FIRST GENERATION (MYVI 1.0/1.3)
Referring to Ultra Racing's safety philosophy, "the bars are individually designed to suit different vehicles" as they manufacture the aftermarket products for this model. Mostly, old car model (well, not that so old) like first generation of Myvi do not have any original safety bars. Ultra Racing came up with 10 bars for Myvi 1.0 and 1.3 as the complete set. Some customers prefer to install "first stage" (front strut, rear anti-roll bar and rear lower bar).
HOW UR SAFETY BARS CAN HELP TO IMPROVE YOUR DRIVING EXPERIENCE?
A complete set of UR safety bars for Myvi consist of fender, front strut, rear strut, room,front anti-roll bar (only available for Myvi 1.0), rear anti-roll bar, front lower, rear lower, and side lower bar.
Front strut (UR-TW2-115) helps to stabilize the steering handling as it is place at the front chassis. It is also helps to strengthen the car's chassis and to minimize the weight transfer of the vehicle body. Rear strut 4-point (UR-RE4-173) has the same functions as the front strut but it is place at the rear section of car (boot).
Fender bar (UR-FD3-140) 3-point is install at the the right and left side of the car's fender. It gives extra support and strength to chassis during cornering as it helps to maintain the suspension in position. It helps to increase the lifespan of the suspension. Rear upper (UR-RU2-1319) install inside the car at the rear section near the boot. It holds the chassis from inside the chassis. Same goes to the room bar (UR-RO2-190/UR-RO2-190A).
As for the rear anti-roll bar, there are 2 sizes available that are 16mm (UR-AR16-406) and 19mm (UR-AR19-407). This bar really helps in stabilizing the vehicles during cornering. It is install at the rear lower suspension. It helps on making your car flat instead of making it turn on one side. It also helps in increasing the lifespan of the tires as well. So, it is like benefits that comes in pair.
Lower arm bars consist of front lower (UR-LA4-143), rear lower 2-point and 3-point (UR-RL2-354 & UR-RL3-3395) as well as side lower 6-point (UR-SD6-294). These lower arm bars help to reduce vehicles floating when it drives through bumpy road.
