V8S anti roll bar

[Top Gear TVR]

Hi - I'm searching for a 25mm v8s antiroll bar...Anyone got one they would like to part with?

[GreenV8S]

You might struggle with that because 22mm was standard on the V8S - the thicker bar was used on V6 models but I don't know whether the other dimensions were identical.

Every answer is different? Confucious say: leave it as it is?

[GreenV8S]

Really depends what you're doing with the rest of the suspension. I think the 22mm bar is in the right ballpark with the stock suspension rates. I'm running much stiffer suspension and would like to increase the roll stiffness at both ends on mine so I can lower the bump rates a little, but even now I'm not seeing that as a big issue.

Double up?

Pete - do you have a rear ARB? If so, how did you fit it?

[GreenV8S]

I don't have a rear ARB yet. It's something I'd like to sort out one day.

That looks very tidy. Is it a standard bar, or something you had made up?

Chimaera with a bit of "tweaking"

Sort of off topic mike but any noticeable benefits ?

[phillpot]

Yeah, i might not have the power of a V8 but I can piss all over them in the handling dept.




More seriously, it's hard to tell Steve. Guess one day I should go for a blat then drop the links off and repeat, see how it feels/compares?

I have received good comments from others that have followed me on Eurotours that the car looks to sit "flatter" in the bends

Might be worth asking Mat what his setup is , I watched him pass just about anything else on the track in his S at Doningting early this year.

Could be talent?

A little off topic BUT is there perhaps some greater detail of a rear ARB mod?

[Top Gear TVR]

Front TVR V8S ARB please. If you have another subject, why not start one?

[cb500t]

Because its already mentioned and a pic exists here and NO WHERE else !

Not exactly true, old post with few more pics and info here ...... clicky

Now back to front anti-roll bars, what was the question?

[GreenV8S]

Are the V6 25mm bars the same shape as the V8 22mm bars?

[phillpot]

Mine's round, is the V8 one?
