[QUOTE="zidee, post: 442390, member: 20151"] After so much of reading and consuming various inputs from forumners (thanks guys...a living knowledge database), I've decided to 'TITANed' my e39. Was at their workshop in Pandan Mewah since morning and ready almost 7pm. Too early to comment but I just would like to share some early finding : 1. Look The ride is rather high to me. Does not not look as nice with my 18" AC Type III Racing. Richard says let it settle down first and come back in 2 weeks times to get the right setting for height and pressure (soft or hard). What will be a nice height? 2 fingers front and back? Will it rub the fender? 2. Handling I can't comment much as i need to do "on wheel balancing" for my rim. Currently wobbling at around 80kmph. But some initial testing, cornering is superb (no more floating). braking more firm. steering response is good and take off is positive. Going over hump (speed breaker) is so smooth and no bouncing. Note : 1. Negative side is little firm on slow speed. Not smooth. I guess require some tuning later or perhaps my Eagle F1 is not as good as my former Continental with 16 inch stock standard rim (I'm impressed with Conti brand) 2. Titan setup use back original coil spring 3. You get 2 years warranty. Will update later after more testing and tuning. [/QUOTE]
