Fitting an Eibach rear anti-roll bar?
« on: 30 September 2008, 13:06 »
Just bought a front & rear Eibach ARB kit, the front's not a problem to fit but I have NO info on fitting the rear bar..
I guess I'm gonna have to drop the rear axle to do this.. will I have to remove brake pipes, pressure regulator etc. or can these be tied up out of the way?
I've got a full GSF poly bush kit & wonder if the rear ARB requires any bushes as well, which hopefully are in the kit..?
Any info you good fellers can give will be appreciated.. ta.

no need to drop the rear beam, its clamped to it using metal clamps and bushes, the outer part is bolted on using a longer lower shock bolt :)

you might have to remove the shocks at the top though depending on how short they are

Let us know how much difference it made to the general handling?
Thinking of fitting these around xmas time (if santa grants me the funds) :grin:
