Default Adj. TCA/Comp Strut and anti-roll bar Question

So, what's generally done regarding anti-roll bars when upgrading to adjustable TCA and compression struts like Comp Brake sells? Just elimination in the front or is there something I'm missing here?

That's indeed getting rid of the arb. Tough i would be interested in a compressed strut kit, which would relocate the arb.

Yeah Comp brake stuff does away with the ARB totally, but I have seen other manufacturers still running a front ARB in conjuction with Comp struts via drop links on the TCA and the ARB bracket welded to the bottom of the Compstrut bracket, I will post some pics, I dont know which way to go and who will do what parts for the best results either?

What do you want your car to do?

Std ARB with Adj TCAs

Some different Comp strut AND ARB combination, the bracket is actually on the Strut not the TCA

And also Martins Escos has comp struts and Adj TCAs and a front ARB to follow, I would be interested to know how and where this will fit and the benifits too (pic in FAST FORD) I believe his parts are ZooMotorsport gear

This is for a rally car project.

Thanks for the pics. What other manufacturers are making these? (Other than Compbrake?)

Rallydesign stock compressionstruts and an ARB to be mounted in front of the TCA`s, I`d definently go with this kit, you may also choose in 3 different strenghts for the ARB.
