comfort wise, i don't see any significant improvements as i'm using low profile tyres..

noise wise, driving through rough roads, still got some noise, but those noise are from my interior parts (dashboard and other plastic panels)..

handling wise, can't really judge the performance of it as my stock absorbers are too soft even i'm now using stiffer springs from QNC21 spec, therefore cornering feels floaty..

however, there is 1 obvious difference after getting those rings installed..passing over speed bumps makes a difference, not sure how to explain but it is a positive result..

not really many mods done, btw things that i've installed that affect handling are front strut bar, rear anti roll bar, sport springs (Toyota bB specs) and the 17" wheels..the floaty handling feel might be due to the stock absorbers and soft sidewall tyres..

my main improvement not sure if it is the steering wheel, but a type of different feel when going through speed bumps..much more firm and steady i would say..

I've done the stiff ring installation too.

Mine is Latio.

Front totally feel nothing. Was wondering too why the rings are place on the supporting frame, but not the subframe.
Kind of disappointed though, since already pasang then just leave it there lar. laugh.gif

Rear, yes. I would say 70% improvement. Now go over bumpy road or speed bump also nice and firm feel.

speaking of rear, my rear axle bush "issue" is made very apparent most likely due to the stiffened frame thanks to stiffrings. so yea, got annoying squeaks and need to eliminate it when going over bumps sweat.gif

I just installed an 8 pcs set stiff ring for my perdana v6.. done at Top Secret Performance in Kota Damansara.. Total cost with installation RM300.. Effect wise not quite as expected, but immediate effects noticable was better steering feedback and feels more stable around corners. Ride over bumps feels a little smoother than before. But I feel it is still quite expensive for a set of rings... hahaha

No, UR lower arm and bars work for different purpose.

I have all those bars in my cars too. The rings are for different purpose, I still get very good response for the rear by installing the rings. But the front is totally no feel... doh.gif

I have front, rear lower arm and ARB 18mm.

i saw the video from Spoon on their Rigid Collar, now understand better on their purpose smile.gif

but i was quoted RM320 (for 3 pair of front rings and 1 pair for rear) without installation, not cheap leh...

ei... you don't have the front upper strut?

oh... i read your review at the top, really not much difference at the front leh?

Yes, for Latio is RM320.00. You own a Latio too?

Yes, I have front strut too. But since these rings are installed at the bottom, so I didn't mention anything not related lor... Takkan I need to tell I change air filter also meh ... tongue.gif

Front rings ah? Really no feel. They are fitted into the supporting frame, not the subframe... I believe other cars are fitted into the subframe directly, hence better feedback from the car control.
Latio, definitely no no effect...

But the rear, you will definitely like it what more if you already changed to after market absorber...

Just got the Stiff Rings installed into my City.

Very good effect. Very firm and steady drive from now on... laugh.gif

You should know how lousy is the Honda City chasis, with these rings installed, it improves the effect when you drive thru uneven road.

UR bars already improved the driving experience. With these rings, it is like improve the handling much more....
