I have a 1.2 nova so it doesnt have an anti roll bar as standard, i have lowered it 60mm on Avo shock and springs and fitted a OMP Strut brace. Since fitting the strut bar my tyre wear has increased on the inside, alot. i was thinking the the strut brace wud b pulling the tops together, but with no anti roll bar the camber is beening affected, so is it worth fitting an anti roll bar or is there another way of sorting this, i have heard that you achally get more body roll with one fitted than without...ne ideas?

cheers

handling is better without the arb apparently.

A strut brace will not alter the camber, it wil just help to keep the shell/suspension rigid.

Get your tracking checked. Mine was miles out after i changed suspension.

after that you will still have a bit of wear due to camber.

lowering the car 60mm puts the camber out by a fair way, so you need to either drill the top mounts or get the camber adjustment bolts from tweeks etc...

nothing to do with the ARB, but only fit a rear one

Lowereing a car also gives you awesome toe out.

I assume youve had the tracking done?

get your tracking done, lowering your car alters it bigtime, costs about 9quid at ATS
