been offered a 22mm anti roll bar off an escos, was thinking of fitting it to my 2wd saph, does it fit straight on, and worth while doing?
cheers shaun

 

You will need the appropriate diameter clamp bushes obviously and depending on what diff mount you have you might need flush mount bolts. Try it and see what you think - handling is a personal thing - some people say it makes the car too twitchy at the rear, others like the lack of roll and 'pointy' front end. Which camp you fall into......who knows?

 

Try and listen to people who actually have it, that would be my advice.
I have a 22mm adjustable ENT16 sprung steel rear arb, basically similar stiffness to the escos one, but mine goes stiffer and softer either side of the escos one.
I wouldn't even hesitate to do it again, twitchyness ?, I have found ZERO ZERO ZERO twitchyness, it makes the car vastly better balanced, I am on fairly stiff coilys, 300lb front 200lb rear, on mid settings, I love it, made the car more comfy as well as limiting roll, I run the mid setting at the mo.
These are my opinons up to you who you listen to, personally I would listen to someone who speaks from experience of the thing rather than stories they heard, but you make your own mind up.
Incidentally the std clamps(from my 2wd 16mm std arb) fitted my car, were a right shit to get on, ie tag shoved in the hole and started, but went on and clamped no probs.
The issue of the bolts is quite correct, but there are several options, mine was custom made on my car, as had to clear the metal work of the tow bar as well, fits better than the std(escos) one, ie bags of clearance around poly diff mount but sure is cramped around the rear, could always use a std mount filled with ply so is nice and stiff but std fitting.

Yes it's quite tight ( even with the flush mount bolts ) with the MC diff mounts and a larger rear bar

 

Bags of space with the flo flex poly mount.
