An alternative anti roll bar setup
A year or so ago I got a set of custom valved Leda coilovers. The springs that came with the coilovers were somewhat stiffer than what is achievable with t-bars, so I knew I had to get new anti roll bars as well. Although there are many good ARB-sets available, all of them use the through the front tub/wheel well design, which I don't feel comfortable with. Therefore I designed a setup myself. The parts were available as a kit from Sellholm Tuning in Sweden. So all I had to do was weld up the tubes, make some brackets and fit it into the car. Well, it wasn't exactly that easy, and it took a while to complete, but here's the result.

But hopefully that will be ironed out after a little running in period. /Peter |
why cant you use existing roll bars, like adjustable ones from elephant racing if your using stiffer coil overs? I plan to buy a coil over kit and new suspension down the road.

Why do you need stiffer bars at all if you have stiffer springs? The stiffer springs will reduce roll by themselves.

Yep, that design is similar to typical modern car swaybar endlinks. Attach at the strut & end of sway. I bet over time you'll really hear the Heim'd links vs. something that's a sealed unit.
Looks nice for the work though. |
That is certainly a very sophisticated setup.
I like how the front bar actually will produce a variable rate depending on steering angle. Less effect at lower speeds. Not often seen, very slick. And the use of blade arms means the stiffness adjustments won't affect the geometry. Very nice. where did you source your components? |

I don't see the cable connection to rotate the bladed arm.

Blade arms also mean infinite adjust ability instead of the 5-6 holes usually found... Nice work. I'm sure it is prohibitively expensive to ship to the US, but I'll check out the web site :)

hehehe always a fun problem when the web site is in a different language with lots of funny marks all over the letters ;)
