Rear anti-roll bar arb

Post by tom023 » Wed Aug 15, 2018 4:49 pm

I have just got in contact with Hond-R and they have told me that the Tanabe rear arb has been discontinued. They offered me the Ultra Racing 23mm SOLID bar at 280GBP.
Does anybody run the UltraRacing arb and is it worth the money? The reason I ask is because it is the same size as stock, but solid instead of hollow. Does it weigh a lot more? :think:

Also does anybody know a good place I can get individual (pairs) ES suspension bushes from?

I have one, lighter than stock and seems to do its job fairly well.

Call me stupid, but if they are both steel but the stock one is hollow, how can the ultra racing solid bar be lighter? haha

Is 280gbp a good price? Seemed a bit on the expensive side to me.

I had the tanable 26mm rear roll bar.
Chromomly Steel, hollow but a tad heavier.
Appauling rear end wiggle during uneven surface daily driving. Not comfy.
Came off, stock back on.

While we are on the subject, does the rear lower brace do anything other than look shiny?

Hmm, I thought the general consensus was that an uprated rear arb was the best thing for reducing understeer. I didn't know that it could give you a wiggly bum haha

Wow, that's half of the price of everywhere else. Did you get charged import tax with it coming from Malaysia?
