- Why do we need to install strut bars or sway bars?
You’re suitable to install the chassis strut bars if understeer happens when you’re driving.
We’ll suggest to install rear sway bar if the passenger feel dizzy when you’re driving.
- Do I need to install strut bars or sway bars if I’ve upgraded shock absorbers?
Most top models of BMW have electronic suspension control system that cause the price of shock absorber costs about USD 3103, removing the electronic suspension control system is included. From the point of cost-performance ratio, to install strut bars and sway bar is more worthy than modify shock absorbers, because our products can match the suspension system of original factory.
It depends on your budget to decide what to buy first, basically, all of the products could be used until you buy the new car. If you still want to modify shock absorbers, there are several things you need to know, leaking oil might happen, the hanging point may have abnormal sound, after few years passed, the shock absorbers are getting weakly, you need to spend USD 1800-2100 to get new one, but the original one is still good there, why don’t we let the original to achieve the biggest efficacy?
- What’s the function timing of chassis strut bars, sway bars and suspension system?
How about the strut bars? Strut bars are like a conductor, when the above-mentioned sports environment occurs, the body shell are received the violent pulling from every parts and fight back the tilting G force, they make the power transfer to other parts fast, that’s why KCDesign always emphasize our strut bars are for car body shell and not for frame of car. We focus on strengthening the body shell but not frame of car. The frame of car will transmit the force fast because of driving violently. The car body is too long to absorb forces at the same time, so that there is no way for shock absorbers to absorb shocks to cause the car is shaking. In other words, if you just strengthen the frame of car, the car body shell can’t absorb equally, then you'll feel the shock absorbers are touching the bottom. Through our product that we designed for every different car models, the force will be transmit to opposite angles fast, then the shock absorbers of four wheels will be steady and not hard.
Many car manufacturers utilize high quality steel to produce car body shell, it’s not only for the safety, but also creating steady feeling when you’re driving. So are our designed ideas, wish you will like it!
- What’s the feeling after installing front strut bar? Do I really need to modify my car?
- What will I feel after installing strut bars and sway bars?
After a set strut bars installing will have steady and half feeling is like installing rear sway bars, the tilting situation will be better a bit. Modifying rear sway bars will help shock absorbers and damping upgrading, so the rear car body will be neither too hard nor too soft.
- Do I need to change sway bar link if I install sway bars?
No matter modify sway bar link or not, it belongs to consumables, the lifetime is according to the using of situation. Now, you can understand that modifying sway bar doesn’t mean it will never be broken.

The followings are our Volvo customers' experiences for installing strut bars and sway bar:
Andy ChXXX:
My V60 D4 is original without modifying anything and almost over the warranty period. I have no idea with the car body structure, but I install strut bars and rear sway bar directly, the steering wheel is tighter obviously when I was driving slowly through the narrow road with many holes, I can feel the car is steady and less shaking.
I weaved in and out of traffic and made a big U turn fast (I’m just testing, don’t do these dangerous actions when you’re driving), the improvement of tilting, shaking and directivity is in evidence.
After testing, I bought the rear sway bar undoubtedly, there’s nothing change when I was driving back on highway but I tested it on other roads again, every problems like tilting and directivity have been improved after modification, my car is steadier than before truly.
I suggest that you guys just visit there, and try it. The boss isn’t afraid that you guys to test his products, so don’t be shy to try. Furthermore, you might meet somebody drives the same car as yours, then you guys can share your experiences to each other as well.
Hank XXX:
My car is V60 T5 RD 2013, I'm not satisfied with the jumped feeling of original R design chassis. There has no problem when I was driving on the highway, but city-road is really awful, my family who sat at the back seat feels uncomfortable, it’s hard to endure it even I sat in the front seat. After I read some article on net, some people suggested to modify 17 inch wheels or shock absorbers, however, the cost is more expensive than modification of strut bars. I also had a bad experience when I drove A4, there had abnormal sound after I modified the shock absorbers, that’s why I want to try strut bars this time.
After the reviewing the chassis and the needs of comfort I emphasized, I don’t really need rear sway bar, so I just try the strut bars only. The biggest impression is that the shaking of chassis is reduced apparently when I drove through not smooth road, it improved the shaking a lot. The car body is steadier but not too hard. The feeling of comfort is raised up as well, and the comfort is not because of soft. The comfort might be different from the original Dynamic chassis, but it has less vibration and shaking. It’s acceptable after installing strut bars. I never modified the car before, and always keep original setting, I’m willing to modify the strut bars due to I hope my family can sit it comfortably. The most important is that testing the function of product actually is better than what people said on the website, because the feeling people shared will be different after all, just try it by yourself, then you will know what you really need.
Chou XXXX:
I installed the strut bars this afternoon, when I was testing the car, the feeling such as what the previous users said. The rear car body becomes strong, jumped feeling is lighter, I just got used to them about ten minutes.
I drove about 50km on the high way, when I was switching the lane, turned my steer wheel and sped up, then I smiled. That’s the feeling that I desire for a long time, I really enjoy it a lot.
Mr. Tsai:
My car is D4 2014, I have installed SPR front strut bar and sub frame gasket, but the feeling is stronger after I installed rear sway bar, the rear car body followed up the speed easily and obviously, although I couldn’t say it’s brisk like rear-drive. However, comparing with original one, it’s really worth to install this product. When I was switching the lane on the highway, shaking is disappeared. Sorry for short impression due to I need to pick up my wife and daughter, I will share my experience after I try the strut bars.
Mr Liu:
My wife asked me to command KC sway bar. The passengers feel dizzy when I drove. From now on, my wife never felt dizzy when I drove intensely between Hsinchu and Kaohsiung, she even didn’t feel dizzy when she was using her phone and listening to music on the car now.
RyXX LXXX
Few days ago, I just post the problem of how could I improve tilting when I was making a turn in the club, I collected several suggestions from predecessors, the easy way is modifying sway bar.
I drove my wife’s back to her home this week, finally, I have chance to make a reservation with KCDesign to try the products the boss invented, he’s really enthusiasm that he wanted me to try the feeling of modifying whole strut bars, but my car is only for picking up my family, that’s why I just choose sway bars to modify, even though I really want to try them!
After the car is raised up, I just know there’s an original rear sway bar, it’s really thin that I can’t feel that thing is exist.
The boss installed the products rapidly, then we chatted about the ideas that why he invented these products, I can feel his enthusiasm about modified car, especially, I really admire that he’s brave enough to star his own business, the car was putting down at the meanwhile.
The boss said to me, “Ok, now you can test your car, you might feel the difference when you are reversing.” “Is that really amazing as what he said?” I thought. Guess what? I can feel the car body is steadier and road felling raised up, there’s no problem with too much jumped feeling, by the way, the most important is that the tilting is improved obviously when I was making a turn or switching the lane, that makes me feel, “Is this my car?” No wonder there are many predecessors said that please don’t try his products or you won’t want to remove it anymore, because his products are really awesome!
Tan XXX TXXX:
Here is the experience of modifying rear sway bar after two weeks, if there’s something wrong, just let me know.
@Introduction and Background
My car shakes intensely when I was switching the lane on the highway, the front bumper is positioned but the rear bumper can’t follow up.
One day, I drove my family up to the mountain, but we went back down after I drove only 6km, all of us feel dizzy although I made a turn with 40kph, slowed down in turn, sped up out the turn, after two s-shaped curves, I was blamed by my wife, I shocked too, because of there's nothing happened when I drove unmodified VGA, but why V60 had this problem? I don’t believe it happens no V60, so I tried again, this time is worse than last time, the first s-shaped curve makes me dizzy, then I discussed with the bosses and engineers of other brands, all of them said that the damping of shock absorbers can’t follow up, that cause the body hasn’t been positioned but shaking to another side, of course, it includes the bad driving behavior, so there are several plans can be considered as below:
- Costs lots of money to change suspension system. (The information below is from google and some netizen.)
- Change the rear sway bar
My experience is as below:
It just costs few minutes to install the product so that I forgot to take a photo, that’s why I’m not going to talk about the process. I tested the car when I was driving back to my company on the high way and city-road.
The obvious changing after installing is that the jumped feeling to be tender, it’s like the car body is shorter, the directivity is also better.
When I just left KC’s company, the force transferred fast and apparently when I was driving through the holes, the jumped feeling came and back fast, it didn’t vibrate after shaking or just be too soft, but somebody thought that is hard. In my opinion, that is tender and steady when I was making a turn.
However, the feeling of front suspension is clear that showed some weakness of headstock because I just installed rear sway bar, the rear car body is positioned when I was switching the lane in middle or low speed, but the headstock costed few seconds to catch up the speed, just like what KC’s boss said, “that’s the result that modify rear shock absorbers but original for the front one.” However, the feeling of front suspension is clear that showed some weakness of headstock because I just installed rear sway bar, the rear car body is positioned when I was switching the lane in middle or low speed, but the headstock costed few seconds to catch up the speed, just like what KC’s boss said, “that’s the result of people who just modify rear shock absorbers but original for the front one.”
I drove to the road which has less car, then I spin the steer wheeling on purpose, the car body is steadier, tilting is reduced almost gone when I was making a turn into highway, what it brought is making a turn with high-speed.
In the beginning, it should remain some space to position car body when I was switching the lane with high-speed, but I can drive into the main lane without spinning back my car body sedulously now. And what instead of driving through expansion joints is “boom” sound
※ 為何要改結構桿或是防傾桿?
只要你開車是溫馴的,覺得這台車超穩超讚,那您不適合購買這類產品。
當 您在開車時會發生 轉彎頭過身沒過,身過了之後車頭又轉向慢半拍,那您適合安裝結構桿。
當 您在開車時會發生 後座乘客臉色難看,一副殺人的模樣,那建議您後防傾桿趕快換。
※ 改避震器後還需要改防傾桿或拉桿嗎??
會改裝避震器的,不一定會改裝防傾桿或是結構桿,因為都相信好的一組避震器可以勝過防傾桿+結構桿。
但好的避震器怎麼定義?進口品牌動輒5萬起跳,安裝上去是否就真的適合每個人?也有朋友換了進口知名品牌後,覺得還是不夠來加防傾桿和結構桿的。
因為人都是好還想要更好,而BMW蠻多頂級車款因為是電子懸吊的關係,導致避震器動輒9萬(加上電子懸吊解除器)起跳,以CP值來說.防傾桿和結構桿 就超划算的,避震器反而會延後更換,因為我們所設計的產品,均以原廠懸吊搭配下就很足夠。
所以就看您的預算來決定要先買哪些東西,這些東西能用多久,基本是用到你換車它的效果都還在。
而改裝避震器用一用還有機會漏油,避震器上座掛點有異音要更換,過幾年衰退了又要再噴個5-6萬,原廠避震器用好好地又還沒壞,換了丟在那邊又可惜,不如好好將原廠避震器發揮到最大功效。
※ 避震器、防傾桿和結構桿的作用時機點為何??
避震器和防傾桿均屬於懸吊系統的一部分,所以兩者是會互相關聯的,以現今多數使用者在改裝避震器時,多數仍舊希望朝舒適化發展,所以會盡量找舒適偏操控的產品安裝,但安裝後側傾依舊會產生,尤其在大鵬灣等賽道上,指改避震器的側傾會非常嚴重,嚴重到感覺像沒有改避震器一樣。這時就需要靠改裝防傾桿來抑制側傾,讓避震器能夠真實的再反映路況,讓防傾桿去抑制側傾~
那結構桿何時發揮作用呢?在上述的運動環境產生時,全車車體都在承受各部位激烈的拉扯和抵抗側向G力,而結構桿在這情境下,可以把它想像成一個「導體」,他讓各部位的應力可以迅速傳遞到其他部位,這也是為何我們KCDesugn 底盤拉桿一直在強調我們做的是車體的拉桿,而非車架的拉桿,我們希望強化的是「車體」,而非是「車架」,因為在激烈操駕時,車架對於力的傳遞是相當快速的,但車體因為過長,並無法一起吸收作用力,避震器也沒有辦法確實地去吸震、避震。故會產生車體彈跳、漂浮或是搖晃的狀況,換種方式來解釋,若是單獨過度強化車架,則車體無法均衡吸收,就會產生死硬的路感,或是會覺得避震器觸底的感覺,但藉由我們專車設計的拉桿,可以將作用力快速地傳遞到對角,讓四輪的避震器可以一起作用達到沉穩的效果,而非死硬的感覺~~!
現在新世代的造車工藝,都採用號稱潛艇級高強度的鋼材來做車體,除了安全不讓他潰縮變形外,另外就是希望能創造扎實沉穩的行車感受,而我們的拉桿的設計理念也是如此,希望大家也會喜歡。
※ 裝引擎室拉桿有何感覺?有需要改裝嗎?
其實看Volvo R-Design版本的原廠引擎拉桿和BMW M4那隻就很清楚了,引擎室拉桿對於歐系車來說,其實重點除了美觀和性能的代表外,他是可以讓你車頭指向性變好,側傾也會減少一點,像有些品牌的車會有Sport模式的切換選項,方向盤就會變重一點 ,而加裝之後不用切過去就有類似的感受,間接路感會提升。
※ 安裝結構桿或防傾桿能有何感覺?
目前開發的大多數車型,安裝結構桿之後,避震器阻尼都會略硬,所以會稍微穩定一些,有類似防傾桿的感受,再來安裝結構桿所帶來的車身穩定度,是跟換裝防傾桿不同的。
整套結構桿是安裝後是沉穩+類似加後防傾一半的感覺..側傾狀況會比沒裝還好一點點。
換裝後防傾桿..會讓輔助避震器的阻尼再提升一些,所以後面會硬中帶Q。
※ 安裝防傾桿需要更換李子串嗎?
正常來說,只要是依照原廠設計的防傾桿,是不需要再一開始就更換原廠李子串,而坊間有可調式的李子串可以換裝,換了之後,因為已經改變原廠防傾桿的作動行程,所以可以帶來更硬的感受,但相對的李子串就會承受更大的扭轉力道,所以壽命相對性普遍會更低,但無論換或不換,無論改裝或是原廠的李子串都是屬於耗材類,依照每個人的使用狀況不同,壽命也不同~~所以不用覺得好像換了強化李子串之後就永遠不會壞,這觀念好好思考一下就能理解了~~
以下是部分車友換裝結構桿 或 防傾桿的心得:
Volvo V60 車友 - andy chxxx 現身說法:
我的是快過保、全車原廠未改的V60 D4。
因為我本身只懂開車但對車身結構等等是一竅不通,就直接裝上結構桿跟後防傾桿去測試。
剛開出去是鄉間小路,路窄且較多小坑洞,這時很明顯方向盤變緊了,雖然速度很慢,也能感覺車身變很穩,蹬到坑洞車身也不會晃來晃去。
開到大馬路後開始加速蛇行、大迴轉、高速轉彎(試車嘛,平常我不會這樣亂開的!),感覺是側傾改善非常明顯,車身也不再搖晃,操控更加到位。
後來後防傾桿就不拆了直接帶走,回程走二高到內湖,高速公路順順開時差異就不大了,後來接環東大道再亂開來試試沒有結構桿的差異(誤~),側傾、操控什麼的還是比什麼都沒裝前改善不少,但是沒結構桿真的有差,裝上時整體的穩定性好蠻多的。
建議有空的車友跑一趟體驗一下比較實際啦,老闆都不怕你們來試了不要客氣,而且還很容易遇到車友可以互相交流蠻不錯的!
Volvo V60 車友 - Hank xxx 分享一下試用結構桿的心得:
小弟的車是2013年V60 T5 RD,一直對原廠R DESIGN的底盤彈跳感非常不滿意。高速公路還可以,但是市區爛路的彈跳反應,別說後座家人不舒服,連我在前座都覺得實在受不了。參考網上許多文章,有人建議改17吋輪圈,有人建議改避震,但花費都遠比換結構桿要貴上許多,加上以前自己的老A4有換避震器後出現許多異音的壞印象,姑且就來試試結構桿。
在檢視了一下我的底盤和我強調舒適的需求後,覺得我並不需要後防傾桿,就只有單純試用結構桿。最大的感想就是,底盤的晃動減小了,經過不平路面的晃動幅度變小,晃動次數也變少。覺得車身變得比較穩定,但卻又不是硬梆梆的那種感覺,我覺得變得舒適感有提升。並不是變得比較軟調的那種舒適,可能和原廠Dynamic底盤的舒適性還有點距離,但就是減少震動、減少搖晃的那種舒適。我覺得變成這樣,算是可以接受了。
我不是愛玩車、改車的人,幾乎都沿用原廠設定,這次想改結構桿純粹只是為了讓家人坐得更舒適,我覺得實際試車最準,勝過網上千言萬語,畢竟每個人的感覺都不同,一點點心得和大家分享。

小小防傾桿 出乎意料的有感
小弟前幾星期在社團PO文請教大家,改善轉彎時側傾問題的解決方法,綜合多位前輩的建議,最簡單的入門就是「防傾桿」
這週末走老婆帶小孩回娘家,終於有空約了KC大到三峽試他自行開發的產品,KC大本來很熱情的要把整套底盤強化套架讓小弟試用,但小弟其實只有很偶爾熱血一下,平常就是台娃娃車,只需要試防傾桿即可。
車子架起來後,我才知道原來V60本來就有防傾桿,只是細細的一根,讓人感受不到它的存在。
KC大快速的換完他的產品後,聊了一下他設計產品的想法,感受到他對車子的熱情,也配服他自己這麼年輕,就自己出來追求理想。
車子放下來後,KC大說:「你自己感受看看,說不定你在倒車出去時就有感覺了」,我心想:有沒有這麼神啊,會不會以後考試都考100分啊。想不到,真的一上路立刻感覺到不一樣,車身穩定度跟路感都有提升,也不會有車子過度彈跳的問題,最重要的是換車道或轉彎時的側傾,真的明顯改善了,真的有種「這是我本來的車嗎?」的感覺。
難怪有前輩在FB說「千萬不要去試,試了之後就不想拔下來了」,我現在也回不去了啦 !!
Volvo V60 車友 - Chou xxxx 也來說兩句:
今天下午裝上後防傾桿,一開出廠,就如原先前人所言,馬上感覺到不同,車子尾部變紮實,彈跳感變比較輕微,整部車子後半段更有緊實感,不過十幾分鐘後就麻痺了><.
上高速跑了五十公里,換車道時,方向盤一打,油門一灌,嘴角微微上揚,對味了:穩!底盤拉桿離我不遠矣^^
蔡xx 經驗分享:
自己14年D4有裝SPR上拉及副車架墊片,覺得當天裝完後防傾桿的感受更為強烈,車尾快速跟上的感覺變得明顯,雖稱不上後驅般的敏捷但比起原廠,這樣的感受真的很值得,回程上高速變換車道時感覺軟腳、晃動感不在了。
簡短的心得。當天趕著接老婆女兒下班,改天再試結構桿,再一起寫些分享囉
Volvo V60 車友 - 劉xx 心得分享:
小弟太座叫我上來怒推kc防傾桿...以前我開車全車暈,現在完全不會暈,新竹科園->高雄三民區,全程激烈操駕,太后還可以滑手機聽歌沒暈,實在值得投資!
Volvo V60 車主 - Tân XXX TXXX 心得分享
換裝後防傾桿 兩週心得 文長慎入
個人心得及主觀感受,若有錯誤歡迎糾正
@改裝前言及背景概述
高速公路換車道太快會有甩動感,車頭定位後車尾還會往外再往內
一家四口滿載上武嶺,山路只開了6公里就回頭下山,前後座含本人都覺得很暈,40過彎,進彎前減一點速,彎中不減速出彎補油,連續兩個S彎就頭暈了
老婆罵的要死,自己也覺得不可思議,以前開VAG原廠未改都沒事,怎麼換了V60就這樣,106縣道不信邪一樣開法,這次更糟,出第一個S彎就暈了,後來和亞信還有堃基老闆及原廠技師討論,說我開的是豬(真的,還是隻軟腳豬),發現自己開的是軟腳豬實在是很讓人難過XD,技師及老闆皆認為避震桶身阻尼跟不上,導致進出彎時車身尚未回穩又甩向對側,加上本人駕駛習慣太差造成,所以有幾個方案可以嘗試:
1. 花大錢換懸吊(以下狀況皆為Google 及改裝車友的心得)
KW V3激烈操駕2年內漏油,倍適登有異音也有機會漏油(聽說Volvo不會有異音),Gatto國產倒插避震(適配度問號?範本太少),Öhlins (可能買不起不如換車),原廠Polestar或HEICO避震沒研究⋯
2. 更換後下防傾桿試試看
原廠為21.5mm/ SPR 23mm/ 亞信24mm/ KC 25mm/UltraRaceing (沒做功課),原本打算取中間值裝亞信所開發的版本,但最近沒貨,而且已經被罵到臭頭想換車了,剛好KC有提供試用,所以直接約了時間就去本店試用了(後來和店老闆聊天完對他的產品有信心,就不囉唆買單了)
以下正文
安裝過程不贅述,大概幾分鐘就裝好了,根本忘了拍照,安裝完即從國3回公司,市區加高速(約120KM/H以下)心得
重點:彈跳變Q,車頭變得有點小船lol⋯前面變成跟不上,車身感覺變短,指向感變好
離開三峽就有感,壓到坑洞的路感傳遞變明顯,彈跳震幅變小變直接且乾脆,不是震了又有餘震那種,也不像原廠震了然後軟掉,有人覺得是硬,但是我覺得是Q,很Q的那種,過彎的轉向變穩
但因為只裝後防,前懸吊感受被放大,有不足感,中低速減速換車道時車尾已經就定位,但車頭慢了大概零點零幾秒才回穩,套一句老闆的結論就是後面是改裝避震器...但前面還是原廠避震..
找了一段路比較少車,故意扭了幾下方向盤讓車子偏移,車體穩定度變高,側傾消減到幾乎沒有,轉彎進高速公路閘道也能感受到側傾幅度變小,帶來的是可以用更快的速度過彎
高速換車道時本來需要留一點空間回打方向盤修正車身,但現在可以更快的進入目標車道不需刻意回正,好像在開後驅車
壓到伸縮縫車尾會扭一下的感覺消失了,取而代之的是很乾脆的倥咚聲
時速5~60過連續下坡時,現在敢點放煞車修正過彎的角度,感覺很像以前開的小鋼砲
老婆開車接送小孩短短一公里(有小山路)也明顯感到過彎變輕鬆,方向盤輕輕一轉就轉到要的方向
全家滿載出門時,老婆說『我怎麼覺得前面更晃了?』(前下GET!XD)
有沒有缺點?
有,就是遇到爛路會比沒加之前痛苦,震幅變小上下變快許多,會飆髒話,打算將胎壓從40/38修正為38/36測試看看
總結
就像換了短軸小鋼砲
下週要去把前下防傾桿換上,再分享心得
(一次換完就不知道差在哪了)
Volvo V40 車友 - Bo XXX Chen 心得分享:
今天要來跟大家分享一下MIT產品!
之前在網路上做了蠻多功課想要強化一下底盤好應付自己常使壞的腳,後來知道有出這樣一款的底盤拉桿,二話不說馬上去試試看,當時剛好V40後防傾桿剛設計完成,所以就成為了全台第一台測試此牌後防傾桿的車子,當初到了現場沒打算要連同前面黑色拉桿一同安裝,當下也隨口問問老闆現場有沒有底盤拉桿。因為老闆童叟無欺,賣出去的產品都希望客戶滿意再來買,對自己設計的東西很有信心,於是讓我安裝兩周試試看,不滿意再拆下來還他,滿意才賣
結果裝了上去,就下不來了,最後底盤裝上去的沒一樣拆下來
測試結果,起初剛安裝非常不習慣,感覺車變穩重了,在高速公路直線駕駛下,減少了上下跳動感(但追求一次坑洞處理當然還是要改避震)主要我平常高速行駛常有變換車道的情況,對於高速行駛情況下變換車道,感受蠻明顯的不再有多餘的晃動不穩,再來過彎情形,車底盤感覺更穩重更扎實,防傾抑制感受非常明顯,當然有些人可能會覺得是否會降低舒適度,個人平常除了自己獨自駕駛外,偶爾載載家人,家人一致認為車子更扎實,至於會不會死硬,因為本身V40就比其他車系更硬朗,家人對於安裝完的感受都是好評,倒不認為死硬,一樣上車馬上安心入眠..
這改裝如果還未打算改避震,想要有更好的操控感受,是非常值得推薦入手的,cp值很高!..雖然最後我的避震也還是改了..
如果有朋友有興趣又怕安裝完的感受不滿意,也可以連絡老闆試裝看看..老闆是一個非常好說話的人,真心不騙,至於廠商訊息,就別私訊小弟了!照片內拉桿上都有品牌名!
BMW F22 220i 車友 鄭XX 心得分享:
這是我第一次寫車評
如果你對車有興趣
請您詳細參閱,並小力鞭打
-------------------------------------------------------------
過年開工的當天迫不及待就跟 KCDesign & KC.TBS 鎧新研創 Kc Bug 約一早要裝全底盤結構桿
.
我是說,迫不及待
.
確實在220i Msport上面存在著懸吊過於彈跳及空洞的問題,
在市區會過度晃動,高速會有漂浮感,
調整過胎壓後還是沒有辦法解決這個問題,
本來心已死確定要換裝MPerformance或是KW,
但人在江湖 談何容易…
隨便都要5.6.7.8萬
套句行話...會被殺的
所以決定較經濟實惠的結構剛性下手
.
前上引擎室拉桿缺貨,
所以今天裝了前下、後下、還有後下v型結構桿
其實一開始我也有些疑慮、
短短幾根桿子到底能改變多少,
安裝的時間約莫30分鐘,
興匆匆發車
出車廠下坡第一個右彎,oh my God !
差太多了吧!!!
僅僅一個5公里的小彎我就確定這三根拉桿有顯著的差異。
.
市區駕駛時遇到坑洞,本來空洞的虛浮感突然變的扎實,
怎麼解釋呢,感覺像墊了層厚實的海綿一樣,
而且最頭痛的跳動情況竟然改善了,
以前60公里經過不平整路面會有屁股離開椅墊的跳動感,
安裝後感覺底盤回饋的力量被分散,
在於向上彈跳的力量與左右的晃動明顯減少,
行駛在市區路面上多了一份安全感,
汽車行路性的質感其實是非常難提升的,
你知道嗎
我曾經為了F22的跳動感好幾晚睡不著覺
還一度覺得自己買錯車了
我當下真的感動的痛哭流涕。
.
因為一路上實在太感動,著實不想下車,
便一路看著哪裡有山便開向哪,
開上復興鄉一路都是偏高速的山道,
裝了拉桿後並沒有改善側傾的問題,
說真的當然不會有改善畢竟拉桿不是防傾桿,
在起初前幾個彎道中就能很明顯感覺到碎震與晃動變少,這對於過彎有很大的影響,
簡單來說就是過彎的安定性跟信心好很多,
對於車身重心的轉移跟車子底盤的狀況感受也比較直接,先不論有沒有變快,
但我確定在於山道的舒適性跟人車一體性是好非常多,
我不喜歡談論車子快不快,
我一向認為有樂趣遠來的比快還重要的多,
很快來到了偏高速的長彎道,
漸進的提升車速後開始聽到輪胎的尖叫聲,
就以前的經驗來說因為晃動的不安是必定會收油減速,
但安裝拉桿後卻讓我有信心,
甚至能在微微收油的情況下將方向盤再朝向彎頂點處給油出彎,
在行進間輪胎慘叫的長彎道中還能修正路線基本上已經是大部分的車都很難做到的層級了,
當然最大的功勞還是220i活潑的後軸底盤設計,
不過拉桿增加底盤的扎實度
確實讓駕駛人更迅速的得到車體的回饋進而去把玩車輛,
.
尤其PUSH車輛時,我認為能更深刻體會到後輪一直想跑的比前輪快的動態感受,
最重要的是,你會覺得一切都是安全可控的。
.
一般人提到結構桿拉桿就想到撇車、山道、賽道,
我又不開快車何必裝拉桿,這真是天大的誤會啊…
這麼說也許沒有人相信
我覺得安裝底盤拉桿改善最多的卻是市區的舒適性,
但這是很重要的觀念
改裝不是求快而已,
更重要的是如何使整體的質感更甚於原廠
.
誠心建議可以安裝底盤的結構桿
底盤剛性的正面影響 不論是舒適性抑或操控性
我想都會遠遠超過大家的想像
其實不僅僅是BMW的F世代而已
.
我甚至認為每台車都應該列為標配才對
.
台灣有很多好東西
遺憾的是
我們都選擇漠視甚至鄙視
