Ultra-Racing Stabilizer Bar

[size=8]I created this topic for those already installed the Ultra-Racing Stabilizer Bar to post their comment. Others members also are free to reply or ask any question from those member's already installed. I will collect more data about the UR-SB to post up later. TQ

The Ultra Racing bar is a bit difference because is using 4 point connection. The Ultra-Racing bar will install at the front chassis for strengthening purpose. To eliminate all the noise and more stability during accelerating, hard driving and braking So that it will help to disperse the load equally and better handling, stability when driving.


Well... Let me start off with the review about this UR-SB, because I was the first one in TOCM AVANZA that tested this Stabilizer bar and been using it for 1.5 months now.

There was a lot of consent about this new UR-SB regarding whether it will cause even greater damage when accident happen. This was brought up when the group purchase buyers when to their workshop.

The technical engineer replies to us with this info: -

The Ultra-Racing Stabilizer Bar design had gone through R&D to make sure when there is a hard impact. This 2 welding point at the center will snap and void a direct impact that will cause more damage to the engine bay. But the welding points are solid enough to gain more stability, strengthen and smooth during cornering.


So from here I will go to the main point about the improvement gain after this Ultra-racing stabilizer bar installed.

Pro.

1. Before I install this UR-SB I was using 2 point stabilizer bar. Which was the first impression stabilizer bar is very important for Avanza vehicles. But after changing to the 4 point Ultra-racing bar it had even improved on stabilities & handling when driving. Very obvious feeling improvement especially driving through uneven road surface or strong wind blowing from side way in highway.

2. Good workman ship at those welding area and not to mention this UR-SB come with warranty if the welding area give way. It will change for us with no charges.

3. Good service: - example we have problem with one of the member engine height that cause the air filter hitting the UR-SB. We know why this happen because we have gone through checking and found out that our engine mounting in all the Avanza is uneven. These members were the worst case that I came across so far. When they received the desperate call, they offer the member to send the car to Ultra-racing workshop which they have the machinery to repair the problem.

4. No need to take out the stabilizer bar to change or service the air filter.

Here's my review :-

This is my first 4 point stabilizer for my avanza and i would like to thank you Ultra-Racing for creating and providing Avanza better safety and stability control on the road. I been using Ultra-Racing 4 point strut bar for 1 week.

Before I install this 4 point stabilizer, I always scared on slamming corners or go fast on cornerings, so I just drive slowly when it comes to a cornering. The car would wobble to the left or to the right when I go on cornering. I felt the car was very unstable and I think to myself if I go faster I would crash on the divider. When ever I reach to uneven roads or pot holes, my car steering would go left and right if I let my hands off the steering. Then sifu ocmax introduce this 4 point stabilizer Ultra Racing on the forum. I was curious, I seen 2 point stabilizer and drove it before, but not 4 point. So I give it a shot, since I read many reviews about people giving good recommendation about Ultra-Racing.

After installation I felt the car was more stable and the car was like under my control. On the 2nd day after installation I try to go fast on corners, the wobbling is gone, infact I gain stability and the car doesn't swing left or right, the car is listening to my hands where I wanted to steer. Normally my car will lose it's balance and start swinging, but after installation with the bar I gain confidence going cornering. I did try back on the uneven roads and pot holes, the result was fantastic, the steering doesn't go left or right when I pass by the pot holes and the car body doesn't really moves that bad.

The 4 point Ultra-Racing Strut bar did change my confidence driving on the road. I felt much more safer and made my Avanza much more stable than before. Thank you Ultra-Racing

(Teenagers with hot boiling tempers or daredevils, please don't try slamming corners without any stabilizer bars. It's to test your car stability not fly with stability)

I was using a standard SB in my Avanza before, although the improvement is there but still lack of confidence when come to cornering.
Upon completion of the installation by UR staff, I when for a test drive. The result was EXCELLENT, I felt the immediate difference between these 2 type. I tested on the hiway then, the handling and stability are better than before.
Overall I'm satisfied with the result and will strongly recommend to those that interested for SB.
Hope that UR will produce a rear SB in future, it should help to improve overall stability better.
Thanks to

Performance review on Ultra Racing Stabilizer Bar:

Ok..My turn now.. 

After driving my car around 2 weeks with UR-SB..here are my comment about it.

When come to corner, uneven road surface, it feels more stable and comfort.
Increases the steering stable and will not feel the big impact on deep hole or road bump.

On Highway, before installing the bar, can fell the car keep going to side when there was big bus or big lorry cut over. After installation, it reduces 80%, as I was surprise of the improvement gain.

Driving at speed 150 kmh, still like the feel of driving at speed 110kmh.No longer feel the steering shaking.

User Satisfaction = 90%..

Thank to UR- Stabilizer Bar that give the instant stable improvement...

Highly Recomended !!!

Totally agreed with bro. Ommax, Kelvinkm, Eskay & Avanzasilver 's REVIEW, that all i want to says.

To me, as a lady driver, normally driving not more than 90km/h speed reading, can also noticed the different instantly after installed the UR-SB. Really more stable and handling is better than before, feel more safety, no more 'floating' or 'loosing' feel when driving in highway. 

HIGHLY RECOMMENDED to our Avanza's friend. 

bro. OCMAX, thanks for introduced this UR-SB to me, really worth to installed it.

Just to express my humble review:

Firstly, i would like to thank Ultra-Racing for giving me the chance to express my opinion and also for entertaining us from TOCM Avanza even on Sundays when they can have the day off.

The first test drive i did after mounting the Ultra-Racing Stabilizer Bar was at their vicinity, where there were many sharp turns and a few uneven road where i could test it. I was very impress with the difference right then, taking those 90degress turn but yet having so much control over the car even during hard cornering. Furthermore when the road was uneven, there were no signs that the car was swaying to the left or right which i normally experience before having the Ultra-Racing Stabilizer Bar.

The ride back home was equally enjoyable, the ride along Kesas Highway was so much smoother. It was such a enjoyable ride that even at high speed(dangerous speed), the car didn't feel like it was floating at all. It gave me more confidence on my safety when driving.

My parents drove the car back to Muar, only to come back later that night asking what i did to the car and complementing the smooth ride they had, which then i told them i had mounted the Ultra-Racing Stabilizer Bar. For that, i give my two thumbs up for Ultra-Racing Stabilizer Bar.

Overall, now im able to have a more pleasent ride and to keep the vehicle under control much better, something which i'm very please about. 

Im proud to place the sticker of www.ultraracing.com.my on my Avanza.

With the UR-SB bar already installed in my car since last Saturday, I think I shall give some personnel comments on how it perfoms.

I have been driving my Avanza for slightly more than a month before I installed the bar. Stability and handling of the car has been a real problem when I am taking corners, passing by big vehicles, driving on uneven road or driving through strong wind. There will be times when we have to overtake a slow moving vehicle, perhaps on a two-ways traffic, one lane per way. I sometimes don't have the confidence to do so because it will be quite a consideration to take up an acceleration and still maintaining stability of the car. There will be a lot of factors related to the stability of the car that can make it unpleasant to do so.

For most cases, I don't have to drive at a high speed to experience the problems described above. These problems bother me even when I am driving the way we usually do with safety in mind. I find that I have to spend more effort in making sure that I can negate the abnormalilities thrown to me under such circumstances. This causes discomfort in my driving experience with Avanza.

After the installation of the Ultra-Racing Stabiliser Bar last weekend, I immediately felt the effectiveness of it in overcoming the above-mentioned problems. Even before I took up a corner, I felt that I had better grip on the wheel. I found that the stabiliser bar helped to ensure optimum road-holding at all times. Never had I ever experienced such comfort before. Taking up corner proved that the bar did maintain cornering stability. I was also able to gain better judgement and increased confidence in overtaking other vehicles. In general the body roll of Avanza had been reduced significantly. My wife shared the same view and we were happy to spend money on the bar for the benefits it returned.

Design
I like the look of it. It is also not preventing normal maintenance of the car from being carried out without hassle. The bar is well made. Installation is easy. It is maintenance-free. However since the bar come in white colour, placing it under the bonnet increases the chance of it becoming easily dirty. This shouldn't be a problem as general cleaning is all it takes.

Performance
Overall, Avanza's tracking and handling is being improved significantly. Lateral body roll and body lean are also being reduced. The road-holding has also been improved and it also makes cornering safer and more comfortable. It helps to increase our confidence in overtaking other vehicles. It lessens the worries of having to pass by big vehicle.

Price
I am not able to say whether it is pricey or not since I am not able to compare it with other similar bar. However for the improvements and benefits that it gives, this bar worth every cents spent.

Conclusion
Stabiliser bar in general should be an item of your must have list. As for the Ultra-Racing Stabiliser Bar, please don't be mistaken by the word 'Racing' in it as if it is meant for drivers who like to take up the road at high speed. It immediately pays off the moment you are on the road. You will sure like it.

Hi, I am new here. I just installed my Utra racing bar 4 point in my Avanza and must say that I was impress with the difference in handing performance especially turning on uneven road. Initially I was looking at 2 point but was told that UR do not make them. Does UR have any kind of anti roll bar 4 the back?

My front & back suspension are still virgin, with original steel rims & tyres, but with UR-SB now, I dare to take sharp coner at faster speed! wil not lean to one side while cornering, also more stable when come across buses or trucks.

Well, installed my URSB today,it's as good as what everyone is talking about,the front part of the car feels very stable especially 120km/h and above like breaking the sound barrier, so smooth and stable partly because I am running on a pair of rear GAB abs, no bouncy,bouncy anymore.
One minor problem is the gap between the bar and air filterbox for MINE is too small, but it didn't touch when i drove back to Klang. Other members car all ok,big gap , why maybe mine running on 1.5 liter latest engine kah? Hah! Hah! Any way small problem only, will call back Rachel when i am free. I tried playing with the engine mounting, only manage to move the engine forward by 2mm coz that is all the clearance available before it touch the stopper.

Just came back from UR shop to rectify my small gap between the bar and filter box,added some shims and i now have 6mm instead of 3mm earlier,so it wouldn't touch anymore. My case have got nothing to do with the bar,its a standard bar manufactured to spec and check in a jig.The problem in fault during the assembly process of the car, 4 avanza i check during yesterdays TT seems to have different gaps!

For my case ,they  already added 3 washer on each side, only thing bad is they use mild steel washer which will rust very soon , should have use stainless steel one.

With washer alone will make the URSB "floating" and reduce grip/friction. There are movement due to the gap between bolt and holes. I suggest u get a pair of base plate from Ultra Racing to replace the washer. 

Bro Tehspin , I get what you mean, it 's suppose to be on a flat plate not three washers.It's quite troublesome for me to go over to UR, anyway will call up Racheal first, worst case i will cut the pieces myself and paint it up. 

Bro...please contact Ms. Rachel... I have talk to her today...She confirm Ultra-Racing will make a spacer for you... make appointment with her..... 

Thanks Bro Ocmax, Miss Racheal will be cutting two nice piece of 3mm thickness plate and painted for me, to be ready before Christmas. Thats what we call , good after sales service, not just sell and forget.

Hi bro. OngKH,

I think U give the URSB so high marks may be due to PB car also have the TITAN fixed

For me

let say if the car is without any stabilizer bar = 0 %, with 2 points Stabilizer bar = 30 % and with URSB = 70 %

Before I install this bar. I ask my friend for some opinion. He told me that really stable when u having cornering. In my mind thinking izzit only one bar can make so much difference meh. Curious???

One day...happening
After install the UR-SB when driving on the way back home. Immediately feel the difference improved on stabilities & handling.
Feel more confident when take cornering. Stable until wan to try faster cornering. I think some aldy install those bar have same feeling like me izzit? 

Is not that we install this bar coz we jus wan to drive fast when cornering...
Jus for the safety precaution when came to emergency can’t predict what will happen next. Maybe we have to take a sharp cornering. Safety comes first…

Now I admit that one bar (UR-SB) can make the difference. Highly recommended…

For me really no regret for this investment, value for money...

Especially thanks OCMAX, recommend to me

Haiyoh...... syiok man.
Now at least over-taking at 120 - 130km/hr also confident.
But of course, if i could find some budget for the 16" rim and Michelin tyres,
Titan abs.......

Just installed an Ultra Racing Stabilizer Bar to my Avanza. No regrets! It's worth every single sen. Handling now becomes much more stable when turning corners at higher speeds and swaying is much reduced. Haven't had a chance to try it on the highway yet when overtaking buses.   

I'm very satisfied with it. Thanks to all the sifus for introducing this.

Well....URSB really take our suggestion Seriously and keep their word on the delivery.

I can say UR really are a good responsibilities seller. I still remember we have problem before talking to the previous stabilizer bar seller which we requested these base spacer due to some of our member’s faced the problem about hitting the air filter enclosure.

Mine is also affect last time and mine was replaced with a second hand SB and were dented due to a second bending...  That’s why I look for a better bar Stabilizer bar. Luckily I found URSB and am happy with it and really worth every single sen I paid.

Here's are some photo updates about the base spacer.
