please forgive my stupidity and ignorance (hey i only drive the car, i pay someone to do the spannering !!). where do i find the anti roll bars - ie how do i know if i have got them and should i be able to visually check the bushes easily ?? is it good to have ARB at the front and back. the car is a 325 with M3 brakes and suspension. is it as obvious as a steel bar that connects left side suspension to right side or am i way off the mark ??

front one connects to the control arms and runs under the car by the sump

325 should have a rear one too running along the back by the control arms

Most people I know who have asjustable arb's normally have them on soft or indeed disconnect the rear, soft is not all bad, depends on the track, tyres and other variables such as spring rates and suspension settings
