Added on January 12, 2012, 4:20 pmHi! Me installed my Stiff Rings liao!! Finally!!
Install'n took less than 15 mins!!
Did so @reg SC! UNofficially la! Haha!

First impressions? On drive home?
VERY significant lack of vibrations felt @ steering wheel even on very uneven & pot-holed roads!!

Generally overall lack of vibrations felt in car...phew!

Happy me took the "plunge"...

Will give more feedback when make another outstation trip soon...CNY?

Yup, simple mod but shows its worth under worst conditions!
Comes in really "handy" when one needs it most!

Moral here : NEVER fear the unknown...AND expect the UNexpected!!

Juz 2share... Pic of set of Stiff Rings for my PS 1.3FL Exec Auto :

Nice & shiny stuff...haha!
My ride needed only Stiff Rings for front subframe bolts. So only 2 pairs...

Above pic shows subframe bolt affixed with lower Stiff Ring. Upper Stiff Ring is in upper hole of subframe...not visible.

RM200+ only for those which need at least 4 pairs ( 8 pcs )...if me not wrong...
Moreover, it's a 1 time payment & install. Also custom made for yr car make & model.

Ya lo... Juz kenot understand how ppl can spend lots more for bodykits, spoilers, etc which are juz 2beautify...even add unnecessary weight & xtra clearance probs??

And they are NOT willing 2spend this RM200+ (or only RM110 for BLMs/FL/FLX) which wld contribute towards one's ride comfort, stability, safety, better control, etc???

Lack of info & understanding??

There's a kinda perpectual saying...

"Take care of the car AND it'll take care of you!!"

So do maintain yr ride well & it'll serve yu well, too!

Found it 2b 100% true...in all my years of driving!!
NVR had 2leave my ride by roadside at all!!

That's why me spent my $$$ on making my ride as "well" & "healthy" as me can afford.

As they say, too ... "Beauty is ONLY skin-deep!"
See so many cars with bodykits which are cracked, broken, discoloured, etc.
Not suitable for our "horrible" roads...

ps. Me had nvr washed my all my rides' engine bays!

Happy 2C yu guys finally appearing in car forum!
Frankly, as is, very few know of Stiff Rings as alternative for Spoon's Rigid Collars.
And esp of same good effects that Stiff Rings can give instead of a much much more expensive item.

Moreover many not know Stiff Rings are available for many local makes...

Will be driving my ride (with Stiff Rings installed) for first time on Hiway...abt 2 x 120+/- Km during CNY.

Will post impressions after CNY Hols.

As is, steering appears having a more direct response tho after few days driving arnd city.

So, in the meantime, Happy CNY, Everyone!!

Pricing depends on no. of points. 4 pts (8 pcs Stiff Rings) abt RM200+.
My FL only 2 pts (4 pcs) required so RM110 nia.

Installation charges = variable. By reg mech can b as low as RM10!!
Normal rates RM20/30.

Pls chk out earlier posts here by Stiif Rings ppl for more info or juz Google for Stiff Rings.

Suggest find out root cause of yr sound prob first...
Then only can the solution be correctly applied.
Good luck!

Found a friendly mech @fav SC who was helpful enuf 2do install off-record!
Got Stiff Rings Dealer nearby but was sick & not wanna open shop...

Go for it!!
Works for all cars/models...
Small ONE-TIME investment only!

Good4yu, Bro!!

Wish yu all the very best!
As long yu do not xpect miracles, yu'd b happy with the improvement...

Pls chk the Installation Leaflet/Instructions that come with the Stiff Rings...got pics/diagrams on locations of subframe bolts & how to insert them.
Acc2 the info @website (incl pics), a complete set for MyVi is only 6 pcs.
Pls refer here : http://www.stiffring.com/model.html

Me not use MyVi...sorry, Bro...
However, feel shld b arnd RM200+/-....
Try emailing Stiff Rings... info@stiffring.com

Try browse their website or send an email to them (ref earlier post) for info re nearest dealer/wkshop.

In my case, a first-timer mech cld install w/o prob cos clear instructions c/w pic & diagrams come enclosed with items. No worries.

UPDATE @6:24pm : Juz chk-ed their FBk pages....Price for MyVi is RM220 per set.

Nope. Install NOT incl.
However, charges vary. My friendly mech only asked for RM10 but me felt RM20 more reasonable cos he did install sp'ly for me!
Expected charges arnd RM20-30.

So sorry, Bro...
But yu kno la, it's a "personal" thing & the mech is @Proton SC sumore (UNofficially done)!!

Fr wat I was told, install shld b max RM30 by most wkshops. Kinda fast simple job nia.

Added on February 1, 2012, 4:11 pmps. If in2 DIY, a possible project! I cld not do so cos not hv enuf leverage 2loosen subframe bolt with std socket wrench...

Sorry 2hear re yr subframe so badly misaligned...

Somehow feel, if all points were properly fitted b4 try install Stiff Rings, mayb NOT tighten ALL points until ALL bolts & Stiff Rings are in place FIRST.

Then only...tighten each bolt bit by bit in diagonal sequence while checking proper seating of Stiff Rings.
Repeat till ALL bolts done.

Wish yu all the very best!!

Yup.
Feel the subframe alignment cld not b so far out if it was ok b4 trying 2install Stiff Rings. Logic, rite?

Anyway, Probably best bet is to follow advice given by ThunderGod_Cid as below:

Yup, Bro dares is correct!
Steering response is significantly improved. Even more so in an older car, where there's more wear & tear.
