Hello Folks,
If I fit eccentric (m3 type) poly bushes front and rear do I have to find m3 anti roll bars too or will the standard ones still fit.
Any help appreciated,
Ali

Buy the correct diameter ARB bush for your ARB job done

Ta. Just thought I'd check because I'd heard that when you fit the eccentric bushes and change the cars castor, you need to use the m3 antiroll bar at the rear.

Are there any hidden pitfalls at all? or is it a simple case of buying eccentric bushes for front and rear fit them and go?

I think all the pbmwc race cars have the m3 or other eccentric front wishbones bushes, and the series does not allow a rear anti-roll bar - therefore I imagine theres no need to change the rear anti-roll bar!
