[QUOTE="ssmann, post: 436372, member: 18956"] After getting Kevster to test my ride set up, was told that the rear shocks need to be adjusted by about 30% softer and the front by 20%. So a trip to Titan's yesterday. After 4 hours (the back shocks took forever as the seats need to come off!!!), the ride is now near perfect. Man, I tell you those Titans rock!!!! Here's what I did: - 1. Reduced front strut dampening rate so as the push back was gradual rather than super fast 2. Same for the rear, except much slower dampening rate 3. Increased rear shocks height to match the front, so overall, the car is now about 2.5" lower than standard stock. It was about 3" when I first installed the Titan's and did not like it too low 4. On wheel balancing for the front. No on wheel for the rear for fear of messing up the tranny 5. Front wheel allignment and adjust camber for the back. So no oversteer, swaying etc At 6pm rode on the KESAS highway from Pandan Indah heading to Shah Alam, in peak hour traffic. Thumbs up to the Titan shocks and allignment job. Car ride set up is now near perfect :top::top::top::top: I dare drive a little faster and take some risks that I never dared to do before. Maybe I need to register myself for Kevsters driving course la :eek: Thanks Kev for the tips!!! [/QUOTE]
