Just sharing some experience here.
My car was infested with flying termites the other week. A whole bunch of them clogged up the intake vent below the wiper, and rain made it worse. In the end, they clumped up and couldn't drain through the flap. Then they started growing white mold, which caused a horrible stink through my a/c.
I have cleared the intake vents, and the vents below the dashboard since they got in there too. No smell from the parts anymore, but my blower vents still smell. Not sure if they somehow managed to get into the evaporator coil. But will ventilate the system for a week or so and see if it goes away.

Anyone experienced such issues before? The smell isn't at the cabin filter anymore, only at the center blower vent mostly.

Will advise alza drivers to put a piece of cloth over the external intake vent to prevent insects and debris going in especially for areas with those flying ants and termites. Too much and it clogs up the system since the drain has a flap of sorts which stops them flowing out.

Managed to do as suggested, however noticed that the grime on the blower fins smell very strongly of that smell. So suspecting the smell has already got inside my cooling coil, since the air from blower still smells when turned on with AC off especially first start in the morning. Thinking might as well do a service, since the air flow seems to have decreased a bit too.
Got quoted from rm250 to rm400 for taking out the parts, cleaning and gas replacement. A bit variance in cost, so thinking what's the usual cost for this kind of service?

It seems reduced, going to hang on a few more days to see if it further decreases.
The only worry is if a blockage or such might damage the compressor or other parts.

Any Alza users care to share your costs for air cond service, and what jobs were done? Did they replace the seals etc and flush the system?

If you hear knocking sound, or grinding sound when you go over uneven road then time to change.
Proride read some not nice reviews, for myself i recently replaced with Kayaba. You need to replace the mounting and suspension itself, think spring no need as it's a very hardy part. Maybe the stabilizer link as well.

Any idea original shocks manufactured by which brand?

Oh, always thought it was apm or something. You replaced at p2 though, why? Always thought they overprice their parts. I know their absorber selling for rm260 now when you can get it straight from Kayaba at rm140.

Proride Malaysian company I think. So not really confident of their engineering abilities. Usual stuff, they always think these things simple like autogate, r&d pun tarak

Another xm2 user. Very satisfied, light years performance from stock.

Michelin XM2 users, what PSI you normally pump? Just curious.

Thanks.

Mine is actually 32-33 front and back, but feels a bit splashy for lack of words. Feels a bit squishy when driving.

Driving around for a bit after suspension change, suspension and stabilizer replaced. Only springs left from stock. I never noticed this before, but there seems to be some noise coming from the tyre well when going through the bumps. Not exactly knocking, maybe a dull thud.
Also when wheel is at full turn, it will "skip" on parking bay concrete. Almost like losing traction.

So many issues one doesn't notice if one doesn't look for it.
