eh not teh tarik at tanjung rambutan ya?

cannot also, i NEED lowered springs to have better center of gravity because saga/iswara chassis is just horse shit when it comes to cornering stability/body roll. (hopefully SOMEDAY people will fail to snap my car wheelie anymore lol)

so yea, basically drew the line and settled with the best of both worlds - progressive springs and short stroke sport absorbers

oh btw just checked my engine bay (while checking some other things as well)

c drive 2 traction is good, grip so-so though.
by right you should be getting better FC since they boast low rolling resistance with their orange oil technology so it *may* be something else, or the good year (or whatever tires you had previously) had really poor grip AND traction which results in better rolling hence better FC.

then again, most enthusiasts would agree however that better traction is needed so the power transfer from engine > transmission > tires > road is maximized. the only thing is that these situations aren't very applicable in city start/stop or cruising situations

comfort/NVH wise, still the most comfortable tires i've been on although i havent tried neogen/Advan DB yet.

c drive 1 ke? nowdays almost all of yokohama's tire are using their orange oil technology, even their recent AD08R tires that i am bulking lol

ya lot the old c drive lo, that is correct.

c drive's are still being produced btw, some people prefer it for its harder compound/slightly better performance than c drive 2, although funnily, yokohama officially rates c drive 2 performance being better than c drive

rofl that could be very much the case, more so when there are no external rating for a baseline (eg: DOT ratings) XD

OMFG i thought i broke my drive shaft/cv joint while exiting a corner... there was a loud grinding sound that persisted
paused my audio and the noise didn't seem to come from my car. looked around and spotted a honda civic fd2 having its tailpipe/muffler grinding against the road with a lot of sparks

i was pretty much self giggling right there that i forgotten to up shift back as i downshifted to overtake him as i scare his muffler will break and smash my car LOL
rpm went up to 7.2-7.3k by the time i realized the loud engine roar and up shifted accordingly ^^;

oh and driving now in my car sucks, no cabin filter, haze everywhere while on the way to work

actually even hnr didn't make for iswara officially (can see their webpage) and i believe eibach's the same.

it's our LOCAL distro bringing our car's springs/spec samples to the folks at Germany for them to produce a spring for our cars, tested it etc, and sell them only available to local market (again, unofficially if i may add)

=edit=
if you want the best comfort with the lest worries of tires hitting fender etc, no matter what, stock springs from the car originally will still be best (springs can easily last over 10 years barring freak accidents, btw)

lol mine is very similar too, with a HUGE ASS >10kg battery

not DIY though cuz im bad at DIY

not really, lol.
i have stiff ring too and the effects can vary depending on how the lower arm is designed for each cars.

hell if you think of it, considering the chassis flex less, no free play, if your steering does vibrate, installing stiff ring may as well make your steering vibrate more

my car is the very first iswara that installed it, prototype for other iswaras. so...

that's why i mentioned suggestive ma. i've posted my review for my car on the stiff ring thread (need to dig it up lol)

for the money i paid, its good la. and the stiff ring so far haven't deform unlike how some people's stiffrings are especially when compared to reputable tuning brands such as spoon that are 2-3 times (or more) the price of stiff ring

and no sifu la, that time owner said iswara no sample, so asked me if i wanna do it since i was very interested in it posting on the thread. since i got special discount for being the first sample, just whack it lo lol

no la, manufacturer is actually some kilang that the owner knows lol. the owner is just like us lol

and no, the air craft thingy is BS la. if you put stiff ring on higher powered cars (say, around/over 200whp?) over time it'll deform LOL

for proton, no problem la, our car not much power pun w

we all have to go through that unfortunately

damn need to get ceratec from you but it's after i'm done fixing the timing oil seal/rocker cover leaks la XD
have to pass on this great deal

now a bit tight on cash

spending over a thousand bucks for even more detailing stuffs XD

actually it does, depends on your intake/carb/TB/engine condition
