QUOTE(Quazacolt @ Sep 6 2014, 02:00 PM) not sure if i should, since this is mainly related to RCS suspensions Since jiu sei rike det, I will NEVER gonna put myself on RCS product, coz it will deter my dry grip besides the notion of wet grip able to perform while dry grip can't would raise a lot of questions which i am not sure if i'll be able to explain properly. it took 45 minutes for Clayton to knock it into my head after all lol. |

QUOTE(Quazacolt @ Sep 6 2014, 02:04 PM) On a serious answer:Soft is for comfort, able to absorb rough road condition, able to change shape to accommodate water puddle Hard side walls is extremely good for flat road surface. Set aside the noisy rolling resistance noise, it provide exellence dry grip when the road is absolutely FLAT, such as quality race tracks. So, on my SERIOUS question, does your question lead to an argument of soft/hard sidewall does not fit whichever kinda DRIVING condition? |

We upgrade tires and we feel that we can go twice as fast, but turns out is not the case Keep in mind that the Max. Perf. tires in this test were also wider (225 vs. 205) than the "crappy" OE tire! (As a side note, a stock car on stock tires may not even get that far as the all season M+S tires should give up a lot earlier and the car will slide instead of rolling. But let’s leave this discussion for later). http://forums.tdiclub.com/showthread.php?t=133342&page=3 |

davidke20, sorry to ask you about insurance. Need your advice.
Both Persona and Preve's is insured with my name. Persona is Allianz, Preve is Takaful Ikhlas. Current Persona NCD is 30% where as Preve is getting 25% when I renew this November. Question: 1. I did not transfer NCD during Preve purchase, salesman appears to be lazy to attend to these procedures. Can I exchange NCD between both cars? 2. Will I need to repurchase Persona's insurance when I exchange NCD? 3. Does it make sense to exchange NCD, if this can be done? My Preve's suggested insured amount (from Takaful Ikhas) is RM77000, premium RM1711 after 25% NCD. If without NCD is RM2268 |

QUOTE(beyond86 @ Sep 6 2014, 11:06 PM) Thanks. Then I believe it's not worthy to transfer. Right now I have 30% on Persona and 25% on Preve. Doesn't justify to bump Preve NCD to a mere 5% more discount but lose NCD on Persona. I was hoping that it can be exchanged instead of forfeiting one. |
