do both get used simultainiously or is it one or the other ,, i am technicaly chalenged so dont laugh

 

use both together !

 

found a picture ,so i get it now ,thanx lol.


i said i was a numpty.

so what benifit from arb to comp strut??

 

you can use both together or just the compression struts, in your case clive just use a 4x4 anti roll bar for starters.. then get technical!

steve

 

you use them together if your gonna do it properly give me a min and ill show you a proper group a set up

 

Ste ,cant see a 4by arb going in??? lot thicker mate??

J1mbo,that would be good to see ,cheers

 

That a bladed antirollbar/comp struts setup?

 

yes mate off the front of the escos

 

here you go lads this is one of the best pics


heres a link to my photobucket look through and you'll find more pic which could help

Is the bladed arb essential for a road car?

 

no neither's the compression struts tbh
rainbirds car is fast road/track car and he just uses the thicker anti roll bar !

 

cheers for the link j1mbo

 

no probs mate hopefully there were a few pics that could have helped !

 

i was running the std 1.6gl shit up front, so binned it off for adj tcas and comp struts





cant tell you how it drives yet tho

 

use the 4x4 or escort cos anti roll bar and body mounts, like I have done on the track car.

steve

 

do the comp struts mount to the original holes for the anti roll bar? if you were to remove the anti roll bar and just use the comp struts what advantages/disadvanteges would their be?

 

Personally i wouldnt sacrifice my ARB for compression struts, either spend a bit more and go for the type of kit that allows you to utilise both or stick with the ARB!!
Compression struts also give you a level of adjustment to alter the position of the whel in the arch - back and forth (which i believe is castor!?)



thicker ARB in comparism to what alternative?

 

jimbo, the esc cos front arb is the thickest fitted to cosworths.
not sure what size the granny cosworth was tho.
so don't know what thicker one he could fit..

steve

 

ps ive got AVO monotube coilovers that seem to have the stiffest springs in the world, so im quite sure ill be ok with no arb. its not a car that i will be going on holiday in, so ride comfort isnt on the top of the list lol

 

Thats kinda what i was digging at - info wise Steve

 

I guessed kelv, but never read your post fully till I had posted mine.
hence my info

so just get adjustable tca's and keep my arb? i want what will be best for track not bothered about road use really

 

soory lads i should of worded that better i was talking to the matey with the 3door so it was kind of directed at him to use the escos one like rainbum

 

right, just like I have told clive (righthooker) to do basicly

steve

 

yeah i was just putting the point across backed up with proof on a quick car

 

Would it be possible to use compression struts and still run the standard antirollbar ? I was thinking an extra bracket welded onto the comp strut mount then a clamp set up similar to what RS1600i use.

 

hmmmm,,,,complicated one, is it worth it without the arb???

anyone run comp struts with no arb then??

 

did that for nearly 8 years with my last rally car
