How many bars available for Nissan Almera Turbo?
In Ultra Racing, the bars that are available for 2020 Nissan Almera Turbo (N18) are Front Strut Bar, Rear Anti Roll Bar, Front Lower Bar, Mid Lower Bar, Rear Lower Bar in 2 points & 4 points and Rear Torsion Bar.
The functionality of each of the bars after installed on your Almera Turbo are explained below.
STAGE 1 (Front Strut Bar & Rear Anti Roll Bar)
Stage 1 which includes Front Strut Bar and Rear Anti Roll Bar, is the primary set to enhance the performance of your car.
Front Strut Bar / Front Tower Bar
Nissan Almera Turbo doesn’t come with OEM front strut bar from the car manufacturer. Ultra Racing developed the front strut bar for Almera Turbo, located at the top of the absorber (left and right) and hidden under the wiper panel in order not to affect the normal procedure of service and maintenance.
The car chassis will affect the left and right strut tower and suppress changes in body distortion that occur during running. Furthermore, continuous stress will cause distortion little by little. As known by majority, tire friction, suspension forces, defects from rain water and old car with age will affect a car’s life span. Aftermarket suspension and modifications will also increase the burden of the car chassis.
One of the methods to deal with such a situation is to install a front strut bar/front tower bar, by connecting the left and right strut towers to increase rigidity. Apart from being easy to install, it is the most effective reinforcement part that demonstrates high performance.
Rear Anti Roll Bar / Rear Sway Bar
The OEM rear suspension setups of Nissan Almera Turbo (N18) come with torsion beam system without stabilizer bar. Ultra Racing has decided to develop a solid 16mm OD (outside diameter) rear anti roll bar, as it significantly improves the handling performance and maintains the comfortability of the car.
STAGE 2 (Lower Arm Bar)
Stage 2, comprising Front Lower Bar, Mid Lower Bar, Rear Lower Bar in 2 points & 4 points and Rear Torsion Bar are able to reduce the car chassis flex and strengthen the main chassis platform. It is highly recommended for heavy load vehicles such as SUV or MPV as it helps to enhance the stiffness and handling during higher speed and cornering.
