I can vouch that Premacy LC really makes a difference on ride comfort and overall NVH. Installed these 215/45/17 donuts on my 2010 1.6SX, and the previous harshness felt on the stock Kumho Solus has gone away. I bet installing Premacy LC on a thicker setting will make an even more comfortable ride.

But i's pretty difficult to get these tyres nowadays, I don't know why. The shop I went to will keep pushing for the Michelin PS3, which is more for performance rather than comfort.

I just installed it last month, so can't really say how long it will last. The stock Kumho lasted me 60,000km, hopefully this one can last that long as well .

I bought it in Alor Setar for RM550 per piece, complete with installation, alignment and balancing. But I heard you can get cheaper in Klang, but I don't know which shop. Perhaps other bros here knows which shop can give cheaper?

It's a tight squeeze, but it's still doable without taking out the whole headlamp assembly. Just DIY changed my headlights to Osram night breaker successfully a couple weeks back. Just unscrew the dust protector, slide the fitting pin out, and you can take out the old bulb. Put the new bulb in, engage the pin back, and screw the dust cover back. It should just take a couple of minutes for each bulb. No screwdrivers, just hands .

Honestly? I can't see the difference between the light emitted through the stock H7 bulb and with the Osram night breaker (perhaps I'm just not sensitive enough). But when I installed the Osram on just 1 headlight, and then turn the headlights on, I can see that the light emitted through the Osram is whiter than the stock one (which is a bit yellow-ish). Hope that helps .

Stock one, I'm not sure. But the osram is 100 per pair.

Since you're not a racer, get the 1.6, saves fuel and has almost all the gadgets the 2.0 has. Leather can install afterwards. And I much prefer the feel of hydraulic steering compared to a motor-assisted, just my personal preference.

I always buy my parts in Express Mobis, 03-6252 0700. The shop is in Segambut. I buy from them, and install at my friend's workshop. You can bring to the Service Center too if you want, but they will charge if I'm not mistakened. Try giving them a call and ask for the price.

The sound might be coming from the foam that holds all your jack equipments in your trunk. It rubs with the rim of the spare tyre and cause the squeak, squeak sound when running over speed bumps, at least that is what happened in my case. What I do is I put some foam sheets (that you get when buying a new monitor. The sheet that wraps the monitor, not the styrofoam) between the foam and the rim, and the sound is gone. This is to soak up the friction.

I'm pretty sure the headlight bulb is H7 and high beam bulb is H1. Maybe Forte from other country is using different bulb than ours.
