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.

Hi all,

Just want to share my experience with u guys after installing the Eibach lowering spring:

1) you can immdiately feel the car is more stable when moving. I felt the car is heavier (actually it doesn't add more weight)....maybe it is now stay closer to the floor now.

2) Cornering and making turn is definately improve.

3) Downside is now my car is very low n needs to be extra careful when driving through speed bump or uneven road. So far, i have no problem driving through those normal one with low speed.

4) Also, the ride now is a bit stiffer but not a lot n is still acceptable.

Overall, I'm quite satisfy with it especially on d handling improvement which i always felt Forte is a bit lack off ;-)

Now i have 4 original springs thinking to sell off, anyone interested pls PM me. It is about 2.5yrs old.

The "auto turn off" situation which you've described wasn't something which happens before the installation?

If the above is true, it sounds to me as if you may have bought a defective Q-Max unit by accident.

Yup, not happened b4.....even the installer hav no idea wat is d prob and he asked me to monitor further. After it happened abt 3 times just after installation....until now, it is not happen again.

Thank you for replying. But if you check mudah or carlist you'll see lots of these (A) and (B).

My guess is A for Auto Transmission and B for Both (means Auto and Manual transmission) - and manual means using paddle shift .....
