Changed to the Sapura Pro Ride shock absorbers today.

Bad news so far: the front left is higher than the right by almost 1 finger. The car is also much lower at the front than expected, with about ~2 finger and <1 finger gap for the front left and right respectively. doh.gif No proper measurement cause I didn't bother looking for a tool to measure.

Good news: The ride is still pretty damn comfortable. Cornering is... slightly better now. The set is definitely not very stiff compared to the OEM shocks and springs. I don't know what percentage to give for the improvement, but the car stays flat enough to my liking during corners for now. If my memory serves me right, it's kinda Suprima-like now in terms of cornering stiffness.

Still waiting for the day to get the Evo 6 brake servo installed. I don't really feel that excited anymore about it though cause the people at the workshop have been talking about how some tried to use Evo 6 on their cars and after installation and all, it doesn't work. "The brake cannot be pressed", or so they say. sad.gif

My feelings so far: Half regretting the purchase now as going for IMP "Comfort" Absorbers + my original springs may have been a better combination. The seller and Zordaq told me to give it a few days first to see if the car eventually goes to the same height for the front. I'm hoping it does cause I'm not really interested in spending my time waiting for the shocks / springs to be replaced.

I see. Yeah they don't really have enough people. I would suggest that you call Zaki to verify it the noise is a problem or not. I know mine didn't have any weird noise at all after the change. It was even done by a foreman that is the least experienced among them.

Previously I complained about screeching or squeling sound when braking at low speed just after changing my new brake pads. I google searched and found about brake bed in or conditioning method. I did this , speed up to 100kmh, press on brake pedal fully , but not until the ABS is activated, slow the car down until u get 20kmh speed, don't stop completely, speed up again until 100kmh. Repeat this 8-10 times. But make sure to do it on an empty stretch without cars. It does significantly reduced the braking squeal and high pitch screeching sound.

Yes yes. Before this quite loud. Now it become like more dull. Less sound. After few minutes driving no screeching at all.

Your persona has screeching sound too?

Nope. Mine has a low frequency noise and vibration when cold. The foreman of zordaq removed my brake insulation layer yesterday and now it sounds less solid. Kinda regret asking them to open the brakes cause I just wanted then to re adjust the insulation which wasn't seated properly.

Low frequency sound when reversing and braking at low speed?

Actually where is the insulation layer located? I'm not sure mine has it or not.
