this one you may go back to Proton centre to do it.. but if you are looking for tuning in external shop, it depend on your trust and skill of mechanic.. if u want more power, cant just doing 1 thing and increase the performance significantly..

basically i will advise not to do anything as it is a waste of money.. keep as stock as possible.. i will rather spend my money on better tyres such as michelin PS4 or Primacy 4..

the reason i said so is due to i have some members installed so much of stuffs just to try to improve performance.. yes, it do feel a bit difference.. but wont make your car fly in the end.. if you are Preve Turbo Premium of year 2014 basically much improved, no need do.. if yours are first batch between 2012 to 2013, maybe you can do..

i see, mine is 2015 preve turbo full spec and just wanna try the fb famous guy with ECU tuning, drex something

yesterday did the manual guided CVT adapatation, quite surprised by the difference though sweat.gif

Too big and your tyres will scrape the arch even on small slope or pothole. You could barely minimise it with 215/50/17, but that would also touch the wheel arch occasionally.

Speaking from past experience. The best would still be stock 205/55/16 for comfort or 215/45/17 for improved handling.

ok, gonna stick with the current setup then...

rim are 8jj, 225/45/17 shud be good too right? does it improve handling at the expense of drag? coz tires are wider sweat.gif

if those are still stock hose and clip then expected to replace for 6 years bro.
i got mine replaced 4 years old down the road.

i think the reason it broke is because im using "S" mode a lot and driving / pushing too fast.
now driving a bit more gentle and avoid using that "S" mode.

how to use s mode?

how do u engage it?

correct, as per image.

S mode will lock gear in higher RPM and higher pedal response.
but got a lot of negative damage as experienced by using it, now i'm staying away from using it.

ECU tuning or Remapping which pushes your engine beyond stock setting might also be a factor to faster weardown of parts.

when does one use S mode? climbing hill? accelarate?

You saw this from dréx / ea workshop ya?
Did some Google fu earlier... But don't think it will affect hp directly, not much info out there at all. Do share if you actually tried it out.

Im not into performace much, but it does shows some improvement on dyno charts...im more interested in the voltage supplied not dropping whenever i turn on aircond etc...like right now, if i want to go abit faster, i usually turn off aircond to get some "power" 😂

good morning guys, last week, i have replaced my stock proton preve absorbers to KYB ULTRA RS, but retain the original coil

thinking of replacing the spring as well, should i get the original coil or get a lowering sport spring like eibahc sport pro kit?

any suggestion or review are welcomed...
