RD Spring installed

Got it done last night, first impression.

Feels like stock but about 10-15% firmer,

Better around corners much less body roll.

Cool. You did it at SF?

Is it bouncy at high speed? Others said it is bouncy on highway.

How much drop you have now noting it will drop more later.

BTW, we never saw your car here. Is is time you show us some photos?

Alright, wait for your update.

What kind of rims are you getting? Sorry if I asked you before.

Travel from western tunnel till Airport, speed between (100-110) speed limited here in HK.

Nice ride without the body-roll and as other member here with H&R mention,

I didn't found any jumpiest/ bouncing at high speed on front or rear.

Also try out Tuen Mun Highway as there is some road work. the road surface was handle nicely.

The drop is still around one inches. i hope it will go down abit more later.

Sounds good D.

I wonder if the highways here in HK are smoother than the ones in S. Cal. and elsewhere which other members found the swapped springs more bumpy. Or is it the rims? Since you still have the RFT.

Well, may be wait till your rims swap to give the springs a true test.

Or wait till I swap the H&R, most likely will get it done by next weekend.

BTW, D.

The CF-5 is very aggressive. I foresee you car will be heavily moded.

Hey D,

Do you think wheel alignment is required after springs swapped? The garage recommends me to do it and same for the H&R website.

If do it, I probably will do it a bit later after the swap. Wanna let them settle down before doing it.

Saw an E90 with the CF5 today in person. Really bad!!!!
