i went out in a westy with a front ARB on tuesday and it was awesome, the handling was much better!
I love Pinto's, even if i did get mine from P&O!

ARB
I had front and rear ones made by a company up the road from me. They are both fully adjustable and transformed the track handling.

Yup, lots more roll into sharp left and right handers WITHOUT the bar! 
definately going to be fitting one to mine!

Ah they work then! I would be suprised if they did anything else!
Track days ARE the best thing since sliced bread, until I get a supercharger that is!

So thier worth fitting then yeah...
Just trying to sort out the car for racing see, i know most the other guys use them in 7 type cars but with this being lighter as its bike engined
was'nt sure it would make as much difference see..

they are a little on the heavy side but well worth fitting, i understand that the fitting kits aint cheap but are available from westfield/ caterham
etc

Speak to Matt @ Procomp re antiroll bars.
I'm sure he'd be able to make one that was suitable to your car and weight rather than buying one for a diff car/weight etc...

dido, not as simple as just fitting it; might work then might not. You could make an adjustable one to change the stiffness of the ARB.. Why not try
it without first?? Damper settings are also important etc etc..

Hi
Antirollbar / bars are essential for track work if taking it seriously. However you have to get the dampers and springs sorted before working with a
bar to gain best results.
