Stock Anti-roll Bar Query
BMX:
eibach arbs are for cars with or without xenons, h&r do a different bar for each for some reason? i have xenons and eibach arbs, also you cant gauge the stock bars in size against the h&r and eibach as the stock bars are hollow, and the eibach and h&r are solid. on the eibach and h&r there are 2 positions, the inner being stiffer. to start with i fitted the rear only on the soft setting and on its own it really improved the roll, but it imediately made the front feel soft, when i fitted the front it sorted things out, i now have the front on the outer soft and the rear on inner firm and it feels great, at the weekend i will be having a bit more of a mess around with the possitions.

No probs with my WALKs so far. I've also got aftermarket poly bushes on the other sides of the wishbones (not essential but just to help balance stresses).

I haven't found the need to uprate the bush on the other side of the WALK as I haven't seen any excessive wear on it. But if I was going to replace it I would just get the powerflex bush then.
For info the bush we are referring to is - Front Wishbone Inner Bush (Front) Part Number PFF85-501
