For some of you who had read my comments a few pages back,..I am for one who is obviously disappointed with doing the chassis foaming due to the much harsher ride quality of my vios.

For me, my car went from being (in my opinion), one of the best ride comfort quality in its class, to the worst ride quality after the chassis foaming.

I am so devastated by the effect that, immediately about two weeks after foaming, I thought of changing car, as it seems that foaming is irreversible. Surveyed around a couple of new cars,....did my homework calculations,....sigh,....I have to suffer with my car for 3 more years until loan is finished...
I don't have enough money to change car now,....I have to live with my mistake.
The main reason I bought this Vios is for the ride comfort (and resale value),...now I had destroyed the only good thing I used to love about my car.

My main target now is to see how to remove the foam,..or at least bring the car back to its original ride quality,...
I don't care at all about the benefits of the chassis foaming anymore,...the noise reduction is quite minimal,....certainly not enough to compensate for the harsh ride quality.
Is there any way to remove the foam without leaving some gaps and holes that can trap water causing rust?

Seriously,...every road expansion joint is felt like I over-inflated my tire pressure.
Every road imperfections is felt much more than before..
And for those who is familiar with driving on the Penang Bridge,...just to let you know, even when driving on Penang Bridge at normal speed,...it feels harsh,...the ride feels too busy and harsh.
And during traffic jam at Penang Bridge,... when you crawl slowly,...you feel every road imperfections there.....the absorber is not able to supress any uneven road surface. Without foaming, you don't feel this road unevenness due to chassis flex.

Can you imagine how it feels when you drive over poor road conditions and seeing your pregnant wife holding her stomach?
