no way that is 1 car will not get, I dont like sports wagon and it is useless for me, I don't own a shop or need to move alot of things around.
for me it will be a 7 seater and fun 2 door car.
But with my dad driving the cars now it has to be 7 seater and 4 door car.

Pinguhk, for the tyres.

Unless they are willing to wait.

My car feels more punchy now. can easily climb up to 160km+

But the vibration during braking still there, the car shaked very badly at high speed braking,
Maybe the brake discs need re-service or somthing

Thinking the 545 brake for my next mod

that vibration has been there long time ago, process of elimination does suggest the discs are the most likely culprit.

at the last nd, someone said (think it was kenji) he knows someone who can custom make brake discs using high quality steel, worth considering.

I honestly question the quality of HK made components. I had hub spacers made custom for my car, but after riding on them for a few days/weeks, they snapped and broke.

I am now using H&R and they are just fine...

The prices for US made components are quite attractive on the forums, and with the good feedback from other people who have installed it gives me more confidence.

Just my 2 cents.
