Upgrades: Suspension and Stiff Rings for Myvi Se1.5

Changing the rear absorber gives quite improvement,  reduces the bodyroll and lesser the sways when high speed cornering...
Paired with the Gab Sp. I just couldn't get to adjustable as taxying my family is still my main priority. Event with the Sp gives me hard time when the 'in house finance minister' keep complaining on how bumpy it is and why should spent things that reduces the comfort. Well i just told her that it saves fuel by less braking in cornering (seriously its a joke and dont take my words).
Doesn't really hurt my pocket but gives a lot of fun
 As for the stiff rings. I was looking forward for this. In my practice, we used to called it as 'top hat' and it is important as it aligns and holds the bolt properly so that your lower chasis and wishbone doesn't move too much when cornering.
That small thing like a washer that fills the gap between.

There are two pieces of stiff rings for this long bolt, one at the end and another is in between them.
I only installed the front set of stiff rings and it consists 6 pieces that costs rm2xx.. Theres improvement as the cornering feels more precise and stable.

I will continue in investing on suspension and chassis as I'm still satisfied with the stock engine output. But when the time comes, I gladly will share you on my soon to be engine upgrades.
