HELP ME...!! VERY THE STRESS..!! Outer tyre wall or inner one? Maybe your rims' offset not correct, or rims + tyres too wide for your car, resulting in 'protruding' tyres and rims -> scratches... worse if your car's fully loaded with people... Like example, a QQ with 20 inches rims and huge tyres...

hey bro jes... how is the strut bar??? any difference in the handling?? Hi hi... Handling, car feels more stiff when going into corners... would be good if I can stiffen the suspension and lower slightly like maybe 2-3 cm... haha.. ONLY worry about humps in this case, especially when I have 5 people in my car....

What's your tyre size? Perhaps next tyre change can use a diff aspect ratio..

Stiffen the suspenion a little would be good, more direct power from engine to car when moving off... I suspect some energy absorbed by the cushy suspension, plus Rio is a heavier car... that's why power and response not as superb... Handling is ok. Like the cornering... waiting for $$ for new tyres... haha... so that I can use my new rims... really pity... if bro taiyang were to dekit in December, I would definitely get his rims... one of the shortlisted rims in my list.. plus the tyres are what I want.... SIGHHHHHHH Don't know when going to JB.. want to buy some DVDs and nothing happens to my car while I am doing my shopping....
