QUOTE(dzuan @ Jul 2 2014, 03:58 PM) guys, all this while i never drove my car full passengger until recently had to go back kampung due to an emergency.had full 5 grown ups in the car and thats where i reallize that my forte 1.6 suspension feels 'berombak' .totally kecut to drive it to fast or layan corner.anybody had gone thru this issues before?now considering to upgrade my suspension set if theres anyone who could advise a good set of it.....the car just past over 3 years since May.....still can claim warranty ka? get down from your car (ensure no passenger), press 'down' the car at the corner (front/rear left or right) if the car bounce more than 3 times = absorber kong. |

QUOTE(cahayamalamku @ Jul 3 2014, 08:20 AM) yes forte suspension very soft indeed... even kia sa admitted about this  told him that once i drove the car with 6 people (4 at the back) and my car suspensions couldn't 'bounce back' literally  SA sure 'follow' what you said. U say the car good they  ($$ already in pocket), when u complaint they will always tell you 'never come across such feedback/complaint) Need to be mindset that IF factory setting is above/average stiffness ?> comfort definitely gone. always remember, profile 40 to 45 tires JUST CAN'T have too stiff suspension...else like driving a track car on stress road. Just my 2 cents |

QUOTE(superhero_123 @ Jul 4 2014, 03:12 PM) I guess this means no warranty.... Lousy Silverstone Atlantis v8, 2 wheels cracked within 2 years of manufacturer date and around 30k usage... Even 15K km i think also warranty i think..if below 1 years (or less than 10km) maybe can still try appeal... Aside from blaming the tires, also need to blame on drive...how they care and handle the wheel and tires (am sure 99% driver also said i drive carefully, never masuk potholes etc  ) |

QUOTE(mox123 @ Jul 15 2014, 07:26 PM) I would like to know is anyone here install the Eibach Pro-Kit Performance string for their Forte? If yes, care to share some experience on it? I would like to know does it improve the handling performance....or will it make the car too low (especially with the full body kits model) that unsuitable for our road condition..... Thanks. yes it will improve handling and make your car more bumpy since stiffer. |

QUOTE(mox123 @ Jul 16 2014, 09:42 PM) Thks....but I more concern whether I should remove the body kits or not since the car is lowered...... Even without bodykit, it will hit/scratch your front bumper since Forte somehow too 'cun' and running 45 profile tires...to some/most ppl Forte without bodykit is not cun  |

Used probably Rm500-700 for a set of 4. Why ppl make replica....think about it. |
