    FAO those who have widetracked there cars

    Has anyone had issues with the 19 16v anti roll bar? mine knocks badly going over bumps as its hitting the driver's side subframe mount, i tried to move it over out the way, but it seems a tad too long, i know the car is lowered 35mm but i should have some standard springs on the way, anyone else had this problem, im hoping standard ride height will cure it as the arb will be further away.... And no its not my 19 16v driveshafts there fine!

    Ive had to trim all my arches, couldnt get full lock, dont know why the arb is touching it i pushed it over as far as it would go towards the passenger side, the powerflex bushes probably arent helping, is on 35mm springs im told, just seemed a little too long when i fitted it

    I clear the arches on full lock, thanks to the help of a hacksaw... but i have to drive up a curb to get in my drive... doh! oh well standard springs on the way! its just this knocking i get, anything other than slow around corners, or if you purposely throw the car into a turn so as to load the suspension up it knocks, but im pretty happy that the driveshafts have sufficient play, ive had the wheels of 15-25 times in the last 4 days lol!

    I'd maybe check that the brackets that hold the ARB aren't bent?
