anyone with Myvi installed stiff rings, any feedbacks? I'm planning to redo my alignment, might as well install the stiff rings first so that 1 time finish do the alignment.

great..i just found out that there is an authorized dealer around my place..i'm going to get it

i have 1 question..i've noticed some ppl installed 2 sets for top and bottom..is the Stiff Ring set (6pcs) for Myvi considered full set? or do I need to get 2 sets to make it complete?

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??

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..

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??

Hi Stiff Ring,

My location is in Kota Kinabalu, Sabah, therefore I could not visit you and your panel installer in Cheras. There's only 1 authorised dealer (Derek) over here which he had assessed my subframe to be misaligned and unable to progress further on the installation. Anyone able to help out around my location?

Thanks for following up on my problem

got bang b4, but hit dog only (bumper area) and also a very slight knock on front bonnet which is not considered significant, both different occasion.. based on the installer, he mentioned that the stiff ring could be installed if the subframe can be moved. Is the subframe movable?

currently still waiting for them to contact me, no news at the moment.

there's only an authorized dealer for Stiff Ring in KK, so shouldn't be difficult to figure out..hehe..bro, are you up to the task for installing the stiff rings for me? the dealer told me that it would be better if someone can help to do slight realignment on my subframe chassis and kaotim the installation. can help me ka bos?

no problem with that as i'm not urgent to get it done..

as per the KK dealer, he is going to fit the stiff rings on another myvi, after that he will let me know the outcome..

hehe, sure i'll go visit him as he has assured me installation no problem..

yea, have visited u last time for sideskirts and door panel.. before i go to ur place for the stiff ring installation, i'll ask the dealer first what's the status as he not yet update me for a long time, the rings still with him now..will sms u for the arrangement at a later time, now quite busy..

hey bro, my case no news..lol..i just saw the pics u have posted on FB..this Saturday i'm available, plan to make appointment with you for the stiff rings..are you ok on this Saturday and is stock available?

not yet buy..hehe..ok then, i'll visit u on this Saturday to get them installed, reserve 1 set for me

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..
