Thank you Uncle YS explaining the handling of the cars. I am in tyre related industry for many years and it is true tyre performance is better in expensive range. For turbocharged vehicle I strongly not recommend to use entry level tyre even if it were Michelin XM2+. The more expensive tyre will able to provide better grip for high horsepower high torque vehicle meanwhile less body roll in corner due to harder sidewall. Maybe uncle YS can do a video for public to learn about tyre performance.

Sir, do you plan on making a video about suspension setting such as stiffness & ride height that is ideal on Malaysia road? -could be a content from your personal opinion & driving experience. I think that could be very helpful for most of car enthusiast in Malaysia that want to have mixed combination in terms of improve handling while not damaging our car. Cheers!

To me I don't think it is a need to explain about anti roll bar since public users take the car in normal use rather than on track. If explanation of suspension design such as multilink, double wishbone or torsion beam is good to share but if modification setup then not really suit for most people.

Myvi third gen, carry 4 people (5 if include driver), just to pass by a bump, especially those which is build in such a way where the entry and exit of the bump is so narrow with the actual height is going to bang somewhere.

Hi Uncle YS, what's your opinion about changing new tyre. For rear and front, which one to change first if I could only afford 2 tyres rather than 4 tyres.
@YSKhongDriving
@YSKhongDriving 4 жыл бұрын
Some quarters say rear, but I would put the new tyres in front. Reason is the new tyres will be softer and easier to balsnce, and will provide better grip to the front, better for turnin in , so chance of understeer is reduced and all problems start with understeer.

I have a car in which the distance between the front wheel and the rear wheel is big. Whenever I go over a bump my car easily gets hit on the bottom middle because the rear wheel does not manage to raise before the front wheel got down, unless I am going very very slow nearly stopped. Does it mean that I have to get a suspension that rebound much quickly

Hi, on the topic of handling... Want to know more about adjustable coilovers with high speed and low speed compression as well as high speed and low speed rebound on how they effect handling... Is it possible to use these absorbers to achieve a extremely smooth and comfortable ride while still HV decent handling?
@YSKhongDriving
@YSKhongDriving 4 жыл бұрын
Shock absorbers can do what you set them to do. In other words even of they are adjustable, usually only the rebound is adjustable. And they stay at that last setting you used. Road conditions change all the time, but the settings remain. It is possible to set a compromise setting somewhere between good ride comfort and good handling - which basically means you should have just left it as standard. QED.
@imataquito005
@imataquito005 4 жыл бұрын
@@YSKhongDriving Can't it get better then standard or perhaps last longer? What I meant by least longer is that it will maintain the new shocks comfort for longer as I have found in that in one of my older vehicle; changing to a standard new absorber only made the car feel extra comfortable, handle nicer for about 2- 3 weeks before it settles down to a normal acceptable ride... 😅 It almost feel like the compression stroke became harder or more restrictive after the initial 2-3 weeks...

@ilovecars wider tyre means larger surface area, this will reduce the pressure of the tyre pressing against the road. This is why wider tyre will perform worse than narrower tyre (on the same car) in the wet, because the tyre is not 'pressing' hard enough through the layer of water on the road.

Every tyre has a design objective. Softer compounds have a shorter life compared to harder compounds but have more grip. More grooves mean better wet grip but more rubber means better dry grip. Therefore every tyre is also a compromise.

Hi Uncle YS, I am driving a 2005 Honda City i-DSI. I changed the rear suspension to new original set. It tends to be very stiff and I can really feel the "rear kick up" when I drive over uneven roads. I don't find it comfortable. Where can we source a suitable softer suspension? I am living in Kuching, Sarawak and due to stocks limitation here, I don't mind to source it from West Malaysia.

Brandon Wong these bars are to stiffen up the car so there is less flex to the chassis during cornering. During cornering your vehicle is like a towel being wrung dry, it twists. Stiffening up the chassis will help, on any part of the car. Just be sure these bars are solid and do the job rather than easthetic and just a placebo effect.

Unfortunately reality is ride comfort vs. handling is usually inversely related, and most "road cars" are a compromise. Most people wouldn't know this. Best compromise between ride comfort / handling for a car's setup are usually in the lighter performance cars, like the MX5s or the Alpines, or some may prefer the wallowly soft suspension tunes of most Japanese road car. If you need performance, handling and comfort at the same time, you will need to take it a step up in price to find cars that are fit with fancy adaptive (on-demand electronically or mechanically) suspension systems like the "Air" suspensions of the Germans, the "hydro-pneumatics" of the French and luxury marques, or the magnetic suspensions of the Americans. Then you can adapt ride comfort / handling depending on the need of the moment, but when it comes to this, you'll have another issue, long term reliability and long term maintenance costs (usually pops up after the warranty period). Why are older Japanese standard road cars so reliable? they're simple machines designed to ride soft, handle for normal drives, and doesn't include fancy performance upgrades, or sensor tech, or adaptive suspension setups. That said, in a few year's time you'll find the Japanese will be as unreliable as the Germans, French, etc, as they have too started to kit out their road cars with performance turbos, electronics, sensors and fancy suspension. Ask a Mazda, Lexus owner

You can spend the money elsewhere in a more useful way. Better to learn how to drive well. Just note most of the small cars we have in our videos are running standard suspension. Anyway some of the coilover sets are quite 'shady' as in we are not sure if they really work or not.
