Car enthusiasts & modders around the world have always been stereotyped in a certain way.
But what are local car enthusiast communities really like in person? We interview recreational track racers, outfitters, and touring enthusiasts on what their thoughts are.
Special thanks to: SONAX Premium Detailing by SiO2 and Ride Now - Car Rental Singapore for sharing their stories and their tireless support.
Happy #0808 !
Project Leads: Lee Jun Yuan, Yvonne Ling

#CWM #FactnotFiction: Lowering springs are indeed plug-and-play.
Unlike coilovers, lowering spring and shocks combos like the Bilstein B12s and the KYB Lowfer Sports kits, are truly plug-and-play with no balancing or tuning needed. Does this mean that all of them are horrid for comfort and handling then? No, they are no. 😊
The amount of engineering and calculations invested into building fixed-height drop units like the Bilstein B12 is as immense, just like the time and effort invested into developing other units like the B6 monotube shocks to B14 and B16 coilovers.
So, why would some of us love the fixed height drop units and some of us not?
Here's our analogy: the audio shop which installs a head-unit does a great job. The head-unit is also well-built and is completed with top quality engineering. That model of head-unit also comes PRE-TUNED to listen to just one station, for example, the Govorit-Moskva 94.8FM which Russians really love for oldies. We would love it if we were Russian, but we aren't.
That is what fixed height drop suspension replacements are – A hit and miss. A hit if you’re a perfect candidate for the suspension but a miss, if your car's parameter/usage isn't in perfect alignment (e.g. You do not understand Russian or like Russian oldies).
What we can advise you to do, is to take a ride in the shop’s demonstration unit. Be sure to ask what was altered, what was installed so that you can replicate the exact feel. If your car doesn’t feel the same, there may be a substantial difference which might require you to purchase/remove some items.
While we are developing ways to mitigate harshness and bumpiness from a lowering kit, there aren't really many adjustment parameters that can be made on the scale of coilovers.
In short - lowering springs are 'take it or leave it' like a store-bought shirt, while coilovers enable us to tune their characteristics to you, like a custom-tailored suit. We are here to chat if you want a second opinion on what #suspensionmods truly meet your needs. Good luck!
PS: this fierce Mazda 3 on #Bilstein B12s had his suspension analysed by us last week on the scales at Ride Now - Car Rental Singapore.

#CWM101: here's our guide on how to read corner weight balancing scales.
Our Longacre Racing Products Computerscales come from an established brand name in the industry and it is recognised for dedication to quality and innovation. These scales are also used by individual racers, as well as some of the most respected names in motor racing. (We also use Intercomp, which is another respected brand)
But what good is it if I do not know how to read the scales? In today’s post, we will share with you what you can see from the scales, and what you can use to visualise how your cars are moving in 3D when you are at one of our analysis sessions (Included with all tunes).
Terms/Glossary:
- Left: This literally means the entire LEFT side of the car weighs the amount shown, along with the corresponding percentage of total vehicle weight. This value will change, depending on the number of passengers in the vehicle. In our other posts, we elaborate more about a 50:50 mass distribution; well, that is Front and Rear. In this case, this is Left and Right. No one really talks about this, but it does show you where the location of your center of gravity is - which is important to us.
- Rear: This value shows the amount of weight at the rear of the vehicle, along with the corresponding percentage of total vehicle weight. This value will change, depending on the number of passengers in the vehicle. This is the aft component of the ever-popular term 50:50, however, in this case, you might find that it is lower for vehicles with engines mounted in the front. It will of course be the opposite if the engine were mounted in the rear. Also, this does also show you where the location of your center of gravity is - which, again, is also important to us.
- Cross: The cross-weight and its corresponding percentage is everything we’re shooting for, on this scale. Cross-weight percentage compares the diagonal weight totals to the car's total weight. To calculate cross-weight percentage, add the RF weight to the LR weight and divide the sum by the total weight of the car.
- Total: This is the total weight of the car. This is most times without the driver. Drivers who wish to be tuned with them inside are welcome. Just be in there consistently, that's all we ask. The weight of the car will not change, however, in some cases, the fan might be blowing, added downforce.
Cross-weight is also called wedge: If the percentage is over 50 percent, the car has wedge; if below 50 percent, the car has a reverse wedge. More wedge means that the car will likely understeer more in a left turn. The advantage to wedge is that the left rear tire carries more load, so the car drives off the turns better. But in a right turn, the opposite occurs, and the handling is worse. In almost all cases, the loss of cornering performance in one direction is greater than the gain in the other direction. On oval track cars, cross-weight is usually used in conjunction with stagger (where the right rear tire is larger in circumference than the left rear tire) to balance handling. More stagger usually loosens the handling in left turns, so more cross-weight is used to tighten it up. But stagger is not a good idea on a road course or autocross either, thus the ideal is 50-percent cross-weight and no stagger.
One of the problems with cross-weight is that it will change the handling balance from a left to a right turn. This can make maneuvering in traffic difficult, even dangerous. On the street, the cross-weight percentage should be very close to 50 percent, within a half-degree either way, to keep the handling balance similar in a right-hand turn compared to a left-hand turn.
In the photos below, you'll be able to see a recent example of a car which we analysed and tuned at Ride Now - Car Rental Singapore, so tell us how you would read it. Let us know what you’ve learnt and we’ll be happy to applaud you or give you some other pointers!
