Trailing Arm installation for the rear tyres. The current / stock trailing arm cannot be adjusted, hence making it difficult when it comes to doing tyre alignment. Got this trailing arm from Singapore, sometimes last year and decided to get em change, together with the tyres.

For the tyres, was kinda deciding if i should upgrade to a larger 17" RIMS instead of the current 16". Went around looking for something which I would like, but wasn't quite satisfied with what is available, hence decided to change the tyres instead. The stock tyres were going on NCT5 - 205/55/R16, which proves to be pretty noisy and hard.
Was looking for something which was a bit more quieter and smoother (comfy). Did some search on the net for user recommendations, and it seem the Michelin Primacy LC had pretty good ratings. I was deciding between the Continental Contact Premium 2 and Michelin Primacy LC, at the end decided to go with Primacy LC, since the Tyre shop i was going too didn't have the Continental Tyres available. A quick check at few other tyre shops seems to draw the same result about the availability of the Continental CP2.
I must agree with all the reviews out there, the Michelin Primacy LC is indeed a pretty quite / comfy tyres to be on. I hope they last a good couple of years. So far no issues on braking or driving on wet conditions.
