Ok... those who are using these can comment on these struts... u can rate from 1-10 as well in the increased handling of the jazz.... as for prices, there is no doubt that it is the most affordable in australia....
personally, without any bias, i would rate xforce struts 8-9.... being 1-2 less than 10 cos there are other brands struts that do the same (i assume) which weigh probably a little lighter....
so any comments are welcomed.... thanx

Just with the front and rear top tower struts got to give them an 8 out of 10. The solder work isn't the most beautiful but they are practical.
The handling improvement is nothing short of amazing. Got to be one of the best value mods going. The blue matches the vividblue too. They are very light but I suppose carbon fibre would be lighter again but alot more expensive.
Makes the car alot more confident in the wet on days like today in Sydney.

yeah..i agree with you guys....the two are great.....straight after put it on......properly...hehe...(after getting rid of noise) then the car handles....really great......improvement i would say from "tests" are doing a normally 60 corner to doing it 80....dont know if this is due only the strut bars or also mentally...hhaha.......but certainly improves handling no matter which way you look at it..=)..... car feels alot tighter....no more floating around corners. also yes...the blue matches my vivid blue color very very well....only gripe is that the rear was a little hard to install......had about 4 tries....
1) couldnt get the bolt off the strut (realised needed hex key and spanner)
2)noisy tapping noise.....from metal ring of strut banging on the strut brace
3)got rid of tapping noise by removing metal ring......only to have tapping noise replaced with even more annoying squeaking noise due to rubber rubbing on strut brace
4)finally no more noise thanks to some foam rings i cut out and placed inbetween the strut brace and strut tower..=).....

heheheh... vividjazz, u got 2.... imagine if u got all 7.... Having only done sway bars, springs and shocks on previous cars didn't really know how good the strut bars would be. Got to say for this vehicle they are every bit as good as sway bars. If you can do the other 5 bars for a really good price you'd probably sell them to me. Though I don't know if the C-Pillar bar would interfere with the baby seat mountings. The other thing with these bars is they look the goods. |
