What arb kit

Sat Jul 23, 2011 8:02 am

Thinking of ordering an arb kit for my M52 touring.
Atm it is full poly bushed and running a 60/40 H&R cupkit.
I am going to remove the poly rear beam bushes and fit oem ones.
What kit would suit me set up best.Car is a road car btw.

I have H&R anti roll bars on mine. Before fitting I did not really expect them to make much difference, But they did!! I now run a sensible road ride height/stiffness with very little body roll

I'd assume the bars and springs from the same manufacturer would make the best match. What wheels/tyres are you running?

+1 for rollbars - really good improvement

All the above made decent products. I wouldn't worry about which brand, It's the diameter of the bar that's more important as is, in my opinion adjustability.

I run the Eibach bars FWIW. Very happy win 'em.

I run the ur ones now and find them an excellent product.

You really should add an option for 'do not know',then we could all learn from this!

Agreed, I'm interested in purchasing a kit in the future some reviews on here would be a bonus

I'm running borbet c 205/45/16 atm with 20mm spacers on the front to give the space needed for the 4 pots i'm about to fit.

If you are just looking for a stiffer one put on one from a cab..21mm

Mon Jul 25, 2011 10:44 am

Are the cabby ones not the same diameter as the touring roll bars?

Mon Jul 25, 2011 1:10 pm

tourings are generally 20mm

I'm looking more for adjustable. (up front anyway)
Wit my car being a touring it has 20mm on the front as standard.

well H&R win as they have the most adjustment, as the rear bar is 2 way where as the eibachs are fixed. The fronts are the same

I've got Racing Dynamics front & rear ARB on mine, defo keeps it level in the corners. But they are very rare and not available new

Jake i've got the eibachs on mine and they were on when the suspension you bought off us was on the car, it all performed well but I just stuck them in the centre adjustment hole and haven't had a play about yet.

Mon Jul 25, 2011 9:43 pm

Eibachs are Three way adjustable, i have them on my car.

Mon Jul 25, 2011 9:57 pm

Thanks for the input guys.
The Eibach ones are looking like the ones i'll go for atm.
