Kelisa + strut bar (ARB, undercarriage, etc), is it worth the money?

I like spirited driving, i like good handling. It is worth if i spend on strut bar, or i should enjoy my kelisa as it is. How is the fun factor with strut bar, is it really good? Never try these thingy before. Comment plz. Thanks.

Added strut bar can feel more stable at cornering and bonus to padel more with hardcore drive.My advise you can add on in front both suspension strut bar to be tie together only This post has been edited by kimsim: Dec 24 2012, 11:40 AM |

ive added anti roll bar at the back for my kelisa. it helps in hugging corners a lot. the downside is the standard exhaust will rattle against it and make some ugly sound.

QUOTE(r3apers @ Dec 24 2012, 01:58 PM) i dunno, it affects mine with clack2 sound. and it dampens when the rpm is higher. went to several shops already sound still persist. anyway get used to it already.QUOTE(kimsim @ Dec 24 2012, 02:06 PM) if youre not bothered while cornering, its not a must. as for me i like to hug corners more and kelisa's rear suspension known for its softness. what i've done for mine (bear in mind others remain stock) in that particular order 1. slap ARB with standard abs + spring 2. change rear spring with L2 srping 3. change proride abs + spring (this is a stiff set up for me) but tyres do play a part as well QUOTE(kimsim @ Dec 24 2012, 02:06 PM) its too hard for my liking, to me kelisa's body is too small for adjustable (with hi-lo only). if you have extras try to get soft hard as well in your set up. never driven kelisa with that set up thoThis post has been edited by SlomoX: Dec 24 2012, 02:37 PM |

Thanks. it's worth to spend, but don't put too much. the structure bar weight will slow down your pickup speed. i have install the 4 point front structure bar. batter connering. stable at high speed also. |

I do drive like you with smaller cars...what I found out, it get outclass by bigger cars easily especially in corners and straights (unles you are using Turbo).
Then, when you start to drive with bigger car, you will find it is no way a sports car...but typical family car... The typical cars you see on the road are not made for spirited driving...unless it has been modified extensively. My advice, change shocks/springs and use extreme tires...but for your rims, extreme tires are hard to get. Once you start to modify more you will find out that your cars limits easily reach...and its not enough..with better suspension setup you can really rev the engine...then become accelerated wear and tear... |

Self-indulgent fun alone on the road ehh... haha, fit my description. How fast can i go with a stock kelisa, nahh...i'm neither a speed demon nor like to smoke other car, oso not a reckless driver. just enjoying revving higher on my kelisa compared to others would treat their kelisa and take this wonderful "fish" swim gracefully.
