Front antirollbar kit
I'm in the process of making 6 of these kits with Tim's agreement . This may lead to other parts being made available subject to costs / margin .
Each ' kit ' will contain -- a 5/8 ths inch bar with 3 adjustment levels -- 4 brackets to bolt behind top and bottom shock mounts -- 2 poly mounting blocks for the bar -- 2 unthreaded links (cut to length -- suiting cars suspension travel -- you thread ) -- 4 high quality rod ends to join links to shock mounts from bar -- 8 rod end spacers -- 8 nuts/bolts .
Total cost was £160--00p plus post at cost or collect. (new spec' since 1st order - alloy hex link rods - threaded) Cost now £168.50p & negociating coating the kit will advise £ -ASAP .
Only 2 holes to drill , one through each front chassis triangle , just in front of the engine . Loosen bottom shock bolts / slide in slotted brackets . Remove top shock bolts / bolt U bracket to it . Clamp the bar . Connect and adjust rod ends / links . JOB DONE
Supplied bilthamber treated/painted . This bar knocked 1 sec' off my Goodwood PB time. Fitted to a softer ride road car will give much less roll on corner entry/exit so better handling without resorting to very high spring rates as on mine. Obviously will not effect your existing ride / comfort level.

Noted Steve , I'll keep one for you once made up. Rear arms -- long travel are already on my thinking list . I am also measuring up a FURY soon to check antirollbar fit and making rear long travel arms for it That will mean fitting 15 in shocks though , with 10 in spring , don't forget . I run 14 's but my car is VERY lowwhiterabbit wrote:And me one, don't know when chances like this may come again. For the future, whats the chance of doing the 'bent' lower trailing arms next ?
Steve.
Rob(looks as though 6 kits wont be enough )

Not unless I bought the manufacturing rightsWerner Van Loock wrote:I'm up for new stylus trailing arms too. And as you're at it, front bent A arms are also on the wishlist, the ones I have pinch the bottom ball joint rubbers. I'd need a pattern & can't use mine because it's not ' Stylus ' now up front --- my own wishbones plus RACELEDA uprights etc / rose jointed
Are you an official SSC dealer now Rob? No -- couldn't claim that , merely asked Tim's '' o.k. '' to make a ' few ' bits for the guys on the forum
What's next? Chassis' ?
Noted Werner ---- one pair of trailing long travel arms

That's because KITS aren't selling (being in Llanidloes doesn't help) and he can't make a living selling ' bits ' . Maybe if there were 700 or more Stylus's out there as there are FURY's for instance then a living can be made even if no ' kits ' are sold . Repairs , upgrades , race damage , etc etc. For instance I'd have to sell 100 ' bars ' to make £5000 before tax / overheads and with only 90 guys on this forum NOT much chance of that. But then I have another incomeCerberus wrote:There are plenty of people out there who want bits Rob, thats why nobody can understand why Tim wants to go paintingstylussprinter wrote: A bit surprised by the response to be honest

Your 'spring rate' , for your car and purpose will be exactly that -- YOURS . Long travel arms will need 15 in shocks to suit , preferably AVO 1.9 in with 10 in springs & lbs to suit So it's possible but unlikely that your existing springs will be suitable.Nissanman wrote:Don't rush with the rear arm - I think I'll make sure I have all the spring rates correct first as I'm not sure what the car came with. Hopefully the rate is still marked on the end of the springs...
