go past 120KM on the driver side...but some forummers have mentioned that buying those rubber strips from jayongmall would lessen the exterior noises..you can always consider those 3rd party soundproofing if its not quiet enough for you...its not that bad though..

All in all no regrets and loving each day with the car...

Just wanna share my exp regarding jumpy steering... i've changed my tyre to Toyo T1 Sport 245/40/19 and i still encounter the jumpy steering issue...

Brp kena bro for autofoam?...hows the effect?

Price depends on what you want for ur ride.... Ranging from 980 to 3800 for autofoam, separate charge for sound proofing... The effect was great... Worth every penny spent... Hehehehe...
