I had a Voltage Stabilizer in the car. You can get them at Vim Auto located at Defu Lane, custom sticker you can go under the "freelance" section.
cheers

Cool! Checked back after some time and there are finally some activities going on ... Please do add me on FB look for me I'm "Leon Lim Yu Zhi" also I'm intending to install R.I.S.K anyone on that or a Voltage Stabalizer + Grounding Wire Combo? Or anyone knows a good custom sticker company? Cheers! Leon I also intended to install RISK but the installer says he need to look at the car to see if thy can customize a kit for Soul, still no time to bring my car to them to see... You let them see already? You can try DFM fit stickers too.

I will be collecting my white soul only mid oct ... so I'm doing some advance planing heh ... will update once I get the ride ... I'm looking at some upgrades even before collecting the ride ... maybe I'll skip risk ... but based on my personal experience ... my Swift 1.3A ... with VS and grounding really makes a big difference in terms of pick up and gear change ... don't know if it will help much with the FL soul with 6 Speed though heh ... looking to perk it up though =)
EXCITED TO GET THE RIDE!!!

Sounds great! I have only seen 2 New Souls on the roads. Hoping there will be much more Soulster Owner in this forum What specs does your Soul have? Does it come with 18" wheels? I heard they had a Yokohama S Drive tyres which comes with the car I did only a basic upgrade on my Soul haha.

I managed to secure a supplier to provide strut bars for Soul at $100 with installation. Anyone interested so that I have more bargaining chips with the supplier for a even better price? I'm in the mids of confirming the brand and getting pictures, please let me know if we have interested parties so that I can arrange for a group buy proper.

I'm opting for the 16's and changing them to 17's once i get my car ... I am interested with the strut bars =) but would love to also install it with the lower rear bar is there is any ... I do not wanna toy with the rigidity of the front and not improve the rear ... would not be good on the body of the car as well =)

You need to know your rear spec of the car suspension system. If tonsion beam, put another ARB before will have minimum effect.
So you know what rear suspension system does the Kia Soul have?

Does this really make a lot diff? My previous car came stock with front strut bar, I tried removing them for a test, makes hell lot of diff on handling, my friend's jazz also had a hell lot of diff in handling after installing front strut, with our locate traveling speed and conerning, do we actually need the car to be so rigid? Just curious....

My Swift had once both front and rear struts and it seemed more balanced ... after about 1 year plus of driving it my rear bar broke ... which I am unsure from what reason ... and hence i was driving with only the front strut from then ...
Because the swift was a very fun car to toss around and take corners at higher speeds ... you can really feel the difference ... with the rear being with a strut bar ... the confidence level and the vehicle stability seems better ... you can feel that the rear of the vehicle (without strut bar) seems to be trying to keep up with the stability of the front ...
but well that being said ... I didn't buy the Soul to toss it around, it is more for the fact that it's a edgy looking vehicle which is 1 of a kind and I love the added features from my "no options included" 1.3 swift
On 2 test drives on the soul, it seems to turn in pretty flat into corners ... just love how tall it sits and the comfort level!!!
Can't wait to pick up the keys!

Just that same reason why I bought Soul too. I was driving a Mazda 2 before, a very nice car to corner ard too. I felt that Soul rolls a little at some sharp corners at abt 70+km/hr that's why I looking for struts. Let me know if you wanna get it. Haha....

I'm asking for the interest here, so far I think no one has clearly indicated that they are interested, if really don't have then I will just go ahead to get it for myself.
