Anti Roll Bars
« on: 20 May 2008, 08:50 »
Have any of you guys upgraded your anti roll bars?

Any suggestions for which ones to go for ? has the body roll been reduced ?

i got a Whiteline Rear adjustable bar from Balance Motorsport for about £130

it tightens up the rear nicely and does reduce the roll; need to buy some new suspension and i'll be a happy chappy  :smiley:

have'nt bothered with the front purely because you'll re-introduce understeer which is what you're trying to dial out with the rear bar

I have got it on now. Was a bit of a job as i had to drop the stuts and subframe and unbolt the dogbone mount.

Mine wasn't fouling the driveshaft but it was knocking on the bodywork lol.
