    but with the roll bar (either front or rear) it is more of a bang bang. Where you hear the change in the door pocket jump . Like you've fitted stiffer springs!
    guess it's because without the roll bar all the impact from the road ie, pot hole is directed at that wheel. But when the bar is fitted!, it tries to divert/ share the effect across the bar to the other side wheel. Making it seem/feel more dramatic.

    Just made the car feel stiffer. There for exaggerates any imperfections in the road.

    I've finally got round to ordering the parts for this.
    Ordered some 20mm universal bushes and clamps.
    Measured my cav antiroll bar. And it's more like 18mm.

    Umm should of measured first ay?

    Default HOW TO: Fit a secondary rear ARB on a Nova beam

    eBay item number 261970886388

    You don't need bushes, just get some plates welded to the bottom of the beam, bolt through



    You can see the ARB fixed to the beam, doesn't need any other bushes
