myvi 6 pieces hw much arr??any1 test b4

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

I'll get them in the near future, but I'll have to make sure those rings are installed by someone authorized. Imagine the mechanic unsure on what to do when he tries to figure out what it is

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.

Well, mind introducing to your friendly mech and his location?

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.

bad news..today went to get the stiff rings to be installed on my myvi..however, got problem in centering the subframe chassis hole to the main chassis hole while installing the stiff ring.. the whole piece of subframe chassis needs to be moved to correct the centering for all 4 holes..could only install the stiff rings for 2 holes, then the another 2 holes hard to center it for stiff ring installation..in the end, abandoned the stiff ring upgrade, all removed..

anyone experienced such situation in myvi? can the whole piece of subframe chassis be moved in order to correct the centering of hole for all positiion??

So to say your subframe has been misaligned from the factory

any advice what should be done? do you think it is possible to realign the whole piece of subframe? I really want to try out the stiff rings..

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!!

I think they have tried loosen all bolts with stiff rings on it, but the subframe is too stubborn cant be moved to do the centering..

when u meant to tighten each bolt bit by bit in diagonal sequence, do u mean tighten every bolt in Left,Right,Left,Right (X pattern, similar to tightening rims lug nuts method) sequence??

so, the advantage of stiff rings is better handling?
may i ask how do u guys measure it? e.g. during turning?
i don't see how it'lll improve turning, thought it's already pre-set.
sorry i'm noob

your best bet is to contact stiffrings themselves

It reduces/eliminates freeplay between the subframe and and the chassis, therefore it can theoretically result in better steering response and less lateral movement of the suspension arms.

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.

So based on the above, is it safe to say that new cars/cars with good steering response will not need stuff rings?

Nope. Even brand new cars stand to gain from installing Stiff Rings...

Fyi my car was only abt 8 mths old when I installed mine. And the difference in feel esp @steering wheel was immediate & of significance.
At installation time, the gap in the subframe bolt holes cld be seen! And that gap was filled up by the Stiff Rings!
Juz imagine the forces at play with that kind of gap...when the car is in motion?

To me, it's a small investment...
Not like a bodykit which is yelling at everyone else on the road!
Stiff Rings are small, not seen BUT felt...
No one knows except the car owner...

Added on February 5, 2012, 8:36 pmps. A good example of how much the subframe bolts & relative holes in the bodyshell could be so MISaligned is that of Bro Taaron's case.

If the subframe holes are well-aligned to fit the holes in the body, then putting in the Stiff Rings wld hv been a breeze! With even spacing in the holes for the bolts? Kinda centralised? Correct?

However, it's so out of alignment that it was practically impossible to juz directly slot in the Stiff Rings to bolt them together!! The SPACE just wasn't there!!
