Front Anti Roll Bar

[Guest Arblist]

Right people, i have completed the engine swap in my 405 mi16, the xu9j4 engine went bang, so i dropped an EW10j4 (206gti180 lump) in. the only problem i have is that i now have no room for the anti roll bar. anyone got any ideas for a relocation? The area around the gearchange swivel on steering rack is very tight, so tight in fact that i now run the cable change from the 206.

 

Im thinking of a setup more like the 205, with the drop links coming directly from the struts rather than from the lower arms. anyone else done anything similar???

i've no ideas without seeing what your current setup looks like, but here's what 205 gti suspension is layed out like:

One idea is to use something like an Escort RS turbo ARB mounted off the front panel. Don't know how much chassis modding would be needed to strengthen enough but i guess that with your conversion there would not be a problem with space if mounted up front.
