Thanks Lui.. I love the V3 so much, feel totally a diff car. Exact same as what you said in the previous post, the ride quality improved alot, completely stable and connected to the road. The car feels even tight and smooth when going over dips, no harsh feel at all. I might adjust the bond for the front a bit after it settled in the next 2 weeks. |

Excellent stance, love it. I really want to know if there is any issue with ramps, speed bumps and etc. with your V3. Just for me to think about if I wanna swap later, need to consider together if I want to add a front lip.

For the issue with ramps, honestly I didn't went too far, as it just installed yesterday. I did went to Element today and the ramp and speed bump is fine. I think some parking with long ramp will definitely hit the front, but hopes not. Now I think the front is a bit too low and the rear is fine. Close to 1 finger gap in between the tire and fender for both front and rear without anyone sitting in the car. Once the car settled in a week or two, it will lower a bit for sure. Actually I planned to get a front lip very quick, not much choice tho. But after install with V3 with such lower front, I might wait for another month or so, let see if there's anything new coming. I might raise up the front a little bit in order to fit in the lip. Will see... RC bro, I suggest you installed your bumper first. Get the V3 or front lip in the next step, you can always adjust the height you want with V3. It worth every penny man. |

Thanks dyip bro. The tyre is ok on dry, cannot compare with PSS tho. For the wet, it is excellent, you can easily by pass any car if they driving slow on wet. I used the same tyre on my other car, so maybe I get used to the tyre and knew how fast the tyre can go, when cornering. |

Is 550 grill difference to 535? I'm not too sure how high can adjust for the front, as I didn't read the menu. But the guy did the installation for me saying that the setting now is around the mid point. So if you raised up to highest point, I think it won't be too much diff compare to stocks. Hopes this help. |

Really? Thanks Jxnco. I will check it out later. But I think the one now (chrome w/ black) is ok. Might change to the black one from dealer later.. I think your combo of glossy and matt looks good, too. Where you got yours? |
