OK. sorry.. my my......

what I actually meant is which is better in term of improving stability and increase comfortness
*
bars wont increase comfort
stiff ring *may* increase comfort however at a very minor level, subjective

bars only improve stability during corners.
stiff rings does help on all around straight ways/corners however again, at a minor level too and depends on your vehicle.

seems like you've had stiff ring for quite some time. mine sharing if there's any difference performance on your ride today compared with the first day you installed it? doesn't matter if it's just a placebo effect, just interested to know your opinion.
*
umm seems like no difference from first day till now. what difference before and after stiff ring, just search by my post only in this thread as i believe i've done a short review about this

I think those stiff ring are made to be "soft so it can be "mold" according to the joint surface. So it does look like coca cola tin i guess.
Question, do they sort of put some glue on the stiff ring? Scare some mechanic throw away thatstiff ring after un screw something. or even if they put back, it wont be d same liao. laugh.gif
*
actually no, they are supposed to be stiff/rigid so that it can withstand the force being pressured to hold the gaps together.

and no they do not put glue on the stiff ring. so you should be present if you want to make sure your stiff ring don't get discarded when you do repairs/replacement that involve opening up parts that has stiff ring installed.

ya... I know that's one of the reason I thought give it a try without spending a bomb...

Anyway.... just live with it.... another reason why I always advise others keep stock standard... dun waste $$$ modding.  laugh.gif

Got an acceptable ride and handling after adjusting my suspension several times. Should have done that first rather than trying out the stiff ring.  biggrin.gif

well i had it on my iswara and there was definitely improvement (well butt dyno la laugh.gif )

didn't got it for my inspira since manufacturing/assembly process has come a long way since then and tolerances should be much tighter than it was for the iswara (which is what things like stiff ring improves on)
