anti roll bars
« on: 04 April 2013, 16:01 »
i finally got bbs's on but with 10mm spacers on to clear the brakes on the front.

i got rubbage when going slow and full lock which is fine i can live with that, but occasionally when cornering at speed it rubs too which im bit more concerned about. ive got the camber set as far as it can but it hasnt made much difference.

will some eibach arbs  on the front help with the rubage situation?

i dont want to go smaller tyre size as they are new tyres.

Not really.

Only thing you can do is roll/flare your arches.

Mine used to do it but I went from 195/45 to 195/40 and that have me loads of room!

What are the wheel specs and tyre size?

offest is 43 i believe, 6.5 with 205/50's


if you roll or flare the front arches do just have to ditch the inner plastic lining??

doesn't the liner sit on the lip of the arch??

think i need to invest in two new front arches soon anyway so might get them put on, rolled then paint them.
