Anti-roll Bar kit - Raw Striker
Raw Striker - Anti-roll bars
Can anyone tell me who supplies a Kit for fitting front and rear Anti-roll bars with a live rear axle.
Or any tips of how to make my own with dimensions etc.
Thanks

A guy called Rob Farley makes a front kit that is designed to fit. You can find him on the JPSC forum or http://www.clubstylus.be/ which he runs. If
you are using the standard metalastic bushes in the rear you will not need a rear ARB as Jeremy designed it to work without. If you have rose jointed
the rear then you will need to make something.

Is that the same for a IRS car or do they need rear arb aswell?
Thanks for the post and info as I'm interested in a set also,
Cheers sean

I don't know is the simple answer. I know people who only run Rob's front ARB in an IRS Phoenix but as to if this is correct I
don't know....did make him go faster when it was fitted though.

I have one of Robs bars on the front of my Phoenix, which is similar to Striker. I suspect this bar is a bit on the stiff side of ideal (bike
engine), but it made a huge positive effect on handling. Previously the inside rear wheel would life a bit giving tricky handling and with the bar it
doesn't. I have fairly weak springs (180lb/inch front, 150lb/inch rear).
Regarding rear ARB, you can fit a caterham rear arb (~£40), and DIY the pivots (hydraulic pipe clamps) and drop-links, but I am fairly sure that it is
the front one makes the big difference.

hmm, interesting read.
softer springs and ARB on the front is something I am also considering.
Track days ARE the best thing since sliced bread, until I get a supercharger that is!

He does occationally. More often than not recently he's had an empty engine bay...

Hi
I was asked by Matty78 re set-up the other day
Track Suspension thread
Basics are as the above - are front ARB a must IMHO, rear not required on live axle (dont think many of the IRS lads run them either) - don't go
too stiff on the springs and have the geometry professionally done!

Also running one of Rob's ARBs on the striker. I really like it, especially because most strikers run fairly soft springs.
He's very nice guy and the ARB is well made too.

Read earlier in the thread, someone mentions that a Caterham one fits with some ingenuity.

I've texted Rob and he will contact you. Let me know if you have not heard anything in a few days and I'll chase him up.
