rear anti roll bar

[hoshy]

oooohhh yes baby!!!!

took me about three hours lol but I did! took her out for a spin and what a difference! Can't believe I'd waited so long and WHY did bmw ever sell an e30 without one!

to push in the drop links I had to take off the read dampers. noticed there's no rebound. so I guess they're fucked? I've got the two off the 325i (prefacelift) they will fit yes? any better? or should I just buy some mtecs and get the spings at a later date.... (money's tight atm)

[hoshy]

bump


anybody who's got an e30 without one one really should fit it. very cheap and very worthwhile!!!

[Karan]

yeh...rear arbs rule!!! especially in transitions when switching from left to right..... ask Wil...........LOL

[hoshy]

can I ask mate what the s in arbs stands for.... it the only thing stopping me using arbs instead of typing out antiroll bar every time

its plural LOL

as in..... anti-roll bars

so ARBs

getit???

[hoshy]

ahh cool. then, arbs rock

as I said before, I can't believe I waited so long to fit it.


what cars are they standard on?

[Adam318i]

Where can you get them from?

Off a sport/iS?

And are they a PITA to fit?

[hoshy]

I know all 325i e30s come with them as standard not sure about others.

it took me about three hours but I'm a proper n00b and can tell you where I was going wrong too. There's at least one in the for sale section atm. You wont regret it mate. 25squid for the bar I think it was... that and a bit of patience is all you need. tools wise I used:

13mm and 19mm ratchet/spanners.
jack
axel stands
washing up liquid

[Adam318i]

Ok mate, i think i'll fit one once my car is all sorted.

Thanks

I think you've got that back to front mate.
If they rebound there called springs

[hoshy]

yeah you're right I had the idea in my head that the were supposed to return to their "normal" position. but I know now, they are there to control the rate of compression and expansion of the springs.

My 323i has front and rear ARBs so I presume all of the 323s did?
