  1. Informative! There is slight scuff mark, look like the cut in the tyre. Its very fine cut round the tyre. If 225 40 18 would fix the issue, you interest to swap mine 235 40 18 great condition like new to something secondhand 224 40 18 with I paid extra. I have low budget to spend on! Thanks
  2. Turning sharply that I havent try but I can hear rubbing when go down or just getting into uphill where pushing the front down. There is a dent in the front guard where cause problem however, I do not think because of the dent that really cause the issue because I did not have this rubbing with 16". Do you all think change 225 40 18 would fix? Should I change all 4 x 225 40 18 or just the 2 front ones. Ta
  3. The car is reasonable high (approx 35 or 40mm) 328CI and it wasnt lowered. I had no problems with my original 225 50 16. I just wonder if possible to run 225 40 18 front and 235 40 18 rear? Ta
  4. hi, Got set of E46 Coupe 18" I think ET40 tires 235/40/18 however when i get into the hill or down hill with break, I can hear touching guards from the front. Not sure if it happen from the rear as I cant hear anything. Is the tires size too big? 224/40/18 should fix the issue? Thanks
  5. HI all, I got a Mobile Hand Wash car & boat groom company. I asked him (might be the owner) for the fully service ( I really mean to get everything interior and exterior done). He told me I would purchase $200 service included cut & polish. Yes, $200 I would expect a very good, perfect job as $200 is the most expensive service that company offer. A Chinese couple turned up and get the job started. After 3 hours of work, they finished it. I checked around the car and I did not satisfy with what they have done. I had to tell them what and where need to be done and they redo it. It was wasting the time and leading to disappointing for customer. I personally think the Chinese couple is not professional, skill and expertise on what they are doing. I would do better job through. My point here is I feel that mobile service normally these organisations contract the employees. Organisations and contractors share profit (50:50 or 30:70 maybe). Because of they contract people hence they do not control the job quality neither skill and expertise. I would personally recommend do not purchase from the mobile service. The proper shop would much better hence they would care about their quality and reputation carefully. Ta
  6. Qualitat did not just refer to warranty claim, they also referred to the facts that lowering the car causing issues. After quick look under the car, they also said if 35mm drop then it would cause something relate to 100mm (I cant remember) so the car cant pass WOF. Keith mentioned to have correct spring, shock absorber etc so it shouldnt cause damage to the car. So you mean that lowering the car by JUST ONLY MOD the spring (H&R) would cause damage later on? Ta.
  7. OMG... very confusing in lowering my touran. I brought it to Qualitat today for full service. I also asked the guy there whether I should lower (35mm H&R Spring) and he suggested to leave it as standard factory if its for daily use. He said lower (35mm H&R Spring) would affect toward to the mechanical warranties, join ball fail, WOF fail, shock fail and lot of troubles that I cant remember all. I personally like the sporty look with 18" wheel but.... consideration on what he suggested I think............ I dont know... give me an advise please. Thanks
  8. Should I pick a set of wheel+tyres first or lower the car first? Which ones of these should be done first? Ta
  9. haha, sorry Glenn and everyone for my English second language. I mean any recommended places in Auckland where I can bring my car to for it fully groom the interior and exterior. Ta
  10. Any rekon places for its fully groom insite out in auckland? Thanks
  11. Thanks Glenn but my partner is not interested in. To all others: any ones have any picture of how H&R 35mm drop (with and without full load) should look like? I am very concern of the difficulty to drive as my partner isnt a good and skill driver. Thanks K
  12. I had the offer from Keith for a 35mm lower (H&R spring). The Volkswagen Touran 05 is always full load (7 girls) when its on the road so my most concerns are how the car drive, handle, comfort and any problems later on? This is car for my partner. Thanks for any advises. Kelvin.
  13. Hi all, I just want to lower people mover to have a bit of sporty look. Does this lower make lot of affect to driving comfort and handle while with fully 7 passenger loaded? Any suggestion whether I would lower or keep it factory standard? Ta
  14. Bros, I wonder it is worth to buy Mechanical Warranties offered by car dealer for fresh import? Should i go ahead for 1 year or 3 years as I plan to drive the car long. Ta K.
  15. Bros, Thinking importing car from Japan to New Zealand. Do you have any recommended websites that I can go for? I google but there are many of them and so confusing. Thanks K.
