hello
I am messing around with suspension on my mk2.5.
i want to see what fitting a downgraded arb to the rear and upgraded arb to the front will do to the handling
ideally i would remove the rear arb but the regs of the competition I take part in does not allow that.
If any one has a mk1 1.8 stock rear anti roll bar for sale let me know

Unfortunately not, I would have liked to come along and marshal again, it was a fun day when I did a couple of years back.
I'm usually in and around Bristol a few times a week so drop me a PM and we'll get something sorted.

The regs say anti roll bars may be upgraded. If you think no anti roll bar is an upgrade, surely it is allowed?

How about leaving the ARB in place and just removing one drop link so that the bar will just move with one wheel !!!! It will fullfill the regs if its fitted and attached.  |

If you think no anti roll bar is an upgrade, surely it is allowed? chatting to my fellow competitors and the coordinator at the solo last weekend the feeling was no taking off bits unless you are adding something to replace it so removing and ARB is fine as long as you fit another :-) it may make the feel car worse so just an experiment The logic comes from the US Autocross scene which may not apply here here is a discussion about it forum.miata.net/vb/showthread.php?t=362012 |
