hello , have heard some where that the ARB on the front can be changed to one from a different car which is thicker? any body know which cars will fit thanks...

A dedra front ARB can be used.

Thanks Matt do you know how much thicker the dedra one is?

I'd ask DocFrag as he had it fitted.

Genic, Hi

I got mine from Barbz at Torque Italia, can't remember the cost now, was not too expensive iirc,.. so long ago, but it was definately from a Dedra, I'd imagine they are hard to get hold of now,

Joe

Which Dedra, the Integrale?

I think so, but you wont be able to fit it to a 16v due to the gearbox linkages

Thanks, will ask barbz if he has one, if not then its find a part lancia breakers etc

ok being trying to find one of these , and I cannot seem to find one Is there a company who make these?
Also what about the bushes , are there any upgrades?
Thanks

Hi Genic,

a dedra integrale front torsion bar is only 1mm thicker i believe and in my opinion not worth the trouble swapping.

It will fit in the standard arb bushes but like begbie says maybe the gearbox linkage is in the way.


Anyway, you will have a better upgrade if you put a bigger ARB at the rear instead of the front.

Hi dink, The subframe is off my car so swapping the ARB is very easy at the moment so thats why i thought i would do it. I think its the 16v/16vt that has the problem with the gear linkasge

True, if you are going to fit one, then upgrading the rear ARB would be the way to go, that's if you want to reduce the Coupes inherent tendency to understeer.

Do Eibach/whiteline do upgrades for the 16v?

joe

The rear is exactly the same, and the front is too (well 16vt)
