I found it in JB  around RM2.2k, not really sure. I will post the pictures by tomorrow. Available in modulo, mugen, and mugen rr. Three types. You may search online also maaa..

Well, i travel to sg work daily, sure take better tyres to get comfortably. PS3 is my first choice but cant fit. Thats y go for xm2.

Change to Eibach spring would not void the warranty?

What material is the kit? RM2.2k is quite steep though.

I drove more than 100km daily too.. that's why I want to find something a bit more comfy. So going for XM2 but 15" only la. biggrin.gif The 16" bloody expensive. sweat.gif

Well im using nexen 6000...planning to change to S drive like ur profile...how is it compare to michellin?.

Grip on dry, during raining not too bad but not as good as PS3.

Also, tread habis quite fast... almost 18k mileage on it left approx. close to 50%...

BTW, for spring and absorber has anyone change?

Can share what are the damage likely?

Example (Not adjustable type):
1. Original parts for Honda
2. TEIN / Eibach / GAB

Which ones perform better any comment ??

Hmm...i heard michelin is very quiet and comfortable but the tread wear is very high..for honda city the springs option quite alot but for abs no much option...for spring all i know is that Eibach and H&R is available...Eibach is quite comfortable and the drop is just nice...on the softer side thou..H&R is stiffer and the drop is fierce..try google to see the difference...quite happy with the eibach coz its not too uncomfortable..nice drop...and it wont cause ur stock abs to spoil...as for the performance side..every sport springs will do their job given its a known brand but the difference its the comfort only

I thought XM2 should last quite long according to Michelin. I'm using a cheapo Yoko Adrive R1 now.. already drove 25K on it, I think still got like 40% - 50% thread. It's a bit hard and noisy, maybe that's why.

Got sport spring that focus on comfort?

175 is way too thin for our car but with 65 profile damn comfortable ride? Haha.

If you don't plan to change rim, 195/60/15 should fit I think.. its the closest to your current set up so the speedometer will not differ much.

I will change, maybe before end of this year. Haha.

195/60/R15 can fit to S Spec rim but will look like donut... I saw quite a number of S Spec using Continental CC5 195/55/R15, nice looking but not sure about the comfort and performance as compare to stock rubber

Not really focus on confort...i mean comparatively to other springs...different stiffness wat...of course most comfortable ones are the stocks....

Hmm...yokomaha Adrive the sides are flat...its harder compare to the rounded sides... but the good thing is when cornering its more stable...its more on sport...round edge is softer so it wont be so bumpy but when corner it will it wont be so accurate as it will compress more....thats wat the tyre guy told me...yokomaha more to performance so its design that way...i think michelin is the best d...but big hole in my pocket...

Planning to change to 195/55/R15 but the tyre shop don't accept to trade the 175/65/R15. Any one can recommend which tyre shop in KL/PJ accept this size trade in?
Or anyone interested on my 4pcs Michelin XM1 175/65/R15 (done 35000KM), PM me for best price smile.gif
