What a day?? I usually like to stay and see how everything is done. But due to work commitments, I had to leave my car at the workshop and collect it on when it was ready.
I did mention earlier I think that I will be getting the BR series which is 1 series better than the V1 according to the website and my mechanic. I bought it in Singapore and after conversion plus workmanship including whatever tuning and alignment, I paid slightly over RM3k. Not to mention I did my brake upgrades as well and my mechanic gave my a fair discount. Haha. I did ask around a few sellers in KL but they said they need to order BR series as they only have the V1 series. I might have paid more than the price in Malaysia if you can find any. Haha. Does anyone knows what is the price of BR series in Malaysia if you can find any? Some sellers said it will be less than 3k but they themselves weren't very sure.
Ok. So it was 10k front and 6k rear. Car is lowered. Really low compared to my previous DC2R absorbers. Only 1 1/2 fingers. Haha. And the stiffness isn't set too hard according to my mechanic.
1st impression... Got into the car barely 10m at less than 20km/h, I could feel the difference. I don't know the correct terms la but it was like "sticking" to the road. I did the 3 test Izso told me to do. It was nice and again the difference was like heaven and earth if not heaven and hell. Haha. Then I tried a 90 degree turn at about 70km/h. Whoohoo!!! No words to describe. I didn't feel scared at all. It was easy. I liked it immediately. I didn't feel any fear at all. However, to be honest I have not pushed it to the limits yet.
Now, let's talk about the downside as what some would say but not me. I can kiss good bye to the comfort. Even those irritating yellow lines are enough to make your stomach feel odd, again I don't know the word to describe how my stomach feels. Hahaha. It was fine for me though. I think it's a matter of time to get used to it. If I can't, I'll just drive slower on those yellow lines as we are supposed to slow down when we see those lines. Besides that, I also feel that driving on uneven roads isn't what you would like. I don't like it as well. But I think I can live with it.
In a nutshell, for me, the pros are enough for me to not bother about the cons much.
However, I really think that whatever setting has been done is absolutely fine was the front. It's just the rear that is not "good" comfort wise. Only the rear, "hops" on uneven roads. No complaints about the front.
Do you guys think I can do something about it now? I mean by playing with whatever that can be adjusted without changing the spring rates.
