Anti-roll bars...

Post by KS »

Or sway bars to our US friends. ;)

My car has factory anti-roll bars back and front. Has anyone any experience with different bar sizes? If so, what was the effect and what size did you run? Yes, the hillclimbing bug has bitten...

We run the 911 much stiffer at the rear than front, for a quick turn in, but our 914/6 hasn't got a rear ARB, and I haven't (yet!!) been caught out by understeer.
Probably not pushing it hard enough.........

I used to run a 911E front ARB and a standard 914 rear Keith.

Many used to disconnect the rear in the wet, but I never felt I needed to

Be worth asking Angus what he is running on his rally car?
