Which general points should be considered when lowering a vehicle? The chassis is one of the most important components in a vehicle and is first and foremost responsible for driving comfort, road-holding, and safety. Car manufacturers invest a lot of time and money to create the perfect chassis tuning. When modifying suspension system components, you must always make sure that the products are not only chosen based on costs and optics. Any modification, which deviates from the series chassis, is on the one hand a shift of the compromise between road-holding, control, and vehicle styling and driving safety and everyday usability on the other (please also refer to points on ↡ Advertisement Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wrxblue 1st Gear June 2, 2003 Author Share June 2, 2003 Yea quite similar, LTA do recognise TUV certificates but you got to submit it and for their evaluation and approval. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Assassin Clutched June 2, 2003 Share June 2, 2003 Great read ! So with TUV certs, we still have to submit to LTA for evaluation/approval....and does that also mean having to pay some $$ for this evaluation/approval ? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ping911 Neutral Newbie June 11, 2003 Share June 11, 2003 According to the FAQ in the website, it says:- 15. What is the difference between the PERFORMANCE Set and the Sporting Set? The PERFORMANCE product line is the logical continuing development of the suspension system tuning segment at SACHS. PERFORMANCE Products have been designed for the private driver and are developed at SACHS Race Engineering. The tuning philosophy for this product as opposed to the sporting sets was in answer to customer wishes for more comfort. Is this true? Have anybody tried the Performance Set. I spoke to a guy at Stamford Tyres and he said that there's been lots of people who have fitted the Performance set and find the ride better. He says the car will feel like a BMW. Wonder what that means? BTW, I have a 2001 S40, and the ride is terrible and really uncomfortable. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
