New TVR suspension parts arrive

Steve Heath releases Cerbera, Tuscan components


none
Need better handling from your TVR? Not content with helping Griffith and Chimaera owners to improve their car’s handling with his range of anti roll bar drop links, TVR specialist and racer Steve Heath has expanded his range with replacement front links for Cerberas, Tuscans and the S Series.

These replace the original rubber bushed versions and provide better roll control and handling. Heath said that feedback from owners has been extremely positive with comments like “ the car feels really planted now” and “the car doesn’t roll going into corners any more”. In some cases, this has meant that the shock stiffness can even be softened up to provide a smoother ride. This improvement has been seen on road and track day cars alike.

The new drop links are available as before (see previous story) in blue or red and use rose joints to provide direct linkage between the anti roll bar and the suspension wishbone. This direct linkage means that roll is stopped as soon as the car starts to lean over rather than having to wait until the original drop link’s rubber bushes have stopped moving. There is no rubber to perish and harden either -- although rose joints do have a reputation for being noisier in operation than rubber.

They come with full fitting instructions and, said Heath, are easy to fit. They are available now and can be ordered online (see link below). The price is £69.99 inc VAT and P&P per pair for the S series and £79.99 for the Cerbera and Tuscan.

Does this mean they will fit the T350 also?

Silly question time , I assume the red/blue colour is purely a personal choice and not for performance .
Glad the 'S' ones are up and running now, must add a red set to my Xmas list .

Obviously bling is not your thing....

Yes it's just a colour preference.

Are these much of an improvement in normal everyday driving conditions?

How would they compliment uprated springs / shocks such as Avo's or Nitrons?

Yes they are but don't take my word for it:

Just fitted Steve Heath's demon anti-roll bar drop links. The results are amazing. Now the bars work properly and instantly - the car stays totally flat and I've been able to soften of my Nitrons, improving the ride. They're worth every penny, easy to fit and Steve's instructions (as you'd expect from the man who wrote the "bible" are spot on.

Got tje, on a Tuscan 2S with Ohlins and the handling is wonderful. The guys who fitted them didn't find it easy, though

Glad everything is OK. I've emailed the guys to see what they struggled with.
It is a bit strange in that the two people who have struggled with them seem to be the professionals!
All other comments have been, it has been easy/straightforward. I fitted some to a Cerbera last week and it only took 15 minutes a side.
I wonder if the Ohlins got in the way and that caused the problems.

I know a lot of you are planning to ask Santa for some drop links either for earings, Christmas tree decorations or even for your pride and joy. As a result, I could do with a bit of help as the demand and leadtimes are increasing.

Please don't leave it to the last moment to order them otherwise I may not be able to get them to you till after the New Year.
This not only scuppers the joy on Christmas morning but also means the holdays can't be used to fit them.

Orders taken in the next two weeks will be OK... after than it is in the lap of the Gods. If I can, I'll ship them but I can't guarentee it.
The last thing I want is a load of dissapointed people....

Thanks
Steve
