Eh, I did not say comfort ok.. I said sedap n solid, kereta lumba feel... cornering sharp n precise... I likey... but now wanna try comfort setting after almost 1 yr with gab. If want more solid feel later, ask unker richard mod it... thats the beauty of hand build abs...

What was miuk's spring rate? Same as Amin's right? 7-5 if I'm not mistaken.

yes 7 5, but damper and rebound rate diff i think. uncle richard said probably due to 16 inch with 60 profile rate. the tyre bounce
fyi, the satria neo that we test drove with 8k 5k spring rate , more comfy than richard's car, it hard, but it wont jump too much when doing low speed. the tyre pressure at 37psi!

hehe, same as me. but as i mentioned before, that would be the first setup for Miuk. give the abs time to settle in and later come back and give more feedback to titan and finetune.. not a problem..
hehe, maybe xai can provide your feel on the titan ride u tested?
of course, feel n comfy or sedap is subjective and dependent to personal taste. but at least u got the option to try many settings before settling in..

Ok here's my reviews on titans after installing it on my car and testing Amin's car and my friends lancer... also drove both Titans gymkhana racing satria neo and their stock spring + inverted monotube persona
My car:
I'm currently running 7mm/kg front and 5mm/kg rear, with medium setup on the absorbers. Running Bridgestone Turanza ER33 on stock rim (205/60/16)
Handling is superb, car feels like its on rails even with comfort tires. Slight bias to oversteer but never out of control. Wai Loong from Titan took my car out for a test and first time my car can drift. You can wack corners like nobody's business and that's on crappy tires. If put sport tires I believe that the grip will be amazing.
Downside is the ride is slightly harsh but not as bad as XC's setup due to the benefits derived from a properly setup absorber design (long technical story is needed to explain inverted monotube characteristics vs others). Also the car feels bouncy, as explained by NZH, this could be due to the fat sidewalls using our stock tire size, as Titan explained, the bounce could be due to the sidewalls bouncing rather than the hard setup. Infact with when using sport tires, the ride can be harder but with less bouncy effect. Going through bumps and potholes no issues. I believe more fine tuning is needed once more driving data is obtained.
Compared to Amin's setup i believe grip is almost on par with his but due to his longer finetuning, i believe mine is bouncier.
Compared to my friend's lancer, i believe this would have been the setup that I would have chosen, running 6-4 spring rates (cant really remember the absorber setup but basically my friend wanted a medium overall setup), the ride still grips nicely but no harshnest at all.
Titan's Satria Neo:
Amazing handling on 45 series profile tires. The setup is for gymkhana and time attack competitions and is also used by Wai Loong for genting touge. Bias towards oversteer but still very controllable (NZH almost killed me in the car when he was drifting on a sharp lefthander at the trying to enter the shoplots, long more way to go before takumi level in Initial D, counter steer fail). But in the hands of Wai Loong, the setup is amazing, XC riding shotgun, my brother and I at the back seat. Amazing G force felt during the corners and controlled drifts at the shoplots. Good ride through bumps and potholes. If you guys have the chance a ride or drive in the satria neo is a must.
Titan's Persona:
Using everything stock except for custom absorbers. Comfort of a stock car is still there but good handling. Handling is good enough till the passenger riding shotgun was swinging around in the car. However, bear in mind, the chassis and basic handling by proton is already good, changing to Titan's made it better (but then proton already did a good job at the start).
