uprated anti-roll bars and droplinks etc

[procta]

where do you fellas buy your hybrid anti roll bars,
uprated droplinks and strut braces?
I'm looking at spending some money on upgrades for the 306.

Theres a group buy for torsion bars and anti roll bars in the parts section :p

PM ripp for a strut brace he makes lower ones superb braces also I just got one myself

[gareth7]

^ agreed, much better than the lower OMP ones

[Niall]

seconded! Also, for droplinks just look on ebay for rose jointed ones. I believe there is a company called R and D development who do them. TBH there all pretty much the same sort of spec and ive heard good things about their ones.

Get a 30mm ARB, the Hybrid ones don't do much at all,

i always wondered, with the hybrid it goes from 30mm then tapers down to 25ish? Well surely the extra 5mm is pretty pointless as it will just concentrate the forces put on it on the smaller section?

My thinking too, as a bar will twist at the thinnest point and maybe put more load on it. I did buy one once used it for a week and sold it on

yes the larger bars are a pain to fit as you need to machine/replace the trailing arm but if it's worth doing do it right

No, it's still stiffer than a 25mm bar, but yes, it does concentrate the stress/fatigue at one point.

Procta id recomend uprating the bushes aswell. I used vibda technics P bush and powerflex fronts made a big difference

My hybrid bar seems fine and had no problems running it. Plus I did not have to machine the trailing arms.

That's the thinking of the Hybrid one, Taken from the BTCC I believe which had the same thing to a different degree, but for fast road/track use the 30 is the only option, It makes a huge differance
