ARB/ Sway bars
« on: 03 November 2011, 22:37 »
anyone uprated their anti roll bars?


I'm going to fit a whiteline WALK kit and while I'm on was thinking about fitting a rear ARB.

the front ARB is a subframe out job but the rear is very simple so would start there. i don't want anything too stiff as i don't want a snappy back end but more point/less understeer would be nice.


anyone got any recommendations?

I fitted front and rear Eibacs on mine and a very noticable mod, so much flatter and no more body roll  :smiley:
Standard roll bars are made of jelly  :grin:

can you remember what size you went for?

are they adjustable?

what other mods did you have to he suspension?

i will be running stander suspension part from WALK



did you fit your own? the front look a pain in the ass to fit on axle stands on the driveway!

Im not much help really  :sad:

I left it to Ricci Concept who look after my car to source the best set up for my needs, all i know is that they are adjustable and thicker than the oem ones,
I already had the walk kit and KW3s fitted before the roll bars,

Gone are days of laying about on the drive and taking the skin off my knuckles  :grin:

No more body roll and much more planted now, especially on track

i really can't be arsed to drop the front subframe out on my driveway so I'm just going to try a 24mm rear for now with the stock front still fitted.

the rear is a half hour job to fit but the front is a p!ss take.
