140 stable,, he he.

The car looks good on the spring.
Stable..yes
Steering feel...great, its direct now with no more delay
Low speed drive.....not good at all, its not that the spring is bad, its our road that is.

I am glad i get this set as its not too low which is what i am looking for the 1st place.
Best of all, the 4 point UR bar does not sag.

da ori damping is very nice for highways and high speed no floating at all.....bt for me its abit stiff for town use....for everyday usage i dont see the need to lower it no matter wat springs u use...ofcourse thrs always that 'looks' wen its lowered !

and bcos its a tall car...it does has da tendency to wind buffeting...

unless eibach got springs for flx , i wd never change springs...thy are jus the best springs interms of ride n handling balance...ive used them one my 3 previous cars n they r awesome!

Sorry its the normal AT FLX model. But for FLX CVT its 12 Sec. But to me its still slow because of lower weight compare to the other two models. So I am thinking of getting Preve but looking at its weight, i am doughtful on its fuel consumption.

The 1.3 does not produce much torque to begin with hence slower time.
The fl 1.6 cvt is quick but not that quick.cvt has a limit of torque it can handles hence eg tune the setting.
Blm 1.6 manual is running on 1.6 iafm campro.doubt they sold it to public as i can see them only in taxi guise.
Most probably they iust plonk in thensame manual gb like the pesona making thengb no fully utilising tha advantage of lesser weight.

Preve has loads of torque but the setting is not as agressive as the bold hence a rather tame driving experience.
Go test the bold and preve to fell what i mean.
