Rear anti roll bar

Mike Trident · 23rd August 2018, 21:35

Is it worth retro fitting a rear anti roll bar to my facelift CDTi. I know they upped the spring rate. Has anyone actually done it?

After lowering mine with Eibach Pro springs I also retro fitted the ZT rear arb which is beefiier than the 75 one.Nice combination,can definitely feel the difference.Much tighter in the turn.

You may have to re-tap the threads for the anti roll bar bush brackets into the subframe, but otherwise it's pretty straightforward.

Worth doing in my opinion.

Think I have a ZT rear one you can have for price of postage sat down the side of the garage. It would probably need a coat of paint but yours if you want it. I will check to see if its there.

Yes worth doing.

Mine being 2004 (53 plate) it didn't have it fitted as standard.

I found it made the car feel a bit stiffer & took bends a bit better if I was pushing

My 2004 has one? I was told it had sports pack out of the factory, would that be why?
