Bro, initially, I thought of that, replacing the stock absorber too, but somehow, went for autofoam to get the feel of rigidity first, coz wanted to get
rid of engine & irritating CVT noise. I scared if too rigid feel, then it will not be comfort.. bcoz I'd changed to 17" rim mated with 17/50/215 tyre.
BTW, may I know what brand ur using now? How much improvement felt on the body roll now (doing fast cornering)??

I used Autofoam as well, i think that is the best in the market right now from my opinion.

I always drive/test the exora cornering from Damansara tol (heading towards north) there is a long curve. I'll say the handling did improve tremendously from what i felt previously. Also when the car hits those yellow lines on the road it has less vibrations. Now sounded like more solid thumping sound.

Agree, I still enjoying the autofoam till now, after installation a year ago. Engine noise seem further away from the cabin & the rigid ride feel.. Can't wait to do the second round. The only negative point is the body roll feel which still need to improve. Are u still using stock rim & did u change the spring also??

Nah, everything is original...wanna to keep it that way for another year at least before i'll change aftermarket absorbers and 17" rim. smile.gif

I aslo did the sound proofing at the rear and front bonet. next is side doors, that should reduce the tyre sound in the cabin more.

Well, IMHO, I advice u to upgrade ur rims first, get the feel, then decide the type of absorber u want. Because I upgraded to 17" rim after autofoam,
the ride felt different again, even more rigid.. My preference is in between the two setting, not too soft & not too stiff.. I kinda' like the stock setting,
I might just change the 4 springs to lower it by 1/2" to reduce the body roll..  smile.gif
Btw, how much improvement by installing the front bonnet?? My friend, who is an enthusiastic dude, even go to extreme, by tinting his ride to 8 mils
thickness..  drool.gif  ( his ride is estima la.. worth it mah..  biggrin.gif )

Yeah i'll guess that is more sensible upgrade first for the rims/tyres. Look for those low db tyres will be a good help too.

As for the front bonnet sound proofing, the engine sounds a little quieter when tekan habis. Next proofing will be my wheel arch and side doors. smile.gif
