Default Help on Anti Roll Bar...20mmm or 22mm?

i want to purchase a whiteline uprated rear anti roll bar for my MY00 Uk Classic. Could someone tell me what i should be fitting, should i be having a 20mm or 22mm one or does the adjustable 22mm one have advantages?

many thanks for your time.

defo not 20mm.

22 or 24

22 adjustable would give you something like 20, 22, 24
24 adjustable would give 22, 24, 26

that's roughly what each hole would equate too. Whiteline have actual figures on their website with the percentage each bar gives.

I have the 22mm rear adjustable one (middle setting), so is similar to a fixed 24mm bar. I'd need to check the figures to see if it's actually exactly the same increase in stiffness.

If you do a search from posts by 911 you'll see if he's running the 22 or 24 bar. He does have an uprate front though to balance the rear.

Here you go, http://bbs.scoobynet.co.uk/showthrea...highlight=22mm

22mm front and rear. rear is the adjustable type on Graham's car set to middle setting (like me).

You could say it's 22mm front, 24mm rear effectively although as I say I'd need to check the actual figures from Whiteline.

Ozzy - if you are running with the 22mm rear on the middle setting surely this is comparible to a 22mm fixed bar. It would compare to a 24 if you had it on the stiffest setting.

yes, you're correct. moment of brain fade

I'll dig out the Whiteline values. It's probably best to use the actual values of stiffness (oh, er) rather than simple diameters.

Remember that the changes of hole position will make a pronounced effect on the dynamics of the car, especially when 'pushing-on'.

Mt front bar is fixed/22mm
The rear is the 3 hole 22.

for fast running in the dry, the hardest rear setting is good unless the bends are very tight (ie some hill clinb courses) and I've found that a good allround setting is with the rear bar on middle hole.

With this are the tyre pressures to fine tune the balance, and again, small changes can do a lot.
My personal preference is 34 all round. (note the word personal)

Get the chassis right and the car will come alive!

Thanks for that Fella's
