QUOTE(McFcker @ May 9 2014, 02:30 PM) how much the cost for changing the front springs to Neo's one. Still considering to change springs or shocks first...budget budget  QUOTE(TDUEnthusiast @ May 9 2014, 02:33 PM) How much are they? I think if changing springs are enough, then just change the springs.  Save money  TDUEnthusiast, u meant the springs? For the springs i got it from somebody else who was changing their Neo CPS to fully adjustables.. But u can always opt for Proride or Sapura springs for Neo CPS.. The design are the same actually.. So its just plug and play. It also reduces the front wheel clearance by around 1cm too.

QUOTE(then17000 @ May 9 2014, 04:06 PM) stiff and hard is not good? i tought the stiffer it is than will have better handling but of cost the comfort will reduce..  Yeah stiffer, but it becomes too hard, ended up ur car becomes really bouncy.. Because eventhough the springs become much harder, the absorber is still stock, so the dampening rate like out of tune.. Cant match..

I just checked and it seems that an original set of Satria Neo front springs is only RM90 (CPS or not not stated) from airlines  . That's pretty damn cheap.

The Elegance version however...... I think would look better without it as well. SV however... I don't like how they decided to paint the middle bits of the door in the body color as well  . It looks very weird.

just wondering, do Persona's automatic transmission have protection towards sudden gear shift from D to P gear while the vehicle is at driving speed.  would the parking pin simply explode or some sort of protection mechanism kicks in?
