Front and Rear Anti-Roll Bar Dimensions

[DanJ 374]

Does anyone happen to have stock Front and Rear anti-roll bars that are off their car?

If you do I'd be very grateful of some measurements, I'm setting up a suspension calculation spreadsheet to work out roll stiffness distribution between the front and rear axles on the stock car and then use this to compare to changes in spring rates and ARB rates for possible mods.

I'll happily share this spreadsheet for anyone else to use once its all done.

Thanks,

Dan.

IIRC it's front 16mm / rear 14mm

Yep that's right, but I need some other dims as well to work out the effective stiffness at the wheel.

I have them off my car. Could get you some measurements tomorrow if you let me know what you want?

ah ok, might be worth stating what other measurements you need so people can go out and check then reply when they've got them

Thanks, other than the bar diameters I need all the other dims shown in this file please:

I had a look for the measurements. Sadly I only had a tape measure to use to get these measurements and the shape of the arb's mean it was quite difficult to get them perfectly.

For the rear arb I measured a length of 91cm, thickness of 2cm and the arms splay out diagonally and I measured those as 19cm.

For the front arb I measured a length of 101cm, thickness of 1.6cm and the arms splay in diagonally and I measured these as 14cm.

Hope that helps but if there is anything else just let me know.

Thanks Jeff, much appreciated.

I think you've got the front and rear mixed up, the rest makes sense from pictures if switched.

Yeah sorry! Wrote the measurements under the wrong headings.

No problem, easy mistake to make.
