Anti roll bar brace

Desmos · Post by **Desmos** » Mon Jul 28, 2014 10:01 pm

Hey all.
Am I right in thinking there's benefits to be made from additional bracing across the front ARB?
I'm sure I read somewhere that Alpina offered this. Does anyone have any images as looking to fabricate one.

Thanks in advance.

Not too expensive through our website's main sponsor either:

Perfect thank you.
Are there benefits to be had?

Bigger if you don't have a strut brace but it does stiffen things up anyhow making it feel more rigid, solid, less sensitive to deep tracks, more stable turn in.

Where does that attach to?

Front sway bar mounts, just using longer bolts.

Does that make a difference? Surely swaybar mounts are joined together by the front end metalwork so fairly solid. I get the concept of the strut brace, but this seems a bit different.

IF the front suspension would be made like it is on a E30, this wouldn't be necessary.

I have it on my E21, as I already had a strut brace and was looking for a even more solid front, this was the best thing to do, and you have an additional guard if you are driving low.

Yup, the whole E21 front is floppy so everything helps

Knocked this up:

Surprisingly good mod. Much less tram lining and bump steer seems reduced. Not bad for free

change the bushes if you want to revolutionize the driving in the E21

On the list bud.
Trying to source some upgraded versions...if anyone knows a linky?

I've had a problem with my ARB upgraded bushes, they won't fit! No matter how much grease I use, they're not going on!

The front ARB stiffening bar looks good though.

Good mod with a stripped down shell you can flex the front chassis rails by hand

It is the arb to control arm bushes you want to upgrade and there are 2 versions
