S2 anti-roll bars upgrade

Yeah - mine happened to get the weediest of the lot, front and rear! Just my luck, eh?

What's 944Online?

Just an American store and forum.

It's sometimes useful to 'see' the parts and 944online allows you to do that, along with diagrams from PET with arrows pointing to the bits they're talking about.

Peter,

Where is your verdict on the 968 M030 ARBs? Are they OK for normal road driving?
Did you have the stock arb brushes or some poly ones?

There was a noticeable degradation in ride (I was already on much stiffer springs and dampers too) but it was so much flatter through corners it was well worth it in my mind. I suppose it depends how hard you drive the car as to whether you're willing to put up with this compromise. I guess some people would say that's not what having a cab is all about, but certainly based on Flash's 968 cab that I mentioned above it seems they respond just as well as the coupe to this kind of thing. If you grin everytime you see a roundabout on the horizon then I'd guess it's for you []

I've just recently gone to polybushes, but this was with lots of other changes so I cannot comment on what this did on its own. I would definately get some KLA arb braces (from ESS) which triangluate the droplink and are really important when increasing the stiffness of the arb's.

I stand corrected on the size of S2 arb's I didn't realise Porsche had changed the spec over the years. I do talk a lot of twaddle at times

Peter,
Do I need just one pair or 2 pairs of the KLA arb braces i.e. front and rear?

 

[Peter Empson]

They're just for the front so you only need one pair.

Peter,
Have you also had the KLA rear arb droplinks installed too? Are thay any good?

I don't have the KLA ones, I got some from a chap on Rennlist who used to make them up in his spare time for a very reasonable price. I can't remember his name now but I don't think he still does them. These were fitted with something else, so don't know if they did much on their own.
