Just got all the struts installed today :D

Tried doing some cornering and the handling is 100% better than before. :thumbsup::thumbsup::thumbsup:

For $350.00 it is a real bargain. Thanks danny (a.k.a zimp13).

I would recommend this to anyone, it is well worth it.

THis will be a nice addon to my goal for making my Jazz handle like a go-kart. The only thing I wish we had, was a front frame-brace.

:D i know this is out of topic, but have anyone here tried those 'foam-stiffening' for the chassis?

basically what it does it you inject a certain kinda foam into the A & B pillars as well as the door sills on the bottom...the foam expands and hardens almost rock hard and its supposed to stiffen the chassis while reducing road noise & vibrations into the cabin.

apparently its used by a few car manufacturers in their luxury models and also some car tuners used it for their race cars.

i've actually read about this product when i went back to malaysia recently for holidays. it was featured in one of the local car magz, and apparently they said it was good. so i went to the shop to check it out, the guy showed me a sample of the foam poured into a mineral water bottle....the bottle was just rock hard! no kidding! and it weighed almost like an empty bottle too. i was really interested to try it out but unfortunately he didnt wanna sell any to me to bring it back to Oz....would have loved to experiment with it myself :D

the shop's in KL, somewhere near the Vistana Hotel. i dont know why he didnt wanna sell to me, but he said that he orders it from USA or something. i actually think it will work in a way coz filling up the hollow pillars and door sills should be able to cut down some road noise and vibrations...should make for a more pleasent ride and might improve the stereo sound quality....
