same price as new proton preve cfe with RM5800 discount brows.gif . Actually my first choice are forte but i notice that it is very difficult to find the secandhand car especially for the 6 speed model. so from my point of view, if this car are really difficult to find (secandhand) its show that this car are reliable.

wish me luck  blush.gif

Bumpy you mean as in hard suspension bumpy or floating up and down when cruising? If it is the later, try putting in the spring cushion buffer.

Sorry for being unclear. For 'suspension bumpy', you will be able to feel that your car is vibrating when you go through small pot holes, making you feel that you know where are the stones and uneven-ness. This is what happen when the suspension system is too hard and not able to absorb vibration.

However, from what I read, your case is rear suspension too soft. It goes up and down too much when you go though wave-ey roads and if you go thorugh bumps too fast. At the end of the bumps, the rear goes up and down, do not want to settle down.

I did complain in posts before that the rear suspension is too oft for my liking. It waved up and down when I go through a certain portion of Kesas. Especially when I put my parents and bro at the back. It is so hard to drive at that section when the rear just do not want to settle down and let me cruise properly.

I then added the spring buffer cushion. This is not the permanant solution, but it is definitely cheaper. The result might vary towards individual, but I am satisfied with what RM160 (2 pairs) does for me. At that section, no more bouncy. Yes, bouncy is the word.

The cushion is just a rubber ring like to be put in between your spring coils. If you go to shops, they will measure your spring height and diameter when they complete jack up your car. Front Spring is larger than rear for our car.
