Rear anti-roll bar?

[Damo]

As above rear anti-roll bar are they worth it or not.

[AlexW]

Yes.

[Damo]

What benefits do you get from running one though.

[Stuart]

less understeer = win

[AlexW]

Deffo ^, anything to tighen up the rear end from my experiance helps loads.

[Damo]

Didnt think it would make a car handle any better on the back but obviously put there for a reason lol cheers for info stuart.

[bmw156]

can just plant it in corners

and i have one for sale lol

*thread hijack*

so if i put a front and rear anti roll bar in, it will be a noticeable difference in the handling then?

[Damo]

good to know that guys. cheers for the offer bmw but sorced one allready of a fellow member cheers.:thumb:

[bmw156]

nova boi, people have different opinions on the front ones, i think they are no good personally

[NovaBoi92]

so rear one would make the difference then?

in your opinion?

[AlexW]

A front one on a lowerd car could cause it to lift the inside wheel, Thus losing traction and causing understeer.

On standard suspension its goodish, does take up some roll but not much lol

[bmw156]

so rear one would make the difference then?

in your opinion?

yes, alot of difference

[Jack]

I need to fit my rear one. What size bolts does it need?

[Stuart]

rear yes, every nova should have one. Front..... nope never, only Dans appears to need it lol

(all personal of course)

[let_nova]

[stevie-p]

I'm very interested in trying a H&R rear with a standard front ARB, with slightly softer springs than a 'normal' setup, be interesting to see if it develops more grip with less roll... or just handles like a pig lol Gotta sort my 'normal' setup first though, right after I get the thing running properly :p

I need to fit my rear one. What size bolts does it need?

13mm x 25mm long x2
13mm hex nut x2
Washers x4

[Jack]

Cheers mike.

I was under the impression no saloon had front, but all (except 1.0) had rear.

[AlexW]

Thats true, altho the arbs do come in different thickness so im presuming the saloons have a thinner one.
