Alright bro now to drop the ride height by a few notches, slap on some nice exhaust tips and it's perfect (for me) haha.

Nice rims :becky:

thanks bro...noise wise...becoz Bridgestone Potenza RE050A is considered performance/sporty tyre, guess it will be louder than Turanza comfort/low noise tyres...

whether the ride is rougher or not...can't really tell leh...:whistle:

hahaha...if lower may have to sacrifice comfort...maybe later...exhaust tip huh... :hand: must wait for unker to take the lead...:becky:

RE050 will get progressively noisier as the mileage accumulates. I'm on Advan AD08 and the road noise is very evident but damn it sticks like glue to the asphalt!

265/35 sidewall still has a decent height - slighty shy of 195/50 but should be comfortable enough

Unker dun wanna exos tip!

boh lui to play this mod!

Want to do L/R - do with proper exos - $$$

With proper exos - need proper rear bumper and valence for the twin exos.

After rear bumper, car need side skirts & front bumper to finish off the look.

Dun forget all the front & rear bumpers need to accomodate the front & back parktronic sensors.

Then after the body kit, how about boot lid spoiler & roof spoiler to complete the sporty look.

Now Norman got 18" rims - the stk brakes begin to look a little puny front & back....kakakaka!

walan eh! U go & do the sums - dun wanna go & do the same thing all over again lah!

BTW U are right on the Turanza GR 90 tyres - they are really Comfort Premium Tyres.:hand:

A car is a like a mistress..... you know you can't afford it but somehow things happen.. lol

I DON'T HAVE A MISTRESS!

A mistress may end up taking 50%+ of your fortune (divorce), a car is more fixed cost..

No enough lowered!! Front another 15 to 20mm & rear 5 to 10mm. It's would run at all .

For sedan owners, up size yr rims shld go for lowering spring!! For e look & handling.

I told the SE I wanted AMG Sport Package and or Pana Roof.

I even asked for the Estate and also told no stock.

So in the end lan lan choose whatever that was coming in. :Cry:
