Hi,

I have just recently purchased a Jazz VTI-S 2003 model. Is it worth it putting the front and rear strut braces and lower front and rear control arms on the car for greater handling.

What brand/ supplier do people recommend.

Regards

Ben

I think you will feel a slight improvent with the strut braces.
I dont think the control arms will do anything.

as for brands, i dont know

do a search this topic has been covered in abundance

chasis strengthening is a must for a jazz, im running a 'H' bar, anti roll bars and tanabe tower bars to the front and rear

dont forget to lower the car first though, the jazz is dam high stock and even after a couple inches drop you will be only level with most sedan cars

doesn't really matter about the brand as long as good quality material are use.
Spoon, Mugen etc if on budget look for Xforce and Summit

struct bar will make your car body with less flex when you are going around a corner.
Jazz already have a very strong body base so I would focus on suspensions setup

get some shocks and spring or coilovers, also change the sway bar (anti-roll bar) to a larger diameter at the front and back. This will improve less body roll

also get some grippy tyres too if you want better cornering.

You will get the biggest gains by upgrading the suspension....

Then look at the bars to finish it off and tighten her up a bit
