Rear anti roll bar upgrade options Mar 26, 2016 0:07:50 GMT

When I dropped the rear end out of my car a few weeks back, I was quite surprised at how weedy the anti roll bar actually is (ignore the red arrow! that was used elsewhere in another thread)

Is upgrading this worth it? Some of the aftermarket anti roll bars are more expensive than frame rails - so I'm thinking that my money may be better spent there.

For info.. when this all goes back together, it'll have IL Motorsport bushes, Meister R CRD's and IL Motorport adjustable droplinks (just cos they looked awesome!)

The car is for fast road use only. Any thoughts/experience much appreciated.

So that should give you less steady state understeer as it is.

THey're very good. Stiffen the rear only will make the back end more loose if that's what you want.

I run mine on the shortest/stiffest setting all the time.
