Owen Posted July 29, 2004 Share Posted July 29, 2004 Actually, I don't care whether it's the R200 or R230, what I want to know now is....what have you people done for rear swaybars? In doing the Q45 diff swap, I lost the use of my rear sway bar. I think think Terry used one off a Prelude, but he's not using the Q45 diff...rather than crawling under each and every car in the junkyards, I was thinking of using these. This way, everything will be adjustable too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mark Posted July 29, 2004 Share Posted July 29, 2004 I have a 73 with R230. I use a 78 inch bar that mounts to the stock points and I have adjustable endlinks on the bar that help with clearance but the stock stuff will work with my set up. It all clears the CV's by about a half inch. hope that helps. Mark Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Owen Posted July 30, 2004 Author Share Posted July 30, 2004 Hmm. mine didn't seem to fit at all. Does your bar mount on the uprights or on the mounts in front of the diff? Any pix? Owen Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mark Posted July 31, 2004 Share Posted July 31, 2004 My bar mounts in front of the diff, sorry no pics. Car is a 73 and the bar is from top end performance I believe. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
johnc Posted July 31, 2004 Share Posted July 31, 2004 A more fundamental question: Do you really need a rear anti-roll bar? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Owen Posted August 2, 2004 Author Share Posted August 2, 2004 True, it's not anything I'm going to do right away. Don't have the money anyway...it just feels like too much understeer with only the front bar. Of course, the car's suspension is not tuned worth sh*t yet either.

johnc Posted August 2, 2004 Share Posted August 2, 2004 The fastest ITS Zs in the country (easy coast guys) normally don't run any rear anti-roll bar. I'm sure your car can be tuned to handle very well without any rear ARB. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Owen Posted August 2, 2004 Author Share Posted August 2, 2004 Hopefully, yes, but what it comes down to is if I'm comfortable with the car. Hopefully, I can find a cheap solution that will let me take it off if I don't like it and won't leave a big hole in my wallet! Owen Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Owen Posted August 9, 2004 Author Share Posted August 9, 2004 Well I was told I don't need one too...but if I like it with it on,...welll... Do you have a pic of the one you're not using anymore? Owen Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest quadcamZ Posted August 17, 2004 Share Posted August 17, 2004 if you are designing something as complex as your originall post. Controll blade would be the way to go. a blade that can be twisted if it is vertical it is stiff it is horizontal it is soft. and infinatley adjustable within the two points.

Owen Posted August 17, 2004 Author Share Posted August 17, 2004 I did a search on the net and came up with all these weird, non-car results. Do you have a link to one? Owen Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
johnc Posted August 17, 2004 Share Posted August 17, 2004 A typical adjustable anti-roll bar with a blade end runs $1,100 to $1,300. On any Z, other then a pure track car running in a GT class, its bling. I couldn't even justify the cost of one on the ROD and I had $63K in that 240Z.
