Strut brace roll bars etc

[Phuakangtao]

There is an argument that fixing such aftermarket braces may make your veh prone to accident as the flex in the body is required .. And the adage if it was so good the mfgr would have included as they are just steel bars and bushings

You are so damm right.

All those roll cage cars I see on ESPN always involved in one accidents or another.

It does makes the car perform at extreme dangerous levels. If the driver is not skilled enough to handle the rigid car, they will get into serious accidents.

both types of bars illegal in sg right?

 

strut and roll

[Phuakangtao]

I think it gives a false feeling of stability at corners worst is tires cmi and car is low end

[SimonTan]

just like a performance car like farrari gave people a false sense of safety.

A powerful car like farrari, does indeed accelerate faster, and slow down quicker. only because of its powerful engine and strong brake/tyres.

But all cars face the same road and rubber adhesion physical limits.

Flex in body is largely only for comfort. It is so that the driver & passengers don't feel the harshness of the roads. But all the flexing will make the suspension face in different directions rather than maintaining the tyre contact on the road. So body flex usually reduces traction.

As above. It is for comfort. Performance is sacrificed for comfort. Just like in a Go-Kart which has practically no "comfort" but has practically the best handling...

strut and roll

 

If talking about LTA and inspections, I don't think anyone has been failed for installing strut and anti-roll bars...

 

...but insurance claims may be a different matter. They would void your insurance even for things which are clearly improvements so long as they were not told...
