Question Front anti roll bar....

My front arb bushes are shot and I need to replace them ASAP, but do I upgrade the arb at the same time

I have powerflex poly bushes all round...(apart from the front arb!! ) have an Eibach rear arb and am looking to fit Weitec adjustable coilovers pretty soon, is a 21mm or 23mm arb a good option with this combination? Or do I stick with the standard 19mm bar?

Any help, and prices etc. will be much appreciated

Cheers in advance

Re: Front anti roll bar....

Polybushes will stiffen it up nicely.

However I would warn of uprating the front arb....if you've uprated the rear arb uprating the front will more than likely negate this and you'll get understeer again.

Also if you intend to get adjustable coil overs this again will reduce the need to uprate the front arb.

I had the adjustable rear arb and KW V3.....virtually no understeer in dry.

My setup is the same as above, with KW3's and the 28mm adjustable Neuspeed rear arb, with Polyflex bushes on the standard front arb, and no problems at all, and when you push it too the limit on a corner, all you get is a four wheel slide, which is a lot easier to control, and even enjoy.
No under or over steer.
