You should try the track package(autofoam) if good handling is what you are after. Alternatively, u can try to add a front strut bar and upgrade the rear anti-roll bar prior to foaming since it is much cheaper. |

First few days you will be amazed. The "bola" can grow bigger especially with corners. The car will feel solid and stable. It's like installing an invisible roll-cage. You can go a lot faster that usual but the car will feel like you're going slower. After sometime, you will forget how your car used to feel before the foaming. Just enjoy the process. Once you're used to your ride, when you try other car that isn't autofoamed, you might feel unsafe.
When you going down? If I free that time, maybe I drop by.
If I were you, I'll try and sweet talk Desmond to throw in the track extention ... As you can see, even after I remove my UR bar, the car is not scary -- so its fun and safe. |

It has been 18 days since my FD2 AFed with comfort package. Simple summary is that this "S*h*i*t*s" WORKS!!
After AFed and about to leave KLAuto, bro Des step into the car and wanted to show me how to test the before and after difference. He asked me to start the car without realising that the car is already started .. hehe  That goes to show that the resonance generated by the engine while idling is very much reduced. Stop the engine and start the engine again, you will not feel much differences with the engine ON. The foam absorbed most of the resonance and NVH generated from the engine. Sweet!
After driving out of KLAuto, first feel is that the car felt slow ... I was wondering was it because the foam heavy and make the car feel heavier hence slow? .. after reading bro blue's statement above, he also feels the same, the car moves slower ... I think probably because we are used to the NVH generated while the car is moving but because it is reduced, then we feel that the car is slower. Cool!
Going over the yellow line speed bump, can feel less intrusion into the cabin. It is less intusion, not totally eliminated. Afterall, the speed bump is to alert the driver to slow down so most important is that I can still know that there is a speed bump, but more comfortable going over them. Nice!
Another improvement is going over uneven road, wow, it felt like it absorbs most of the irregularity of the road and the intrusion into cabin is very much reduced!! I guess not good for the absorber though as will tend to go over uneven road faster now as there is less bump, Not good .. hehe
This one is something I didn't expect, as this is a comfor package, I didn't thought that it will improve the handling as well!!!!! Maneuving the car around, changing lane, attack the corner, all felt that the car moves where you want it to move ... less body roll felt! I always keep an umbrella at the rear, on top the rear speaker board. Before AF, the umbrella will always slide left and right every time I corner, now it hardly move, only under really fast cornering! This is really fantastic!
I have one upset though. When the car speed increase, can feel less NVH coming from the bottom but the NVH on the top (windows, pillars) feel like worst now .... aiyo ... I think because the differences between both, bottom and top is much bigger hence can hear more wind noise now .... damm upset! Now need to go for sound proof and pillar foam already! Another upset, no more bullet already  ... hehe
Coming next, Sports package!! won it at the club auction .. kekeke
Will update you all once get it done and hopefully MORE improvement! _________________ Fellow Kemuning Utama Resident, JOIN the community forum at
