MAGIC COLLAR
Magic Collar
What is MAGIC COLLAR?
MAGIC COLLAR is a bushing/cover made of aluminum material. It is responsible for filling in the gaps (Clearance) between the nuts used to hold the lower raft (Sub frame) and the body, which these gaps. It arises from the design of the car manufacturer as an allowance. with the purpose of allowing fast and easy insertion of bolts. As a result, it can reduce assembly time, sure enough.
Every car from the factory will have a gap like this. will be more or less It depends on the model and brand. which these spaces that is the enemy of the word Driving Performance (Handling Performance)
How does MAGIC COLLAR work?
As already mentioned, the MAGIC COLLAR acts to reduce the gaps in the bolt holes that hold between the sub-frame and the body . will directly affect the control performance of the car both in straight lines and in curves
How to add MAGIC COLLAR and improve performance?
Alright, this time...let's talk about the benefits of aluminum bushings. After I had the opportunity to try it on my own car for a while. I could see the change quite clearly. I have divided the benefits of MAGIC COLLAR into 2 main parts, namely turning performance and driving comfort.
1. Cornering performance
Of course, reducing the clearance of the sub-frame mounting bolts will help the steering feel more responsive, more precise, and the steering feedback is more linear . However, this change can be seen. This is most evident in the turn-in (turn-in) , which is the moment when the car is transferring weight while cornering (Weight Transferring).
After the turn-in point (the weight transfer is complete), the role of MAGIC COLLAR will decrease because at this time The benchmarks for Cornering Performance are the tires and shock-ups. Therefore, we cannot clearly notice the difference.
2. Riding comfort
what to add In addition to turning performance, it is Riding Comfort , because the aluminum bushing acts as a barrier between the body and the sub-frame basically. Aluminum is a less dense material than steel. It therefore acts as a damper to help absorb shock caused by Shock Load (sudden shock) caused by articulated pavement. For example, the semis, including the joints of the road.
Because the impact of this kind It will happen suddenly as soon as the same shock that we are using. will not be able to respond immediately causing the car to bounce Also known as the Spring Effect (spring effect), the use of aluminum bushings will help absorb the Shock Load that results in increased Riding Comfort , especially the car with a set of shock absorbers - hard. other will be able to see the difference clearly
Well, coming here, I believe that many people would like to see the review. Let's take a look at the installation video. along with the test
Magic Collar are simple in their shape, clever in their design
The material from which they are made is from a special alloy and their performance is unbelievable.
The basic principle is one of chassis strengthening and rigidity without going overboard and compromising the cars inherent handling characteristics.
The Magic Collar kit is simple to fit and low cost, Magic Collars ease into position without affecting the basic geometry of the body.
The way the Magic Collar works is simple. Bolt holes through the chassis panel and sub frame are normally too big as they were designed for ease of production in the factory.
When the car leaves the factory, everything is new and tight and the chassis hardly moves. After a while, the bolts become slightly looser and movement between the panels begins. This is why an older vehicle fitted with new bushes, Shocks and springs, still doesn't behave like a new car.
The Magic Collar is an aluminum washer (as per photo) with a square outside Taper to increase adhesion on the Thinner flange portion in the middle. This fits between the moving panels and with a properly sized bolt (and Bolt Hole as part of the Magic Collar) is crushed into place when tightened, joining the two panels and stopping movement forever.
Magic Collars cure chassis movement, improve handling, reduce road noise, reduce vibration, improve braking and make the car safer in an accident.
Like we say, simple in design and unbelievable in Performance.
What is Subframe Collar Kit?
First of all, the Subframe Collar was born in the racing project to fill the "difference" that occurred in the factory to enhance the efficiency of production, and then massively produced for commercial vehicles.
Just like some sports cars sold in the mass market, there are so-called LSD like the sub-products of gearbox gaskets. The principle is to make the power transmission more direct and fast.
The most frequently asked question is regarding its function; in simple terms, the tolerances retained by the original factory will cause the power transmission into the slewing force when the vehicle is stressed so that the shock absorber cannot absorb all the impact forces at one time. It is easy to cause a double bounce and a slow road feeling feedback. When the tolerance is filled, the problem can be significantly reduced, avoiding the inconspicuous feeling on the road and the bounce of the shock absorber, making the car more solid.
Furthermore, below are some subframe collar questions that are frequently asked by riders:
1. Do you need to position after installation?
YES!
The original positioning arm is connected to the sub-frame. After correcting the position of the sub-frame, the positioning angle is also required to be corrected. Therefore, it is necessary to position and adjust other angles to prevent deformation.
2. Will the steering wheel be "hemp" after installation?
NO!
The Subframe Collar only allows the shock absorber and the chassis to absorb the force more directly and quickly, rather than letting the force not be absorbed. This is different from the concept of changing the rubber. After the new product is installed, there is likely to have a period of adjustment.
Perhaps as the change is pretty obvious, so it can make the drivers that are used to the original comfort to feel uncertain, yet the change assures for the better, so feel free to drive normally.
3. Will it hurt the car body or the sub-frame?
NO!
The tolerance of our products is calculated in terms of the accuracy of the "bar" (0.01mm). In terms of material, the aluminum alloy is also much softer than the steel of the car body. However, please be sure to hand it over to the professional chassis store for installation!
At present, the company has developed Subframe Collars for hundreds of models, so if you’re interested, welcome to contact us.
