Anti roll bar

[Charlynsane]

Hello Guys

I'm about to fit a rear roll bar for my fast road Cooper mk1

Which bar could fit a works central exhaust?

Thank you

Charles

I've got a KAD version that runs along the back of the subframe on mine with the RCM Maniflow centre exit system, I'm sure others have different set-up's that also work with a centre exit

Hello

Do you have any pics of the roll bar fitted?

Thank you

Why do want to fit a rear ARB? Stiffening across the rear axle will increase oversteer.

I’ve got a KAD one on the race car fits fine with a centre exhaust as the bar sits above. You do have to watch wheel clearance. If you’ve got a standard Cooper I don’t even think the narrow FIA one will fit, it’s tight on an S

I I don't have oversteer problem

I'm aiming to reduce the rolling motion, when I change of direction, or in a long corner, I would like to stabilize the car.

It's definitely a fast road car but will me used 99% of it's life on road

What happened to 360gts' plans to re-engineer and manufacture the speedwell ARB in a small batch?

I'd still be interested in buying one too.

I run a KAD one on my hillclimber, it's good, but I wouldn't use it on the road, I have a Speedwell one on the Speedwell car & you can't tell it's there. If I had to use one on a road car I'd use a very light one like the Speedwell one as I reckon that they are completely unnecessary on the road. And has laready been said, the main reason to fit an ARB is to increase oversteer NOT to keep a car flat through long bends.

Thank you for your explanations Mark

What would you recommend top stabilise car on long curves or "brutal" change of direction
