that black car still makes the hairs on my arms stand up...

i really really want one!

did you notice the inside front wheel lift off the ground in the one corner?
did you see how flat it corners?
how stiff that body is?
how nice the engine sounds?

its so wikked!

I wonder how they get it to corner so flat?? I think I need something more to make my sx stiffer again.

Seem weld + Roll cage

You don't want your car that stuff... that is pissing blood stiff...

GGary5705 Feb 2008, 13:21

less body roll would be nice.

DDanielmoderator05 Feb 2008, 13:31

What about ARB's? would be nice to get in SA *cough*cheap*cough*

Anti-Roll Bars dramatically improve handling. They minimize the traction-robbing body "lean" that rolls part of the outside tires off the pavement. Sport-tuned Anit-roll bars replace skinny OEM bars and rubber bushings with larger diameter (stiffer) alloy steel bars and poyurethane bushings. More roll stiffness means less body "lean", and the tires stay flatter on the pavement (larger contact patches). The result is more grip and added driver control.

Progress Ant-Roll Bars are cold-formed in-house using their custom built precision bending equipment. Both laser-cut and CNC bar ends are MIG welded in place using a precise fixture for an exact fit.

*just the first google search i came across

I can get those made, I just need a sample!!!

VVladeadmin05 Feb 2008, 15:08

Take on off your car

GGary5705 Feb 2008, 15:12

Then Ill be without a car while they getting made...

I could take mines if you make them for me too 😂
I need some of that stuff, and some proper pollyuth*#&#*Cough* spelling 😳 bushes stuff too...

kinda sounds supercharged doesn't it...

our ARB's are quite staunch to start with. they're are nearly double the thickness compared to other cars of the same era.

there are couple of things that would really improve stiffness, but once you start suspension mods, you never stop.

full rollcage and seam weld is one of the best bets.
lots of strut braces - because there are more than two places for them to fit.
rose/heim jointed suspension arms
thicker anti-roll bars
solid/polyurethane bushes
powerbraces
fender braces
foam filled structural joints
etc.

Well if anyone comes across a set please let me know.

DDoctor G06 Feb 2008, 15:53

Why not take the ones off that white s13 at VC's place. The one that bonded with a tree.

I'm sure it can do without it's sway bars for a week or two.

one thing though, will you be able to get them to make new bushes and brackets to mount the thicker sway bars?

Also, how thick do you think they should be? Does anyone know the specs on the Progress/Whiteline bars? Too thick may affect your car negatively as well.
