Re: Where to buy - M5 rims

Bro, Pre Lci doesn't. Its called FTM- Flat tyre Monitor. I think your LCI has it by default. =)

OIC, tks bro... can save some pennies for other mods.

So will you be buying the device bro. Is it ex?

Re: Where to buy - M5 rims

There are sponsors selling in this forum. Tyredog and the other one is Orange Brand.

I think those are good for the FTM system. Yes I will be getting one of those. =) As I just dump the run flats.

Bro,

You mean with FTM system also need the equipment you mentioned?

Re: Where to buy - M5 rims

Yes bro, The FTM only tells you something is punctured. But not sure which one or how bad. It works well with RFT I guess. But now I am running 30/35 profile tires, so I guess any leakage has to be sort out fast, if not the new rims would be running on the ground.

In essence, I have FTM and I will get the Aftermarket TPMS.

For you if you have LCI and see TPMS, you don't have to do it. =)

Re: Where to buy - M5 rims

You reckon its same for 30/245F and 35/275R?

I totally agree with the air pressure thing. Under-pressure won't soak the bumps n humps that well... especially when conti car is much heavier than Jap rides.,,, thus eliminating(or rather, offset) most of the discomfort over humps n bumps..... so slightly higher pressure shl do wonders to the shock's functions... as long as it's slightly higher.... hahaha

yeah, i reckon the pressure shldnt be too far off for 30/245F and 35/275R.

bro, u can refer to the sticker pasted at the driver side door. pump according to the advice depending on whether ur car is usually fully loaded or not. have a feel on whether it is too hard or soft and release or add 10kpa front and rear eaxh time accordingly to reassess

Bro,

You are talking abt 20" Rim or 20" tyre profile? What's your width? Staggard?

Re: Where to buy - M5 rims

Leong S told me to pump 250 front and 270 rear. I am on 245/275 on 19s. =)

Anyone put in aftermarket Tire Pressure monitoring sensors after taking out your RFTs?

Thanks!!!

Bro, I'm on the same setup. Ray S told me to pump 250 front and 280 rear. So far feels ok to me. Are they too high?

Hey Bro715,

While we are at it, jux to inform you and bro Gutsy that after researching..... I realised that we should get coilovers. KW ver1.

This is recommended by an enthusiast Bro Kenten. He reckons that if we change springs only, the shocks will kaput within 15K km. According to him, what's worst is the stock shocks will pump too furiously due to the shorter springs... resulting in the further shortening of lifespan of our stock shocks.

So if we change springs, we have to change shocks... thus resulting in demage of 1.4K - 1.7K in total.

KW ver.1 shl be a better option for road handling, lowering yet comfy drive due to softer springs than ver.2 and ver.3, yet we can get the lowering we want and cornering at high speed without rolling.

This Ken is not Kenntona, but he drove a 335 coupe, heavily mod up.... recently sold to change to a Massaratti GT. He don't fancy tracking and wants comfort with performance. So I trust his judgement. We can go down either to BOSS or BVO to check.

Cheers

Will update those sis n bros going there on the price of group buy, and will post for the benefit of other sis and bros after that

Bro,

KW don't make V1 for E60.

The most comfortable setup is KW V2 Street Comfort. Spring rates are lesser than V2, so overall it'll be much more comfy & still with damping adjustments if you want super coshy ride or beef up ride.

Ofcourse height is adjustable also!

Wanna do a groupbuy with me? (min. 3 sets 1 order)

I'll throw in free installation & free 4-wheel alignment.

(Bro 715, you should go for this!!)

PM me if interested.

Cheers

Will installing KW V1 affects the ride comfort badly? What's the diff between V1, 2, 3 and street comfort? Any idea how much is V1 with installation?

BTW, I was looking at my rear bumper just now, if don't change to mtech or m5 rear bumper, reverse parking will sure kena the kerb. So if wanna lower means definitely need to change bodykit lio.

Oh, that's cabrio.... I thought coupe.... neighbour to his company for 5 years liao still dont know... hehe pai seh.

Heard from Willson's earlier post that Ver 1 is only for 3ers..... so maybe when he advised me this morning he forgot to inform me abt that. If its the case, then I guess we L.L. will have to go for the more ex. ver 2 lor. Hopefully group buy can get good price
