Stiff Rings (Local)...Rigid Collars (Spoon)....

"New Kids on the Block"? Not seem 2b able to get many reviews via Google...nor in most car forums...
Same difference?

Anyone has installed them in their cars?
Benefits?
Pros & Cons?
Impressions?
Any opinions?
Any comments?

TQ for sharing...

imitation stuff, cheaper
offers benefits whatever spoon did

slightly better handling, can feel the ride is more "rigid"

"Spoon" is well-known brand...and so is the high cost!!:p
Wat users need is 2get same/similar benefits @ affordable prices! Esp for the Man in the Street!
To enjoy a better ride... True?

So with "Stiff Rings", can we expect such?

Tks 4link2, Bro!
And Bro mADmAN, tks 4heads up re mod investment!

And no Cons, Bro huakenny? Dat's great...considering not much publicity given abt this mod...
A simple yet effective mod 2apply 2our rides!

Seriously need 2consider...

Your front will be snappier than before, car is more solid over bumps and etc

Race Tech's CAK is the most affordable ones already for our Proton cars, the rest will have to opt for Stiff Rings which is a little pricier but still worth the investment

+1
Another positive response! Tks, Bro!

Affordabilty wise :
1. Race Tech CAK
2. Stiff Rings
3. Spoon Rigid Collar (most expensive ?)

Btw is fitting such an item DIY-able? Or need an experienced mech to put them onto those subframe bolts?
Wld b a total disaster if engine dropped!!

Added on January 8, 2012, 9:31 pmLocally, it appears Spoon Rigid Collars are not available for most local car makes/models.

Race Tech CAK also not cater to cars owned by the layman.

Stiff Ring seems 2b expanding its range for P1 & P2 models. Prices also kinda affordable since such mods are a 1-time thing.

As is, for time being... P1/P2 choices are kinda limited. Or is that a wrong perspective?

So, does the QC & materials used hv any disadvantage or even a cause for concern of the different products?

NB. Juz need 2state here that I'm not, in any way, associated with all the above manufacturers.

i dun think normal car owner can DIY unless u r familiar with all this jobs and got those equipment/tools to perform the job

Yup, and you need to jack the whole car up to do a better job, then go under the car......

OIC. Steps appear so simple & straightforward...Haha! Paiseh...
Main prob is dun hv supplier cum installer @my place! Not like in Klang Valley!
Gotta buy & get via courier wan. Then need 2get reliable mech 2install...

If goto car SC, will the procedure void car warranty?

Yours is a new car? I thought this rigid collar more for older cars?

New car or old car also the tolerance gap will be there already one out of factory

I hv hydraulic jack & axle stands to use.
However, main concern is whether can remove 1 subframe bolt @a time. Any danger of subframe (engine etc) falling?

Also how to insert upper "washer" inbetween subframe & car body.

Wonder if normal mech guy can do it? Save all and worry, rite?

Thot wanna maintain good geometric config of subframe b4 bolts get out of alignment. Keep it new lo. Then no worries...

Added on January 9, 2012, 8:05 amYup, that's very true.

Old car much more mah! Wear and tear, bump up and down loosen some more. I once in a while do the bolt tightening.....

u can tighten the bolt all u want... it still wont be centered....

they give extra clearance in the subframe to help ease assembly...make it faster.


the collars are not meant to tighten the subframe... its to make it centered

Still better then loose and noisy......
