Coilover and Chassis

You talking about AutoFoam?

Nvr tried it, but theoretically should work. Some people say that application won't be uniform though, and the part with the least foam will take the most stress.

no lah bro... i talking abt FOAM they inject into your car chassis... to stiffen your car... cause you were asking abt coilovers stressing the chassis...

 

I have not tried it so cannot comment.....

hmmmm.... lets say the whole chassis is fill with foam and its uniformed... i think the ride comfort will be extremly terrible...

Yeah, probably.

 

Changing engine mounts or getting engine damper that mounts to firewall already generates a lot of extra NVH (noise, vibration, harshness). If the whole chassis is stiff as well, I think the effect is similar.

 

Got an acquaintance who stiffen everything he can stiffen. The stress got nowhere to go, end up the front windscreen crack

omg whole windsceen crack? wtf... tats bad.......

 

and to think that the foam ppl said its suppose to reduce NVH.... because i think installing the bars should have more effect on stiffness... but foam much lighter i guess...anyways if the car is so stiff, then bushings should die pretty young... like you said weaker unfoamed parts of the chassis will be under so much stress... cause sure i'm the chassis is not hollow 100% to be illed completely right?

 

trackies = foam good

 

everyday driving = foam riduclous...

In my opinion, strut bars and coils should make the car firm and stable enough for daily street driving.
