if want silent and comfort, i guess it's AdvanDB or Michelin P3ST (note: It's Primary 3 ST, NOT THE SAME AS PS3 - Pilot Sport 3)

i have just changed to CDrive2...ok for comfort and noise (but after half used, dunno lar)..but comfort wise, probably CC5 is still better, but CDrive2 supposely have better grips in wet condition. So far, driving my CDrive2, haven't encounter aquaplanning yet...last 2 days heavy rain....maybe still new gua...but i have experience quiet a number of aquaplanning on my old CC5 with about 40km usage...maybe old liao, can't remember how it performs when still new.

nah just cosmetics and the rebounds going over bumps nod.gif

Sample formula:
---------------------

stock = 185/55/R16
Ride height = 185 * 0.55
= 101.75

new = 215/65/R16
Ride height = 215 * 65
= 139.75

So your height difference is 139.75 - 101.75 = 38mm

eek my wrong calculation last time sweat.gif

So is the rebound suppose to be better?? Means comfortable rite?

Er bro, stock is 205/60/R16 lah.

205 * 0.6 =123mm

New is 215/60/R16

215 * 0.6 = 129 mm, 
So difference= 129-123=6mm only!!! smile.gif  You sked me lar!!! 38mm!!!
