First i change the spring to GAB lowered spring, more stable a high speed but still not enough for me , then change to Satria Neo GAB HA series Adjustable Suspension . The handling is very good . FYI, my car already clocked 95,000 KM , and i travel a lot betwen Seremban-KL-Kuantan_Kertih. Right now , i confident to take corner but still take precaution as the tires could be the constraint for the grip rather than the suspension. The rides is not as comfortable as the OEM suspension .

btw, since we in the same topic....

I found out that gen2 shock absorbers are actually lower than Persona's by about half an inch + / -. The spring seat of the gen2 absorber is lower.

Hence, i think that is why we see gen2 cars on the road being lower than Persona a weee bit.

U can try the spring rubber insert thingny.
Its cheap but need periodic replacement.

i feel the absorbers is just nice....balance between comfort and slight performance when u want....but recently i change my tires from stock conti cc1 to michelin PP2......PP2 felts more stiffer and whenever i go trought uneven road, it seems more shock in the cabin....and air pressure i pump around 235kpa-front, 215kpa-rear......

I think standard is good balance between comfort & some handling. But feel itchy to try other brand...suggestion?

Also, thinking of front strut bar and upgrade anti roll bar
