Is that why most Euro car got wider tyre than the jap?

Press one time to turn off the DTC,
press one more time and hold it for 3 secs,
you will turn off all traction control

I quite like it slow with our setting.
Yes indeed, quite enjoying the stiffen chassis feel through the long slow corner bend

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.....
Sorry, I am Ricky.

Sprint booster just let you accleration response faster than normal.Then you ma feel faster than before.
Sway bar is the way to improve If concern about cornering only.

jacky, if you really want comfort, don't touch on rims, suspension and lowering car. Or you will be just like me that my wife always complain.

I agreed Ricky, sprint booster is just for imporved the acceration response. Sway bar improve the cornering. But both are not affect the comfortability much.

But if you want to change the look to become more aggressive, such as bigger rims, lowering the cars, the ride comfort should be less.

By the way, welcome to join our e60 family,

Keith: i use Re001. I am considering just change back the rear spring to OEM. What do our members think??
