ok thanks... Most likely will change to 16inches. Hopefully will not affect the performance of the car.

HAHAH... saw bro TwinX's car...

18 inch rims is only the tip of the iceberg...

his comfort is not affected because he has also installed a whole set of suspension upgrades ranging from... er... let him tell you la if he come to next meet...

His car is something I think many would love to take apart to see all his ride improvement mods...

just his telling me what's in there alone already made me drool and urge him to stop... before I sell my kid to pay for the mods he did...

The 18 inch wheels are just icing on the cake man... and the cake is fabulous...

MCDS,

Don't like that leh.......later I kena chio to go lane 8........Me only go for looks and safety......improve road holding and braking is my main concern before I really mod the car.......I have a K block waiting for me in the garage now.........

But, now the road is not safe to speed anymore.......so just drive slowly........Any bro in here please don't chio me ok.......I will most likely signal and give way to you.....

Phuturist,

Actually I just collected on the 9 March, when MCDS saw me that day was only Day 10.........more mod to do........

List of mod at the moment :

18" rims
Lowering Springs
DC5 Anti-roll bar complete(Front and Back)
Wheel Knuckle to fit the complete front and rear big disc brake conversion
Open Pod Filter
HID
Rikecool
Fit back old speakers from old car.

So far no EMS(Engine Management System) yet, but will do that later. Totally different handling for the car now.......Few of my ES5 mates tried the car........love it so much as it feel different from the their set up........

Bro.. The DC5 anti-roll bar fits exactly for both front and rear? I was told only the rear will fit.. Was it the DC5R version?

But now with 18" rims, cannot pull off as fast as your 17"......but it was really fun yesterday at P21's Traffic Light. Pulling off together......3rd gear only can see that your car is faster.
