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.

i have UR upper strut, lower arm bars front and back and 16mm ARB... most probably i won't feel the handling improvement as much as you...

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....

bro, which model of City and how much? front also can feel now?

My is City 4.5G VTEC.

I think you have misunderstood the rings for the car.

Different cars got different structure, hence the rings also different. Latio is different from City, is different from Myvis, is different from Vios, is different from Proton.

In Latio case, the front 4 rings are not helpful.

In City case, every ring is helpful.

In your Vios case, I dunno. If you are interested, get the diagram of the Rings from your fellow Vios owner. Then ask around if the rings are helpful or not.

I actually have a lot of doubt of those ppl that have installed for Livina and Latio to say it brings a lot of effect. If they say rear, I would agree. Front, I will say no.

Stiff Ring and chasis bar serve different purpose.

But for my latio, 2 spots were sharing between the rings and the bar.

For the rear, it is either the ring or the bar... I choose the bar. Chasis stronger, get more comfort into my driving thru uneven road.
