wrong spring rate...

u need spring rate around 4-5k at front and 2.5~3k for rear....

problem solved
Okay, will keep that in mind. The rear coilovers already making some weird noise when im driving through bumps. Will look for that particular spring rate when im about service.

I had my old front abs redone, means cut open, service/change and now is serviceable. Rear are hilo only. Then friend offered me his D2 coilover which he did not want anymore since his project car cancelled. Bought them cheap but even with softest setting still hard. Live with it for a few years already since the car nowadays rarely driven, but thinking of servicing my old set and change back......lol
So, if you install back the old abs, the rattling and stuffs wont be there anymore?Or is it something like, once they start to rattle, they gonna be there until you actually fix the real root cause?

If from the rear, how to tell if it's top or bottom?
similar method... if sound u hear coming from lower back... its lower arm or trailing arm bush... if from top rear of your head...its top mount..

Hi all,

Please help me decide between 2009 Mercedes c200k and Lexus IS250. Both unreg, recon.

Mercedes has more brand power in Malaysia ( people think its more prestigious)
Road tax is cheaper
Better fuel consumption
Relatively better resale value
Low reliability for a4 yrs old car
Bland interior


Lexus
More reliable
Smooth V6
High fuel consumption
Excellent interior
Great features
Reliability

Price is almost the same and rear leg room isnt a big issue for me...
