Another anti roll bar solution

[kabacj]

Excellent choice on the pillow block bearings....should eliminate any bending/binding issues.

The big front bar/low front spring rate forces you to run a higher front ride height to keep the chassis off the ground under hard braking. The big front bar set-up makes sense for a street driven car or a race car on a very bumpy track.....for a race car on a relatively smooth track, less so......so it depends on what you are trying to acheive with your car/set-up.

As far as rear bars....kinda the same..... it depends on what you are trying to acheive with your car/set-up. I am not a fan of rear bars on race cars because it decreases traction coming out of corners (very important to lap times).......at most it should be sized to fine tune the balance. For street driven cars makes alot of sense.....since I am building primarily a track car, I haven't put much thought into it.

Hi Joel I noticed your roll bar solution in your photobucket link. Once I saw it I rembered back when I was lurking on the other board the discussions that were had about your front suspension setup.

it looks like your solution has the bar runing crosswise just at the rear of the front compartment. I also noticed that you have a shot with the AC evaporator. http://i926.photobucket.com/albums/a...roll_bar_3.jpg How did you get the bar accross without hitting the AC fan? My setup has the fan inside a blow molded housing right in the same location you have the bar on your drawing. Obviously thats a great place for the bar, just wondering how you delt with the AC.
