No lah. Don't intend to get roll cage. Merely postulating a wild theory.
Apart from skipping the beam under the front seats and those in the roof, I think all other places progressively foamed the past few months. Originally started as a soundproofing project. Midway got detoured to improving handling. So far, I am satisfied with the overall result.
On this C99, I have fender bars, 2pt alloy front strut bar & Stiff Rings installed front/rear. Planning to upgrade the rear ARB. This car doesn't go on track. So no need for 23mm unit. Indecisive whether to get 16 or 19mm units. Or should I stick with the stock ARB?
Any suggestions? The taman where I reside has numerous road humps. Have to consider the comfort factor. I occasionally drive to Genting. Upgrading the ARB will help address understeer. Recently the Genting road added many new thickish lines (speedbreakers). The drive up was okay but the Wira didn't enjoy bouncing over them on the way down. Not sure if foaming the side sills will help. Will find out on my next trip.
@^pomen_GTR^, I noticed you didn't mention rear tower strut bar. Does it mean you find them
'not that useful'? I am contemplating it but still unsure if I want to sacrifice boot space. Any feedback on this will be greatly appreciated.
Yalor, this is the main reason holding me back from overdoing my car. Car is already 19 years old. Have a Proton Preve for outstation trips. Over the past 2.5 years, the Wira having a manual transmission wasn't utilised much. After getting used to the Preve, each time I drive the Wira I find the road noise/drone intolerable. Which was what led to the soundproofing project. After making the recent changes, it is now a much nicer ride. Now backside itchy already.
Come to think of it. If I had made these changes before buying the Preve, I might not have made the purchase. :hmmmm: Weighing less, the Wira traverses road humps better. Definitely zippier than the Preve. Currently also thinking of getting FTuned coilovers but that's another dilemma. After last round of autofoam, I'm happy with the current ride. Worried if the coilovers will ruin the honeymoon. Normally I would wait a few months; get used to the autofoam before deciding if I need coilovers but GST (Gomen Suka Tax) is coming. If I buy now, it will be cheaper.
Any thoughts gentlemen?

Agreed .. but then again even with proper roll cage if the car turns turtle, without 4pt harness seat belt, I think we'll still suffer neck injuries.
