Hey Tom, its bout 10 months now since you posted this review. Just wondering how's the RCS holding up and if there's any shortcomings that you noticed in the context of their street setup. Also, what's the mileage you clocked and how is it holding up in terms of wear and tear?
I don't expect them to last forever, since its a wear and tear part..though I'm curious how's the lifespan like on our roads...and how much it costs to get them serviced.
RM5.5k for a complete custom street setup with data and full measurements is cheap. Very cheap. It's big money for most of us including myself, but for the level of service rendered its damn cheap. If Nanda & co. offered the same level of service done in USA or Europe would easily cost double and more. Props to Nanda for making it affordable for us locals.
first of all, i wish i had more time with the car. it's been kind of hibernating for the last 5 months or so pending some minor work to it. To be honest, the snippets of the impression i had with the RCS are still crystal clear. One would be the last exit of the Duke Highway where i was blown away by the sudden realization of how well the big BM handled, Finally.
It's almost like being able to see for the first time after being blind for years. that was the first night with new suspension on the car.
I'd be speaking on behalf of people with problems choosing their suspension makers. These are people with older cars, special needs being burnt by and/or those who just refuse to succumb to the worst term ever, "is like that one". Especially blood-boiling if you've just paid for the "is like that one" product.
RCS is a bespoke, personalized, with-your-name-on-it solution.
I've been to RCS a couple of times after that for service also just to fine tune the ride and height to my liking. Being a relatively new company, they are ever-changing. improving wherever they can, replacing whichever parts that is deemed inferior by design. so you can go back to them, they'd happily inspect the faults you have with the system and advice you.
And because they're a couple years young, they are still discovering the perfect blend of cost and quality to build a system that will eventually be bullet-proof. For now, dont expect to fit-it-and-forget-it because you might need a re-visit now and then. After all it's custom built.
Other great instances were the drives up Genting Highlands. Truly transformed the way the car behaves. I felt the 4 corners of the big bm for the first time. I was able to turn through the tight twisties with zero drama for the first time. I shall return with a good footage when the car comes back
