    jeff108,

    Pag low profile yung gulong, there is much less room for sidewall flex kaya dapat taas ang pressures ng gulong, resulting in a harsher ride.

    Yung lowered suspension naman, unless hindi binago yung spring rate, kailangan ng mas matitigas na spring para hindi madali mauntog yung rubber bump stops sa suspension. Ngayon, kung pinutulan yung rubber bump stops para mag-compensate sa shortened travel siguro ma-retain yung original spring rate pero delikado kung sumayad yung gulong sa car body dahil sa increased upward travel nito. To ensure na hindi sumayad yung gulong, ipa try mo na i max upward travel yung suspension (habang naka jackstands) without the springs or shocks, and with the tire on, and with the shortend bump stops on. Tignan mo kung sumayad ba ang gulong pag pina-liko mo yung manibela.

    The conclusion of the matter is, any modification in the direction of lower ride height and/or lower profile tires will definitely increase ride harshness. I've never heard of, much less seen, a lowered car with a soft and smooth ride.

    musang, jeff108

    why don't you guys pass by the shop if you're in the area? just have my mechanic go with you for a spin then when narinig na nya yung ingay mas madali nya makikita kung ano sira.

    look for felix if i'm not there

    thanks!
