Looks good, how good is it? Do they do a rear one yet?

Have not tried it yet. Martin says rear does not need one. £100+ vat I think they are selling them for, give them a call to confirm.

Apologies zetec but which folder are the pictures in? Have had a quick look but failed to find them. Just looking at fitting one myself now. As far as I'm concerned I really do think the car needs one for track use with R888s especially one the tyres are up to above 50 degrees c.

When you get a car which is lighter at one end than the other often fitting softer springs + and an anti-roll bar is a good way to go.

Fitting rear anti-roll bars on RWD I am not keen on as it robs traction on poor surfaces.


One of the problems with a lot of Locost style cars MK and Haynes included is the static roll centres are too low. Slightly higher roll centres would give more roll resistance without making the suspension stiffer.
