Hi Mo

Thanks so much for your comment. Your comment is very valuable to me. My trend may be to retain the 17 tyre and stock suspension due to various reasons (family, money, ...etc) but I will probably install the SB and Sway bar.

How about your issue? Your wife already get used to your 19"?

Alan, if you really want comfort, the sway bar and SB are OK mod thats you would not regret, in balance between ride and comfortability.

For my issue, i just admit that it would be my mistake to change to the wheels and no next time.

Don make it wrong, I am a responsible driver and I never drove at 150Km since I got the license.

Mo, I don't think this is a "mistake". The 19" is really good looking. You are already very lucky that your wife can drive and she has her own car. My wife did not have driving license and I only have one car, she depends on me for travel around.

My mod sequence:
Supersprint exhaust
Sprint booster
Sway bar
M5 steering wheel (maybe)
end of the story....
