Uprated front ARB

[Ph1 Tom]

Can't find anything but does anybody do a uprated front anti roll bar?

 

[Sam@NP]

nope

 

[Ph1 Tom]

Boo

 

[Sam@NP]

Stiffer springs?

 

[Ph1 Tom]

Could do but it's just right on the road. Adjustable bladed setup would be nice

Just searching to see if there's a universal one that could be mounted on the chassis rails and came across remote control car ones FFS lol.... Mental.

Its something I'm going to look into when I get going but it will just be a bar from another car bodged in with custom drop links, something easier to remove and fit for the rain.

I'd be looking at upping spring rate over ARB for a track car any day. Also, pretty sure altering damper bump (firmer) will give more noticeable effect on the road than bigger ARB at the front, presuming sharpenning up the transient handling is the goal, if that's your aim? Otherwise why????

 

[Ph1 Tom]

Just to increase the roll stiffness without increasing spring rate.

What spring rate you currently running Tom?

As Tom said, easy to change roll stiffness without touching springs. I have fixed rate Bilstein dampers and that's why I would like one.

I'm on cooksports. They're great on the road, ride height is a happy medium. I've got a whiteline arb on the back. It would be nice to have a similar upgrade on the front.

Fair enough on a fly-off operated system... (which must be £££) but on a fixed/blade-adjustable ARB uprated vs springs I'm inclined to think that its easier just to find the right spring. no??

Is there such a thing as right spring rate for wet and dry though?? Front and back adjustable ARB's give you the biggest bridge between a soft and hard setup without changing rates or geometry (very important to a club racer without geo equipment track side)

I'll be doing an adjustable bladed arb set up for me and James.

Save me a job then, over winter?

 

[NorthloopCup]

over winter?

Nah. Only gonna rush it if James is racing next year. Otherwise we will just develop it over next years trackday season.

Wait until you see my 38mm CDS bad boy lol.

EFA Morgan! Lol

 

[MG cup]

Lol

It's the rear that needs an arb anyway over the front end really. If you go to stiff it absolutely destroys turn in.

 

[MG cup]

Yeah but you would be removing the standard one so ideally it would range from slightly stiffer than oem to a lot softer.

I plan to detach my ARB in the wet due to the mental poundage on my suspension.

 

[NorthloopCup]

Original front is pretty good anyway tbh Morgan.

 

[MG cup]

Adjustability is what interests me without disconnecting the original, I'll see how it feels come time before I get involved. Disconnecting the ARB was a trick that some teams used to do in the Cup racers, not sure if it was legit.

Surely the bolt for the securing clamp must've snapped? But it only ever seems to do it when it's raining. Strange.

You just leave it connected on the inside and cable tie it out the way of the wishbones.

Edit: just clicked Its bed time

Flol! Come on, keep up Morgan!

 

[Cooksport]

We will have uprated front ARBs in the not too distant future

Look forward to that!
