Default sapphire 2wd rear arb

i have a 2.0 dohc sierra at the minute and noticed it has no rear anti-rollbar and cosworths do , i done a bit of research on here am i right in saying an escort cosworth rear arb is a straight fit into the back of a sapphire all i will need to do is get 22mm arb bushes and drop links and weld some brackets onto my swing arms to attach the roll bar drop links to ? thanks

Yes, I took my std sapp 16mm roll bar out and put a escort 22mm in with the mounting brackets....but tbh it didn't make a huge difference between 16mm and 22mm

the roll bars are direct swaps, you just need to change the bushes that hold the bars in place

they came i 14, 16, 18mm on the sierra and 22mm on the escos

when i bolted the escos one to mine it became immediately much more tail happy on the limit but gave much better grip until that moment it snapped out and was fairly uncontrollable when it did tail out

there was a fairly comprehensive thread here a few years ago about tail happiness induced rear arb settings
