I do not feel rear suspension become stiffer. I would want it to be stiffer than it already is now. I just feel that the rear is lack of independence during bump crossing. Other than that I have no complain.

Is it the rear suspension being "lock" by the ARB so it become single piece of bar that goes up and down in parallel?

is it good or bad actually?

Adding one or two bars will not alter the car's stiffness by a huge margin.

If you go for the regular front strut bars and rear anti roll bar combo, the comfort level is not that noticeable.

is it become slightly comfort or less comfort ?

i guess your HU should have bluetooth, so one way is to use bluetooth to play. the other way is to get a very cheap (less than RM 10) auxillary cable and plug one end to your phone, the other end to the "AUX" jack in the car. that will allow you to play your music through the speakers the same as bluetooth. The not so good is (for both methods) - you can only control the music tracks using your phone..so essentially with an aux cable, you could also say watch a movie on your tablet and use your car speakers as an output. I've tried it many times smile.gif

Your understanding is correct. Adding ARB is actually linking a none movable part to both suspension and theoritically making it into one. However, under usage, the ARB does flex (what material does not?). After installing, the whole rear does go up and down parallely. I do feel that the stability increases in high speed highway drive. Cornering is much better as how I describe on the roundabouts. On potholes, I cannot really note any difference.

As a passenger, not that noticeable.

As a driver, you'll feel your steering is more responsive and the way the car turns is slightly sharper.

I have called and asked.

No need to cut wire. The camera output goes direct to the 4.3" screen. Price wise, normal camera is 110, infra red is 135. Screen is less than 160. Camera angle cannot go to the left right of bumper. Connecting direct to existing HU unsure because he never opened up the HU before.

This sounded like a camera with a toggle switch. It is not linked to gear engaged. So you will need to manual turn on the camera.
*
Haiizzz.... I would prefer it to be linked to HU or rear mirror, adding another screen makes it a bit cramped up.

I dont mind the manual toggle switch though....

He has not install before. This does not mean that it is not possible. I gave up when he says that the camera cannot catch the left and right side of bumper like alphard.

anyone of you have tried DIY to change the front Position Light before?
As i found it's quite difficult to take out the light. No matter how hard i pull it but then still can't remove it.

And i read somewhere they said need to dismantle the headlight to do it.
Is it true?

And what is the bulb size of position light? It seems like an T10 light bulb.

Thanks and cheers.

I believe it's worth the wait bro. Last time i've waited for 4 months++ for the first batch of Forte 2.0SX. At the time i booked the car, the car itself is still in form of a raw materials i believe. Not yet being produce at the factory in Korea tongue.gif

Forte's rear suspension is not as accomodative as multi link to start with. I cannot really differentiate if the ARB has made the car's suspension more stiff.

On wavy roads, the car did bounce lesser.
