thicker front anti roll bar for phase 1 172

[105e]

As title, is it possible to get one, with some other cars ive owned its been possible to buy aftermarket ones or fit ones from other models.

Don't think so mate

Re: thicker front anti roll bar for phase 1 172

Only the 182 cup one, michaelwoodford did it recently and not sure what else you'd need to change to use it (if anything)

 

[Fraser.J.]

The cup is I believe, I fitted that along with the cup subframe which is wider, don't know if the cup ARB would fit on a ph1 though

cheers for that, do we know actual dia though, i can then measure my own to compare.

Are there not 2 different poly bush kits but only 1mm difference between them?

 

[105e]

That does seem to ring a bell,

 

[Djw John]

I cant imagine you'd ever feel much of a difference between the 2. The thicker and stronger the front one the more understeer anyway.

 

[105e]

Yeah but as ive fitted the rear whiteline ive changed the balance so i think a thicker front one would restore it, i just seem to have more body roll than i like, its only a road car so dont want to go too stiff on springs.

 

[Djw John]

Have you set it as soft as possible. Body roll isn't a bad thing IMO but I know how subjective handling can be!

 

[105e]

Yeah the whiteline is set on the softest setting.
