Any experience with spring stiffeners ?
Ying:
oic... So size B for mostly light load driving and size C for mostly loaded driving as it need more compression to feel the effect? Size B is fine with me now, next time when it wear out then try sice C lah. Btw how much is the alutec strut bar cost?

Ying, how bumpy is the ride with size b stiffeners? Any difference? I like the idea of stability, but not the bumps... :(
My strut bar cost slightly less than $180 plus installation. Cos Autobacs having a 20% off Alutec struct bar. So the price is $150+. Installation is $20. I went there last Sat, tok to the salesperson. So I tink he bought in 1 bar. He din call me but i called autobac yest. So took the one and only one for latio and now it is in my car... :yehyeh:
Ying:
no wonder I did not see any sturt bar for latio there last time.
Using size B, not too bumpy with wife and one kid at the back, noise when driving over the speed strap reduced. I think my rear spring it too soft for me, so Size B just nice for my case.

Size B is "bigger" than C apparently. B will fit just nice on the springs after pushing up a little, while C fits easily without jacking the springs. As a result, B in a way stiffens the springs more than C. Cos for you to experience the effect, the springs will have to be compressed if you install Size C. Size B allows little movement. So if you install size B, your ride in general will be bumpier. For size C, it will only cushion the impact when u go over humps.
In the end i did not install. Cos from Ah Yuan, since i seldom carry full load, no CNG tank installed, and I'm not so comfy with bumpier ride (in exchange for more stability), he advised me to delay until i actually experienced the bumper hitting. :unsure:
That's some sharing for the bros and sis here regarding the stiffeners... ::)
btw size C is out of stock. only size b left. according to ah yuan, new stocks will only come in in Feb...

No wonder mine is size C as I have a CNG tank at the back of the boot. ;D
Yup, going over speed traps and expansion strips (AYE) is much dampened
Ying:
Oh, may be that's why he want to check at the spring first before telling me which size to get.
