Ya I also think put four piece is expensive already, maybe move the two to front then change spring is better, anyway I'll go glenmarie sc to check tomorrow, hope to get an absolute answer for this issue

saw from fb change perdana spring 150 only, and blm spring i last time i checked if not wrong macam around the price too.

read before, it is actually harmful, cos the spring works harder and focused on top/bottom part cos we cacatkan the middle part. something like that la.

What I read is that the reduce the compression of the spring, and thus reducing the work of absorber. I do not know which one is correct.

did you change ur rim?

He changed to 16".

16" rims with 205/ 55 tires, what's your opinion?

Bro Dvinez, are u from Muar?

You are right. Spring buffers retards the motion of the springs and significantly reduces the load on absorbers.

My take on the switch to BLM springs, etc.:
Try doing some research first on the kerb weight of each vehicle before swapping the springs.
Also, check to see if once you've switched the springs, will your Forte 'nose-dive' everytime you hit the brakes?
There are reasons why the Forte (or any other vehicle for that matter)'s suspension system is set up in such a way.

PS - Just my thoughts through my own experience

rims offset? rims width?
rims offset and width may caused the rubbing problem you facing...

nothing wrong with tyre i think. it is ex size.

yea hometown there

Already make appointment with glenmarie sc, will go check up on Friday

Sorry for my noob question. But what is the name and spec of Forte 1.6 SX stock tyre?

If trade-in, how much do you think it can fetch? Assuming just 2 weeks old.

Just checking...

Thanks all.

It is supposed to be Atlantis V7. A new spare tyre trade in 150. A 8k km tyre trade in 100. You figure the rest.

Bro, whats the spec of your MC5? I'm abit lost on 225, 215, 205...

My stock is Atlantis V7 215/45/17.

Now I think again, my tires hit the fender maybe due to my offset rims, that other member in fb also same using offset rims hit fender when driving on bumpy roads

Thx to camron remind me

Yes offset rims will caused the rubbing issue.
As for stock forte rims 17x7JJ offset is around +48...

so if you bought rims and the offset is +35 or lower and together rims width will caused the rubbing.
Tyres thickness will caused that if you lowered your car with softer springs.

I dunno my offset reading, the receipt is stated 16x8 and its a little come out from car body, just little

Now I'm wondering whether sc will blame my offset rims, looks like I'm gonna start looking for other rims

wow........ your rims width is 8JJ? 16x8JJ.... is quite off from your brake rotor...
Hmm what kind of rims of that? Got photo?
Looks u r quite active in FB - MYC....

How long is ur car?

my car is 4 months old, i already check my car fenders, there are some oily black kind of thing, i believe is caused by the rubber rubbing by the offset rims, now looking to change rims, aihh...

here's an old pic, as u can see the rear tires is out a bit
