The cause = Honda's stock springs. Soft and bouncy as hell Last Monday while cruising at 180kph on Kesas at the corner to enter LDP there, my car's rear end swayed abit and the car was REALLY unstable

oh.. i also get that sound..
when go over some potholes... like that also..
like some suspension part loose like that..
lets ask roy.. hahaha

egie, stock honda springs are forever soft... quite dangerous la some corners..
especially those elevated highways, got the road joints sometimes not even, car dman easy buang when suddenly road drops or rises...

these goodyear tires should be good for grip right? wonder if the suspension is affecting the handling damn my car sux

edit: eh, anyone going for TT this coming friday? aman suria wor..

working night from thurs to sunday...sigh

The suspension system keeps the 4 tyres on the road and if they are not doing their job or doing a job beyond what they are built for, then even super sticky tyres will not help you.

Suspension setup is more important as it is the main component keeping your tyres on the road while negotiating a corner.

he whack his shocks dead liao i guess either that or stock city shocks too soft to dampen undulations

city and jazz have long stroke absorbers paired with soft springs..
not the best for whacking corners.. haha

Not City and Jazz only...I can confirm that

ES is also well known of bouncy rides

i'll be sending it in to check on the "loose" sound thingy.. ish.. headache

i've been having that sound for a long time..
if u know what it is, let me know...

ES is even bouncier than my jazz

but then, have to put into thoughts that.. our car are meant for normal driving, not racing la

I using 2 sets of EPS mar. I just wanna know if the GT's high beam is bright. If it's bright, can consider. Of coz i meant the magnetic H4 version.

My new Continental was slippery too, but after some friendly scrubbing process within it's limit, the front is very grippy now, the back still need some time coz my ride is FF, rear scrubbing is less compare to the front. Well, it's quite fun when it was slippery though.

Added on January 29, 2007, 11:02 pmWell, i always ask those fella in Weststar to tighten my under-carriage bolts and nuts everytime i go for servicing my car. So i guess thats why i do not have that prob, unless i forgot to ask them to do so, then sometimes will have that sound. Anyway, City/Jazz is never meant to be as comfort as the toyotas but who cares. Original spring and shocks not good? Meh, i had battle with those 17inch rollers for a mileage of 20000km+ before i lowered my ride and changed to 17inch. I find it that Jazz is fun to push within it's limits with stock 15inch and NCT5 tires.

ehehehe jackie so i guess its time for new springs??

muahaha, change to volvo la...that day i go penang and back 180kmph, no problems no swaying, in fact feel like crusiing speed only.......change car,change car...(u can buy mine)

anyway i can TT this friday or saturday, got major event at times square convention......sorry ah.....u wan can come...

i know that

i'm going to keep the car stock la since i drive my family around on weekends, it'll be bad to lose the comfort.

i'll very likely be bringing the car in to westar and ask them to check out if there are anything wrong with the bushes/arms whatsoever as well as getting them to properly check the front brake assembly as i've just got third occasion of the metal grinding sound 2 weeks back!

you can come, or cannot come?

porkchop work until blur liao

stock suspension and tyres fun right roy ?
haha

GT-HID Magnetic H4 ah?

you sponsor me then you know la

thinking of getting hi/lo with halogen hi. i found that i don't even play hilight now, just add RS bumper with spotlights and already

Yeah, very fun, the worst scenario was the 1st convoy to genting last year. 20 cars and i'm only on stock rims and tires. I have to negotiate the under/oversteer around the corners to keep up with them. But it's fun when you tap the throttle to push the car from understeer to proceed to the next corner with oversteer. lol.

very fun? o.O
