Best Anti Roll Bar kit?

<< < (5/10) > >>

the bruce:
The VWR suspension comes from KW, so the ARBs as well?

rex:
H&R bars can be bought separately. You don't have to buy kits.
I am using 26mm front and 24mm back. My setup is hard/hard.

LE: As I know each sway H&R sway bar has TUV (not only the kits). Am I wrong?

Where did you get these? Could you please tell me the figures for 26/22?

Carrera2RS:
If you are comparing solid, with solid then from my engineering memory then take (26/28)^4 x 172 should work (I Haven't got a scientific calculator at hand) the stiffness is the the 4th power. This is bar only and not real world as the bars will distort and twist though the arms, links etc dealing with that stiffness.

Simpler is to forget the actual value and look at increases stiffness

fuscobal:
I'm using BSH 27mm on the rear and H&R 26mm in front, both of them set on soft. Thicker rear bar will help you rotate the back on very tight corners but on tracks like Nring I think thicker front (like most manufacturers kits are) is safer at high speed corners !
