Stiffer front ARB

[Richard 858]

Considering upgrading my standard 22mm front ARB whilst I've got the front suspension in bits. I see they're available from Racetech Direct but seem a bit steep pricewise. Wondered if anyone has managed to find an alternative supply/decent manufacturer for a cheaper but good quality alternative? As ever, any help much appreciated.

Got my upgraded ones from a grief owner via the small adds.

There's a bit of reading on the merits of the Chimaera ARB on this thread.

Thanks Peter, much noticeable difference on the front end?

Not much noticeable differance to be honest, but every little helps.

I now have a 25 mm front and a 22 mm rear.

What are they originally off of, Sierra??

the stiffer bars do a little problem is they then induce more twist into an already flexy chassis stiffening the front end is the real goal mat smith and i have been having discussions on this very topic my solution all be it radical is as i have built the front end of the cerb with a massive turret to take the loadings.

Bespoke for TVR.

Thanks chaps, interesting stuff John, can't wait to see the finished article & hope to see you both at a Ginetta event next year.

Thanks for the feedback Peter, I think I'll stick with the standard 22mm ARB, fit some new droplinks (don't really want to start that debate again though!), some superflex bushes and see what happens! I'll report back (whether anyone's interested or not )
