[QUOTE="ddv_nk12, post: 1063841467, member: 115822"] Lol... Not complaining but the response here is overwhelming. Thanks to all. I decided to test the handling again this evening. Then, I had a crazy thought while coming back from work. I am comparing my DB8 handling with a Satria R3 handling. Yes, I admit in the R3 I was more comfortable and confident in corners. But then, I was not as fast in the R3 as I was in my DB8. For example, I took a corner in the R3 at about 110km/h easily. In my DB8, it was difficult but I was travelling at about 130km/h. Not a sharp corner. It's a long corner. I started questioning myself, would I have felt that confident in the R3 at the same speed? I honestly don't know. Ok, I see many are asking what is the car for, track or street. Here is my answer. My car is not going to be on the tracks. If I ever had the chance, then maybe. But most of the time or all of the time, it is going to be a street car. So, what I actually expect is for the suspension to be good on the street. Like I mentioned above, in a long high speed corner, I should be able to take it at a higher speed confidently. If now I can take that corner 130km/h, with a better suspension, I want to feel easy taking that corner at 130km/h or faster. Same for sharper corners, I don't want that feel like I'm gonna be thrown to one side of the road. I don't know whether madman meant GAB Japan or Malaysia. Will check with him on this. I see that you have tried many different set-ups and I appreciate how you have put your experience in words here. Thanks. If a brand new Tein is about RM4000, I can get it, although it's gonna need more time. I also think it's wiser to get a brand new set then getting a used one and refurbishing it. I won't know how it was abused previously. But when I refurbish, will it be as good as new? Okay, now I know that Super Street is not so good in handling. HA and Flex is better. But may I know why you say Flex is better than HA bro? What are you using now? Bro, you said that it's ok to even go for local brands. Not to say I'm looking down on them but how about the quality of these local brands? In terms of durability? Rust (I just found out that we need to be careful on this as well)?? Another question bro, how to know the correct spring rate? I know those are some figures and I have also googled what those figures mean. Still don't understand. Mind to educate me more?

The Koni Yellow, is this the one: http://www.mudah.my/Adjustable+koni+depan+belakang+honda+ferio+eg+sr4-13122608.htm Another Tein HA fan... Starting to feel that HA is the way I should go. Bro, are you referring to GAB SS Japan or Malaysia? Why do you prefer the GAB SS compared to the Tein Flex? Why and how do you choose 12/10kgmm spring rates? Very nice of you bro. Where are you located? How nice if everyone is like you? Everyone with these suspensions, angkat tangan: 1. Tein HA 2. Tein Super Street 3. Tein Flex 4. Tein Mono Flex 5. GAB SS 6. Koni Yellow + Eibach spring 7. Aragosta (don't know why but I like the name) 8. Spoon 9. Any other suspension you think is good and recommend me You let me sit in your car and test the handling, I belanja you makan at mamak as long as less than RM10. Hehe. [/QUOTE]
