Ricky and AK suggest to relieve the tyre pressure as they are 38kpa before. Now the tyre pressure adjust to 35kpa. Moreover, the sway bar was adjusted to soft setting. My ride was improved, but still not as original.. .

I know i can't change back all but hope this can help.

again, thanks ricky and AK

the 3 bars will be out of question of you, you would feel more of the road after installing them.
Afraid the complain noise level over 3 times after 3 bars installed. haha

Mo...maybe you can try the OEM springs, but the whole car will sit higher as a result.
Forgive me saying this, if you are looking for sporty setup, you must give up some comfort.
This is law of physics you know, you cant lowering the car and expecting the comfort as original
