There was quite a bit of tyre squeaking noise going round bend. The road holding is much better than stock and it feels more like a 3er. C16, now u have another reason to upgrade to bigger rim and fatter tyres to stop that squeaking noise. U know how to find me if u want to burn some rubber.
Cos only me and pingu done this mod so far,
and we might be biased, wanna hear more comments from other ppls, especially you!

the car felt more solid than c16's old e60. as mentioned definitely much better road holding. I went round a down hill bend under full throttle w/o the car drifting. in terms of handling (you guys seem to have a different definition to mine), I didnt get the chance to really try it out (afterall, its pingys car, I didnt want to push too far) but during the short drive, the car felt quite neutral w/o much tendency to under or oversteer.

I enjoy the drive in last nite ND, thanks everyone! Unfortunately, I was too tired at 1:00am and cannot go to Sai Kung with you guys!
Nice to meet you guys too.
SongBill, thanks for sharing your knowledge regarding the E60 with me...
Jacky, welcome and seems you already start digging the hole for mods like me....

btw i'm still wondering which mods can satis me most on handling/control, or more specific cornering
but the main idea is to reamin the comfortable i have now....
speed and comfort, you can never have them both right?
i'm thinking if the shippy corner movement was because of the 16" rims???

Sprint Booster for speed, but it's feeling only and no effect for comfort.

which one do you mean by "it's feeling only and no effect for comfort"?
suspension, sway bar, sprint booster or the under car strut bar?
do i still have the same comfort level while on bumpy road?
sonce this is one of the reasons that i switched to this car
i just don't want to mod it back to feel like the car i had before...
please let me explain my exact problem here:
if doing left corner quickly, the car tilt left and right a bit after the corner
you know just like a jelly puddin.....
