Octavia 4x4 Uprated rear anti roll

Stuart_J · 28-07-2005, 12:53

Has anyone managed to find a way of uprating the rear anti roll bars on the Octy 4x4 yet.

Im still suffering some understeer & Im now thinking of reverting to the std ARB on the front

I was thinking about this again last night actually. Just how close is it at the rear? Do you think enough room could be made using a hammer on the wheel well?

Jabba tried to my uprated one to their 4x4 with a view to getting the guy next door to tweak the Rod if that was the answer. Turned out tweking the Rod wasnt the Answer. I hope to see them this weekend at Donnington so I will ask the question re "the big hammer" as a solution

I havent actually been present when either garage tried to fit the rod so havent seen how close it is

I know the 'kink' in the standard one isn't very big so I would hope the alterations required aren't too drastic. I don't run with the spare so could cope with a reshaped wheel well. I'll have a word with JBS when I'm next there.
