Best Springs for Handling?

[CAR]

Pics of this after market ARB would be good too, so we can all see how and where it is attached (unless I have missed pics of it before!).

I'll try to remember and take some on the weekend.

The bar itself was sold under the "Selby" brand and I believe is still available in Australia. The end links attach to brackets that are bolted through the hole in the trailing arm where the suspension spring sits. There are two more brackets welded onto the subframe where the D bushes attach.

They seem to possibly be a common fitment over here - as the spare trailing arm I purchased from a wrecker had the brackets for the endlinks on it.

Out of curiuosity I gooogled selby rollbars and came up with this. If you scroll down under Leyland ,they do make them for our cars.

Looked at the link, interesting that a rear bar isn't listed for the stag, even though it has the same rear suspension!

Pics would be very interesting and a comparison of 'before and after' a rear ARB has been fitted if anyone has ever done it.

Colin, just by changing the worn D bushes I had a big improvement in turn in around corners. After doing both the front and rear springs it felt a bit like it wanted to understeer into corners, whereas now I can feel the rear end assisting around corners. I pushed it a bit tonight on a tight corner and it had a nice neutral feel and felt like there was plenty of grip to explore even further.

(Don't forget I've got a front swaybar off a 2500S also fitted- with poly bushes and TR6 ball joint end links. Plus Koni shocks and larger offset 15x7" rims with 205/55R15 Yokohama S Drive tyres. So a few $$$ have been spent.)

I haven't had an alignment yet, so front camber and rear toe are unknown quantities. The front Koni's also feel like they would benefit from the damping being increased a bit (they're all set at the lowest setting.)
