btw, if someone knows about camber setting. My Civic FD rear right camber runs to -1.75 liao. Cannot adjust camber unless change the entire lower arm (that's the design if want to change camber)..

Is -1.75 for Civic FD stock setup still ok or not? Change to a RM400 local adjustable arm last time....but after only 1~1.5 years, kong. Had to change back to stock arm. Waste of money. Can change 1 tyre liao.

Don't know if other aftermarket arm good or not (HardRace, etc)? Or else can live with with -1.75 if not getting worse.

if you maintain proper tire rotation, -1.7 camber is still within acceptable margins and no need to spend for rear adjustable camber kit (after 3 rotations, all 4 tires would get the slight additional inner wear anyways)

consider having both rear left/right toe in 1mm/total 2mm toe to even the wear a little as well (and having better driving stability)

Thanks for the info. Solution seems simple and yet helps save a bundle that way besides the headache of new kits failing after some time.

For stock setup, at what range can the camber goes before it is deem necessary to switch to adjustable camber kit. It is so that I can monitor if the camber get running out to greater range before drastically affecting ride.
*
by right is not more than +/- 1 degrees (or 0.5 degrees if you're ocd)

however if you do take corners hard enough, -1 or -1.5 degrees is highly recommended as you'll wear the outer tires more. (even more when you toe in for added stability)

since for your case is only 1 side, you can just monitor/rotate it more often and it'll do, with additional toe in being recommended.

goodyear tahan because its much harder than others that is soft. currently using kumho and continental. continental is shit even when the price is higher than kumho. lack of grip. not much quieter than kumho even with the so called noise breaker.

of course! it is designed to travel to the moon. solar radiations/flares also no problem.
high pressure/density space vacuum is also nothing towards a vios' chassis integrity.

please look for alternatives.

assuming you're not into serious performance, can consider (in no particular order):
toyo nano energy 3
michelin xm2
yokohama c drive 2
yokohama bluearth ae01
bridgestone ecopia ep200
neuton nt8000
nitto NT830

if you want to try out some performance tires and have no issue on additional nvh:
Yokohama s drive (on serious throw price promotion)
nitto neogen
Michelin PS3
hankook ventus v12
goodyear eagle f1 directional 5
Achilles ATR sport
Achilles ATR sport2

if you still want performance level tyres and cheapest one at that, from quazacolt list, I guess the only one that qualifies with "budget" price and STOCK size is the value for money aka performance Yokohama C-Drive 2, obtainable at RM190~Rm200.

The rest of performance tyres especially in his performance list are higher priced....on par with their performance and most importantly for stock size kaki.....not available in 195/60/R15 size.

btw. V12 should no longer in production, all old stock. Still waiting for the arrival of V12 evo 2 version.
*
i did mentioned throw price on the s drive.
japan made s drive, at the same price (not joking) as philippines made c drive 2.

it's under YHI official pricing and they want to regain market share for the UHP category.

Don't believe can ask bro nestum
but of course, being directional and basically UHP/performance oriented, increased in NVH is to be expected.

alternatively, there's the ever popular/cheap and cheerful ATR sport/sport 2 nod.gif

I'm also indicating if wan stock size coz most HP and UHP does not have our stock size with 60 height.

Does S-Drive have stock size 195/60/R15?

If got, darn regret getting toyo ne3 when I can have a go at S-Drive with RM200 pricing..
*
got 195/55/15, you're not missing much from 5% profile off 195mm width

however if you insist on 60, then no they don't have 195/60 sizes

So do you think i shud just change the absorber ?
I want something which went going over bumpy roads will give a more gentle thump rather than the hammering sound n feeling on the stock absorbers.  Like those on conti cars.
*
stock KYB or something lo...
smaller rims with thicker profile tires will also help. don't go install any additional chassis stiffening bars.

you die die want conti feel, pay conti price that offer technologies like digressive damping (google/youtube on that term)
or better yet, get a conti car lo, definitely got conti feel and smell.
