Whiteline or pms rear roll bar?

[m&l172ph1]

I was going to fabricate myself a rear anti roll bar.

They're probably as easy as each other to make, providing I can get the right steel for a solid one.

I prefer the look of a pms and it'll be lighter but has anyone had both to compare? I don't like the clamps either so will be doing something different!

Any help will be great!

@bloke

But if I was to get one again I would try the pms

Lol awaits @bloke metal railing comment

@bloke can you confirm

 

[bloke]

can i confirm that i'm mental or the whiteline is a bit of old railing??

 

[imprezaworks]

Both

I was actually thinking the other day after seeing a whiteline ARB how simple it would be to manufacture?

We used to have roll bars made at my old work and it was just 1" solid bar bent and powder coated.
Never had any problems!
You probably could use a bit of old railing! And a couple of oversized exhaust clamps!

It's a bit of old railing that works :tongueclosed:

I'd try the PMS one if i was to get another though.

Surely they don't really do anything with a solid rear beam?
Someone correct me please, I want new parts

They make a noticeable difference in my experience, its not as solid a beam as you'd hope! #frenchcheese

Not from Clio, but I think you can get idea how much solid these "solid" torsion beam really are..

Good video

Wish it showed it without to really show the full extent of movement. Crazy how an ARB, running along the similar shape and being much thinner can stiffen it up so much.

I did a test at Anglesey last year with the whiteline disconnected on one side and you can clearly see from this picture how much deflection there is between the bar and it's mounting link.

Are they not worth it for the road?

 

[JamesBryan]

Unless you drive like you do on the track on the road, then they are probably pointless for the road.

I have one just because i can lol doubt it will benifit me any at all tbh
