Default cosworth anti roll bar

i have been fitting the front suspension into the mk4 escos today,iam using 93 4x4 running gear.i would like to move the front wheels back by about 25 cm nearer to the doors. i think the 2wd antiroll bar will do this,so are they 28mm dia,and can anybody confirm they are slightly shorter?

i see if i can find some
basicly gets rid of old roll bar and fits in its place
depending on coil overs you wont need roll bar
or you can buy a roll bar kit aswell

A bladed GpA Roll bar can then be used in front of the tca's , you will need to chassis mount it or use a x-member from the early GpA Sapphire 4x4 tho .

If the compression struts are fixed length will that not increase bump steer ? over suspension travel ie push the weel in an arc ?
