I think they have front arb for BLM or u can check UR website for more detail.
However,
If u dont drives all out, the 2 point bar in the engine is enough.
It hugely reduces understeer and with my rear spring, it induces oversteer which is why the rear arb is installed.
The front 2 point bar will increases the response to your steering input.
With the rear arb, the rear is much more in check and the handling limit is capped by my stock rim and tyre size.

i plan to form the chassis as well... not sure will improve NVH or not? will it cause rust on chassis?

Hi all, this question wouldn't be a new one, but it was an important decision none the less faced by all of you when shopping around and eventually buying your BLM, FL or FLX.

I came face to face with the predicament that my trusty 15year old Tiara suffered a major breakdown due to a faulty timing belt. 4 teeth of the belt gave way eventhough the belt was still in good looking condition and driven only 30,000km and 3 years changed. So due to the major repairs and it not making any economical sense anymore, i decided to scrap the car.

Now after searching, budgeting and with the opportunity to drive a rented BLM Std Auto in Langkawi 2weeks ago, I have decided and with the consent of the missus, to buy a Saga. After shopping around, I found a dealer who has stock for the BLM B-Line Solid White paint for Rm34,999( and a good discount on top of that) only the car has the most basic of accessories, or opt for a FL Auto Executive Rm43,298( with an even better discount in order to help clear stocks) or lastly a FLX Manual Executive Rm42,398( with a little token discount as this is the latest model and such discounts are rare), so given my choices, which car would you all purchase and why? Please help, i am going to book the car next week around Thursday.

All input is well appreciated. Btw, any of you are using FLX CVT? Any feedback? Tks!

feel sorry for your tiara, its hard to tell about parts, its happened to me once at my previous car.
from my point of view. dont buy blm or fl. go straight to flx. for 1.3 i guess take the cvt. also if you care to wait for 1.6 flx, manual and cvt are both good.

if you can ask asr one of the flx owner here in this forum. that would be batter.

Tks bro dabdab, still viewing thru, the Blm B-line still attractive due to the pricing, but FLX is interesting with the Abs and Ebd for Exec model, maybe i gonna try ask for a better discount for the FLX and go for that.

agree with bro dabdab.... go straight to Saga FLx...... the new gear box will give a better FC. Proton declared... at 3K rpm FL will record a speed of 100km/h while FLx will give you 120km/h which reflect higher speed at lower engine revolution that will return better milage at the same speed. Further more you get ABS & EBD compared to FL... to bad my dayghter bought the FL few month too early. But still i am enjoying every km on it.
