For decades, targeting popular personalities has been one of the easiest ways to scare someone. Anyone who has received threats on their lives or on their families will understand the value of security and armoured vehicles.
Although armoured cars have been in the market for several decades now, there are still many questions that people ask on the internet as it is still out of reach for a majority of the population. The positive impact of vehicle armouring on your safety cannot be overstated. Ballistic protection, forced entry resistance, and blast mitigation capabilities provide genuine security in high-risk situations. However, this security comes with measurable changes to vehicle dynamics that drivers must understand and adapt to.
In this article, we will discuss the impact of adding safety features to your car, how it changes the dynamics of your vehicle and what are the steps JCBL Armouring Solutions takes to maintain balance and stability of your vehicle. If the topic excites you, read on…
Changes Made During Armouring
JCBL Armouring Solutions not only protects you and your vehicles, it gives you the freedom to roam around in your favourite vehicle without thinking about the dangers of society. Owning a great SUV is one of the most cherished dreams for everyone. But what’s the point of having one if you can’t even feel secure in it? That’s where we come in.
Our expert technicians install ballistic-grade materials, reinforced steel panels, and specialized glass throughout the vehicle structure.
This weight redistribution fundamentally alters your vehicle's centre of gravity and mass distribution. The armour plating that we use is strategically placed around vulnerable areas like the doors, roof, undercarriage, and windows. This means weight is added across multiple points of the vehicle and it might even alter some vehicle dynamics after armouring. The reinforced chassis and suspension components necessary to support this additional load create different vehicle architecture than the original manufacturer design.
The engine, transmission, and braking systems must also be assessed and often upgraded to handle the increased mass while maintaining performance standards. Shock absorbers, springs, and stabilizer bars are recalibrated to compensate for the additional weight. This comprehensive approach is what separates professional armouring from hasty modifications.
Impact of Making Your Car Secure!
Enhancing the armoured vehicle stability and armoured vehicle control is what JCBL Armouring Aces at. Everything that we change in your car, matters!
Weight distribution in armoured vehicles is the primary concern for many of our clients as well. The added weight after armouring primarily affects acceleration, braking distance, and fuel consumption.
Suspension compression is another consideration that we keep in mind. The heavier load means suspension works harder, which can affect ride comfort on uneven roads. However, JCBL Armouring Solution’s professional installation ensures that suspension modifications maintain the vehicle's original comfort levels while supporting the additional weight safely.
Drivers who understand their armoured vehicle's characteristics can operate it safely and effectively, often finding that the enhanced stability at higher speeds actually improves confidence and control.
How We Maintain Balance and Stability?
At JCBL Armouring Solutions, maintaining your vehicle's balance and stability after armouring involves a multi-faceted engineering approach. First, a detailed weight analysis and redistribution planning is conducted before any work begins. We use precision computer modelling to ensure that armour placement doesn't create dangerous weight imbalances that could affect handling.
Our suspension specialists upgrade and recalibrate every component affected by the additional mass. This includes replacing springs with appropriate load-rated alternatives, upgrading shock absorbers for better damping control, and adjusting stabilizer bars for optimal roll resistance. The result is a vehicle that handles predictably and safely despite carrying significantly more weight.
Wheel and tire specifications are also carefully selected. We recommend and often upgrade to higher load-rating tires and reinforced wheels that can safely support the armoured vehicle's total mass while maintaining proper road contact and grip.
Brake system enhancements are equally important. We evaluate whether stock braking systems require upgrading. We do this sometimes through enhanced brake fluid, upgraded pads, or in some cases, complete brake system replacements. This ensures that stopping power remains responsive and reliable.
Finally, our post-installation testing protocol includes professional handling evaluation, brake performance verification, and comprehensive road testing. We don't simply declare a vehicle "armoured and ready” just like that!
We verify and re-verify every single detail of your vehicle. For us, your safety matters the most!
Final Thoughts
Want to secure your family from the threats of society? Armouring your vehicle could be the only solution for you. Vehicle armouring is an investment in security that deserves professional execution and expertise.
While it may hamper some vehicle dynamics after armouring, these changes are entirely manageable and, when properly implemented, don't compromise safety or performance. At JCBL Armouring Solutions, we combine cutting-edge protection technology with meticulous engineering to ensure your armoured vehicle delivers both security and reliability.
Your safety depends not just on the armour protecting you, but on the vehicle performing predictably and responsibly under all driving conditions. That's why we go beyond protection.
