Obviously this is just those little gimmick for body structure reinforcement. Pardon me to be optimistic. A true/real reinforcement should come from suspension, arm, bar those..

Guys FOC aka Forte Owners Club arranging for GB for Eagle Eyes Headlamp. Currently discussing with Eagle Eyes directly to give a good price. Anyone interested? The price will be given out soon.

only interested once price is out....

Will update once they have come up with the price. They planning to a few packages : headlamp only, headlamp plus taillights, headlamp + taillights + front nefd bumper....

Of course, no budget what to do?

Ya, try that out first. Remember the feel of before installing when you go through sharp roundabouts. You get the idea.

Lol yeah.... UR bars still can maa but suspension not for now.

Small things add up you will feel the difference. I particularly cannot remember how stock car feels anymore after the bars, rings, cushion and all. Need to drive back stock car to get the feel back. If you are satisfied with how the car handled, then good.

That is the reason why mod should do step by step. If not enough, go to a higher level. Get the adjustable. But not everybody wants or need to go to the next level.

My friend told me that the stock tyre is BLOODY GOOD noise level, 1.6 is SUPER powerful, so no need to mod anything. But I know we have different requirement.

I want to do the adjustable, but 3k perset of adjustable is too much at this moment. I am happy with the car in total for now, but of course until I drive a car with adjustable. I might get self poisoned. Who knows?

But I still think chasis reinforcement is a different sector from suspension. The 2 however has the linkage with car handling.

guys...
some opinions on these oil pls....

FOC and MFC got TT, go check the FB group.

no budget > keep stock standard ! HERE RM few hundred, there few hundred...and all trial and error....must well make sure what u need...u need adjustable, comfort gone.

Err, I know what I need but if don't do trial and error how I know if this will work for me? What worked for you might not work for me. You think it is a waste, I don't. There is always a possibility that it might work but I don't like how it turned out.

Adjustable is there to let you fix the hardness of the suspension to you liking comfort no? Else why call it adjustable?

Also, why you butt hurt when I spend MY few hundreds here and there? I just don't like the way you phrase it as if the poor has to stay eating maggi their entire life.'No money? Don't bother to save up to go shangrila once a while la. Die eating maggi!'.

Yeah not everyone can afford what you ca afford. And different ppl have different taste and requirements. You phrase it out very negatively as though only the rich has the right to do it. I agree with you lingleeyen.

I only know this is "Honda" oil.
A workshop boss told me

(I'm considering 10w40 Fully oil for my old car.)

Bro lingleeyen..

thanks for the elaborated explanation.. gives me the goose bumps just reading it..
What u said makes perfect sense. i think i'll be ordering those stiff rings very soon..

What about the installation? easy enough?

u mentioned about installing a rear lower arm bar to complement those stiff rings.... would an ARB do? i already have it installed. afraid that if i were to add more it will make the car too stiff...

thanks again..

car modification is all about experimenting with trial and error. Experience was gained from this trial and error which at time, could be useful for members driving the same car. Words itself sometimes cannot describe the feeling and effect of the resulting additional modification due to the difference of subjectivity, expectation and perspective. Sometimes, becoming too sure of what you need will ended up with what you don't want the most.

Do the mod one by one bro. Test and really feel if that one mod is useful for you or if it is placebo. Step by step also allows you to stop once you are satisfied.

I would say let the pro do the stiff ring installation. It can take a good 30 minutes with de-bolt, greasing and tighten with the correct torque. I would not recommend DIY.

I would assume that you have front tower bar too besides that ARB. Feel the rigidity first of the whole drive after the stiff ring. Drive around more to decide. If you feel it is enough, stop. I thought I had enough only to find that my hands got itchy 2 months later. So I add on the rear lower arm bar (RLAB) to try try see see. I am happy with the result.

ARB and RALB is installed at a different position and doing different work. Not sure if you have looked under the car. If you are looking at the spring as a straight vertical line, the absorber is diagonal. They are not on the same line like the front.

ARB is installed at the bottom of the spring mounting. The ARB pull the 2 sides of mounting together. The springs now works up and down simultaneously in ideal condition. Therefore you will feel the stiffness on uneven road. By establishing these 2 mountings' dependency, the body roll effect is reduced by one side of the tyre being pulled to the ground by the other during cornering. Fortunately and unfortunately, ideal condition does not exist and ARB actually flexes. That is why you won't feel like sitting in a Triton, but still gives you the reduction in body roll effect. I must admit that the drive is slight stiffer than stock on uneven roads. With this flex also, ARB can only claim to reduce but not eliminating the body roll effect.

RLAB is installed slight in front of the ARB. The diagonal suspension lower end will go to a sub frame, which goes to a metal linkage which goes to the main frame. So the linkage will be taken off, leaving 2 holes at one side. 4 holes on both left and right, hence the 4 points bar. This bar is actually a replacement to the metal linkages. Eventhough the linkage is solid, heavy, but the bar is stronger, hence less flex, which in turn generates a better absorber direction behaviour. Pulling the main frame and sub frame together also strengthens the whole chasis. No more feeling like falling apart.

Where do you plan to go to do the stiff ring?
