[QUOTE="RCBL, post: 356224, member: 15145"] Dear all, I have just refreshed my suspension with the following parts; 1) Outer Lower Arm Ball Joint (Near the wheel)=RM72/pc 2) Inner Lower Arm Ball Joint = RM50/pc 3) Lower Arm Mounting (M3 Type) = RM145/pair 4) Front Absorber Mounting = RM72/pc 5) Rear Absorber Mounting = RM32/pc 6) Front Damper = RM23/pc (Do not need as the B8 shaft is too huge for the ori damper) 7) Rear Damper = RM28/pc (This you need) 8) Bilstein B8 (monotube) = RM2700 9) H&R=RM1000 (Plus a Hypertune Mag for F.O.C) Results after 1 month of trial Driving Experience: Fantastic road handling on highways. Dont feel much body-roll now as compared to ori setup and highly recommended if you are serious about driving or at least enjoy driving. Downside, really need to go slow on bad roads. After changing my suspension, I have been driving slower on normal roads. Once the highway opens up......ecstasy! Tried a lot of bumps & ramps, cleared most. Probably due to springs (H&R) more than the abs. Look-wise: Layman terms, 1 1/2 fingers for the front and no fingers at the back. To be more exact, 3/4 of an inch for front and no gap at the back. The front does dip lower than the back. Hope this info would help any1 who is interested to upgrade their suspension to Bilstein B8 & H&R setup. [/QUOTE]
