Want to ask the bros & sis here, anyone find their ride too harsh and changed to after market shocks?
when doing cornering, eg yishun exit on sle, it seems like the car always understeer, previously with picanto dun have this problem. it seems like cant do a smooth cornering, also quite a bit of body roll, if tats is wat i feel. is it due to suspension?

Put strut bar ....
Aftermarket shocks more harsh....car body too heavy
Stock spring and shock is the best for comfort.
You want very good turning and minimise body roll, lowered spring or coilover of course at the expense of comfort....
So it is your choice...

Stock is always biased towards comfort. If that's what you call harsh, I don't know what to say. BTW, aftermarket ones won't make it any better as what you think it'll do.

linaivan, is up to you. If you don't believe just go and change it and feel it. after market like D2 or others band will give you harder shock and the comfort will gone.
After all not my car but please think care fully before change it

play with tyre pressure. can cut down understeer.enter corner with yhe correct lines. remember this slow in fast out and fast in and never come out. every corner had max. speed limit.

Errr....btw have u tried on such set-up b4? to what I know, the under/over-steer is more severe (whether track car or on-the-road car). it will be gd if somebody prepare to do such experiment.

Errr...we r talking abt "on-d-road" car here, not track car. Both have totally different set-up. The koni absorber that I mentioned earlier is meant for road usage not track usage.

BTW, aftermarket ones won't make it any better as what you think it'll do. that's not wrong man bro. btw, to what I experience, the stock suspension is soft, that's why under-steer. I'm puzzled how did linaivan find it harsh.....
