QUOTE(331782880 @ Apr 29 2015, 09:17 AM) New Vios Batch 1,2,3 few problem and already been confirm by SC, the root top sound proof as well. bring back to your purchase car SC and make a complain, they should be adding sound proof for your root top for free and change the "Leg Arms" as well if not mistaken. *Friend work inside SC told me about this. how do we know which batch is the car came from? a question, is there any reputable replacement absorber/spring for the new vios? I am asking this because, the car will be for long distance purposes and it will carry quite a load including 5 adults. I do notice that if the car is fully loaded, the rear end will squat and hence will definitely affect the handling of the car. Any suggestions? |

QUOTE(RoxyMunky @ May 4 2015, 08:29 AM) the hinge was design for stock door weight. with additional soundproof weight, i doubt that there is any solution to it.  changing either the absorbers or springs will definitely void your warranty on this 2 item. at the time being, perhaps a spring buffer would help? thanks for the reply brah. how much would spring buffer cost nowadays? Any specific brand to look for? and also, usually, most new gen vios owners will increase their rim size to either 16s or 17s. What is the most suitable size and rim spec for an upgrade? The standard 15s are too soft and too 'empty'. lulz |

QUOTE(RoxyMunky @ May 4 2015, 10:12 AM) i think these spring buffers cost around RM250-450, depends on brand. FYI, i never use it.  for vios, i think max 16's with 205/55 profile; else it will be stiff riding. the stock 15s are soft, hence provide a "comfortable" ride. When you go for low profile rubber, you know its not that comfortable at all. My other is current on 215/45/17... man its really not comfortable. ouch.. quite expensive for a spring buffer. I think 205/55 is a little bigger hence, the speedo would deviates a little. I was wondering if there is any 205/50s or 195/55s. yeah.. low profile is no comfy. My current rides on adjustables on 165/50/15 on 7" wide rims. thanks for the input.  |
