It's okay to use 215/50R17 tyres on the stock rims.
Only minor issue is that the front tyres may rub against the inner tyre well during full-lock turns (and depending on vehicle load).

Been quoted the same price at Kia Service centre also. My problem was the pulley spoilt (freee running). At last replace only the pulley at Korean Car Mate Glenmarie for around RM500++ because SC couldn't replace only the pulley.

I noticed a very high concentration of fortes around Puchong area.

Most owners live there?

I'm kind if happy to report the purple absorbers from KSW are pretty good. So, if you ever get a good deal on them, it's worth considering.

What's the damaged?
Where did you get it?
Anylinks?

Thanks

No links for the product that I could find.

Got it from Autosavers PJ at RM890 for all 4 with installation.

Could be this website...

Price with installation, sound good.

How long have you been using? Do feedback after one year of usage.

Thanks

1mth and 3000km in so far.

Travelled on back roads quite a lot lately.

nice share.

thanks.

do update us again when >10k

do you service your forte at Autosavers too? between Autosavers and Korean Car Mates, which is more good?

Ok boss!


I did service with them when I changed my absorbers, vbelt, lower arm, vbelt, bush, tensioner bearing.... They used HKS 10W40 (I think) fully synthetic oil. My first time with them and many things done at one time lah. Seems ok.

Haven't been KCM. I used to service at Naza Kia.

Last time changed at Autosaver PJ also with some unknow KSA brand Absorber. Not good.

At least now they change to KSW and with website...lol

Like this? I was using KSA for less than a week before it blew out the oil. Then only changed to the purple one.

Ya, saw KSA brand on it...but my one is got sound after few weeks of replacement there...I didn't go to see got oil leakage or not....free replace one pc after complain...but still KSA...until now not so good feeling in front...

I think they know it as so many replacements done...

You just try the purple one for few more months and see...hope can tahan.

PS: To other members, please beware of this KSA brand since Angel of Death and me got problem of it.

I will definitely report back for you.

Did I tell you guys about the story that my shifter pulled into Neutral when I accelerate from standstill?

I think no, never notice in the forum here...I only tried b4 the shifter loose and can't change gear at all...
At the end, change the whole set at SC, around 700

pls elaborate your problem and solution?

Halfway typing, macam told before.. but let me just repeat myself.

Problem : accelerating from standstill (traffic lights, park) at 1st gear in D may cause the gear shifter to move forward and touch N. Causing the car to lose drive halfway. Accelerating hard will just pop the gear into neutral. In short, dangerous.

Cause : not gearbox in my case. But weakened engine mount allowing engine to twist forward under torque, pulling the gear cable forward also.

Short fix : hold the gear shifter so it doesn't move when in 1st gear.

Mid term fix : adjusted gear cable to have some slack. This causes the gear shifter to be rougher to engage though.

Long term fix : change engine mount. Don't know how much this one yet.

tarik to right... as manual gear.. can?

Can. But no different from just holding the shifter until it goes into 2nd.
