I was in Klang to change to 17in AC replica rims, Falken tyres and since they had Eibachs I thought I'd try those first due to the lower cost and the fact that I think they offer more comfortable ride than coilover. However when they removed the older springs they found out that my left driver side absorber has been worn (they have slower response) while the left rear has leak... it was a bit too late to cancel my Eibach purchase since I already paid for it so now I need to look for replacement abs. I was informed that the front absorbers are quite expensive (around 1k for the pair) & the rear is approx RM600 for the pair (ouch) so I'm temporarily using the older absorbers. The comfort is still there and car holds on to the road better due to the wider tyres but I do feel a slower pickup (expected). The nice part is that the car looks better now <img src="data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7" class="smilie smilie--sprite smilie--sprite1" alt=":)" title="Smile    :)" loading="lazy" data-shortname=":)" /> No more wide gap at the front. I've been monitoring my petrol usage over a few days (can't really tell an accurate reading since I just changed to a bigger set of rims/tyres today) but for 1/4 tank used I'm getting approximately 150km so full tank is estimated to be 600km.</blockquote>
