Yeah. Just the springs. The H&R Sport Springs i am using is the same as 308.

Bilstein and Koni, i checked already, there is any specification in their website for our 408. But 308 got. I think coz 408 is a China market car, those aftermarket parts manufacturer dont produced specifically for 408. But then again, your tunner can always do a cross check with the part numbers for you to verify is it fits (if they want to do for u).

I do believe our OEM Suspension already stiff enough to control the car, and sport spring can make it solid. Bilstein and Koni they have reputation in Continental Car especially VW, BMW and Merc..price can get cheaper if u buy it in singapore..singapore was an asean distributor.. smile.gif smile.gif

The H&R Sport Springs is just slightly stiffer compared to our OEM springs. Just that it lowers the car (for those who want visual appearance). Lower + stiffer = better road handling. And im enjoying it so much now.......

The issue with Bilstein and Koni is, if you check their vehicle compatibility list, you wont find a 408. Only 308. So, you wont know if that particular model can fit to our 408. Although 308 and 408 share the same chassis, and we can assume that major parts should be the same, but still feel is risky to buy things base on that assumption. Unless the shop people go the extra mile to help you do what they call a cross referencing, then only u know can fit or not. But most of the time, the shop wont do it, coz they also not sure you confirm buy from them or not. After the person tell you can fit, chances are we will all go shopping around for better prices tongue.gif tongue.gif

Normally if i want buy a part, i will try look the part no. Example for 308 Suspension Part No and Compare with 408 Suspension Part No. If this two sharing the same part no, i would not doubt to purchase it, better than asking the workshop. nod.gif nod.gif

Hi all, just went over to an authorised dealer to test one today. Very tempted. But as the test drive was not very long, didn't get to cruising speed. Can you guys tell me how much is the rpm at highway cruising speed?

Assuming cruise at 110km/j.
RPM around 2.7k
(408 Turbo 6 speed)

If for NA should be higher due to 4 speeder only.

Why so keen to know cruise RPM? This car is so addictive, you'll forget 110kmh and do much higher!

So Uncle ordi,getting 11km/L, ok aah!

Btw I drove my dad's Camry last week outstation. It was pure torture la. Step on the gas pedal,only hear the engine, damn car moving like those old diesel trucks! Can't understand Malaysian's love for this car,that includes my dad too! However the FC was 13km/L, amazing for a large heavy 4spd 2liter car!

The right pedal is indeed addictive. But have to do some research, for to convince my family purposes. The sales person said it's almost 3k rpm at that speed, seems unbelievable as max torque is achieved at 1.4k.

The catch word is achieved or I would say available .

It does not mean you are at max torque everytime you do 1400rpm. Crusing at 110kmh you are certainly not at max torque,although you may be just below 3K rpm, however max torque is available if needed. Step on the gas pedal and you'll feel the torque,due to low end setup This where the big difference is, on NA you have to get the RPM up to around 4500rpm to get the max torque, hence the pulling force is late!

Where else due to max torque available at low end on THP, will give that pulling force at 1400 rpm itself!max torque is available any time above 1400rpm if needed!

it is sad when it comes to this but like what energy analyst said, not everything is within their control. do bear in mind also the totally negative outlook on the brand and your model's acceptance when it comes to selling off time if public actions were to be taken. nobody wins. best to engage and sometimes, relating to them will be a better option. and yes, i can assure you, those guys at clic get yelled at everyday. so a soft word may in fact work in your favour.

imaging everyone screaming n yelling at them and here comes someone who empathises with them. wouldn't they be more receptive to sort out your issues? you may have other views like 'i am a paying customer and it is my right to yell if i'm pissed' then by all means do what you want to do but do bear in mind the consequences of such an action.

just my 2 cents worth on this.

After complaining to CLiC and chasing them up as well because they too didn't call me back as promised, I finally got an appointment....21st October. That's 2 1/2 months to fix an issue that they had already diagnosed. They said its recommended to leave it there for 2 days but noted it could take longer and there's no guarantee of them even taking a look at the other issues. The CLiC rep just said to let them know when I send it in. To me, she sounded like she's not even bothered with the other issues. Sigh.... sad.gif

The engine is being fuel staved. Could be a faulty fuel pump or related component.I would advise you toe the car to SC. It needs to be diagnosed with their diagnostic tool to pin point the cause.

I thought 408 has bigger butt and heavier, so the spring rating might be different from 308… may be the rear absorber of 308 is shorter??? brows.gif
