[QUOTE="jswong, post: 1063454145, member: 8004"] My personal experience with UR bars in my old Wira - 3 point fender bars, 4-point front strut bar, room bar, and rear 3-point bar - These bars worked as advertised in numerous ways. My suspension setup is just a combination of Sapura springs and APM Performax shock absorbers, so the car wasn't lowered by much and it's still comfortable when driven over bumps. During hard cornering and all, the car feels more planted with the bars on than they were before I installed the bars. And that's when I'm driving with 205/45R16 tyres. It's still comfortable when I drive over road undulations, probably because I don't have those hard-as-a-rock short stroke or adjustable suspension kits. There was a time when my car was hit by another car that flew out of a junction while I was on the main road and had right-of-way. The driver was SMSing and didn't pay attention to driving. The front end of my car got struck at an angle, and due to the speed, the car continued smashing up the rest of the front end of my car, resulting in the destruction of my entire front bumper, the radiator, headlamps, bonnet, etc. The front panel was totally smashed that the body shop had to knock it out and weld a replacement front panel assembly (the front section to which the headlamps, radiator, etc. are mounted). To the bodyshop's surprise, they expected the front bulkheads to require pulling, since the car struck the front half of my left fender. But after removing the damaged wheel and the fender panel, they discovered that the bulkhead only needed knocking to straighten out the dent on its front end, and the chassis alignment for my whole front end was intact. The surprised bodyshop mechanic attributed the lack of chassis distortion to the 3-point fender bars and the 4-point strut bars that had vastly improved the strength of my car's front end. He said that usually in such cases, they would be putting those hooks and chains at the bulk head and straightening them out, but in my case, it's all just knocking and panel-beating. [/QUOTE]
