lol....i think 235/240kpsi also more than enough d.....250>> is too much.....how much is urs??....erm....persona cornering not as good as waja...tested 90km on the waja still ok abit of throw out....persona 80km like wana throw out d and cant go further even with 3point front and rear strut bar....

but waja tires are dunlop, persona stock continental.....both cars test on the same corners.....

but the waja i drive is 195/60/r15....hmmm...maybe suspension stiffer..lol...anyway..after u change ur tires to 55series, the car sure lower right??..is it noticable??....

my rs brakepads working fine..no screeching....when u change ur rs pads??..me around 22000km..now going to 25000km..but 1 thing i wana ask...y sometimes i do braking..got some rough sound from the brakepads???...normal??

hmmm...mine only rough sound/feeling...but right after i use rs pads...before that i was using bosch powerplus and some other brand...both no rough sound. for the bosch if i still can remember, there is no screeching sound but one day when i was speeding 160km and did few times of highspeed braking, the brake got spongy..so i change to other brand which is "KING"...after 6000km of usage, when i press the brake, the screeching sound occur but during braking time on stop and go traffic....

the brakepads that dosent produce screeching sound is the bosch powerplus and rapidstop....this is based on my experience on using it....but right after installation of rapidstop, sometimes it will make rough sound..wonder why.. ..but not of previous brakepads i had used...maybe its a performance brake?? but stopping the car on rapidstop pads are much much better than those brakepads i had used previously....

yea..it happens after long drive or traffic jam(previous "KING" brakepads))...but for my rapidstop pads..so far no sound, just the rough sound sometime will appear....no screeching sound..

kena poison ni... .....erm nope..just occur anytime....like mood...sometimes ok..sometimes no....

Added on March 1, 2009, 4:26 pm ....its ok for acceleration and fuel saving..but its dangerous when driving on wet surfaces and heavy rain as the traction is lessen due to the overinflated pressure u pumped for ur tires, worst still, it will skid when u do cornering during heavy rain/wet surfaces...so play safe bro...

try 230/235kpsi=front and 200kpsi/210kpsi-rear....im using it now and it feels just good for pickup,cornering,and also comfort as well....all i can say u have to reduce ur air pressure asap because 280kpsi is too much..

sure or not??... now persona more body roll...can minimize it with alignment??

coz tuned by cheeann mah... ....oklar..if got time will come over do my alignment...

mine chip off....around 5/6dots.... ....this time cut cost on paint....the thin coating is super thin..last time i put a bucket of water also minor scratches.. ...and then the windscreen also, seems that easily get chip off also if stones flying from lorries..but not on other car even old wira/waja dont have such problem ...last time interior & power window... ..i think few years time, the car sure have to respray again...

This post has been edited by loong2020: Mar 2 2009, 11:00 PM

the last time i ask for respraying the bonnet...cost 180....whole car maybe 1k++

well.....today when and fixed this problem...and mine also has the rusty line same like urs....added soundproof mat that is thicker and the sound gone....(for right now)....so guys if u have any rough sound occur around 1100rpm-2000rpm when u accelerating/free rev ur car...get the impact bar fixed... ....and on the way back, i didnt feel the 100km @ 2800rpm vibration....

hmmm...maybe u can try request for coating the steel hose with some rubber or soundproof mat (insulflex)....at least dont have metal to metal contact.... check out the soundproof mat sold....so imo...coating that can solve the problem as got no metal contact with another object and thicker too...

hahaha....yeah....now smooth acceleration unlike last time sometimes that stupid sound damn irritating....
