Anti Roll Bars

I've been trying to improve the handling of my car and with that in mind have been looking at possibly fitting an anti roll bar. The problem i have is what size/diameter bar to use. I've looked extensively on the net to try and find a "calculator" to help but to no avail. Does anyone have any advice or can point me in the right direction to a site that can help? :thumb:

Tony - some background stuff in this thread.

Somewhere else in it are details of the front anti roll bar as well.

Re: Anti Roll Bars

Tony

Are you looking for front or rear roll bars?

Re: Anti Roll Bars

Wilf, thanks i'll check out gasoles in a moment. Rob, probably try front roll bars first and go from there.

Re: Anti Roll Bars

Erm, how shall I put this.

Is it a problem with weight distribution in your car Tony?

(if so, then perhaps doing the corner weights this w/e may help)
