Front Suspension

[ludsonline]

Hi,
I want to narrow the front track on my car. Is it better to run adjustable TCA's & std rollbar or adjustable TCA's and compression struts?

Any help would be great

I prefer ARB location for Tca's as I find them quicker to dial in, but either would work.

one warning though, whatever you move one by you have to move the other 2 by the same ammount



Hope that helps, Gary

I have Anglia rear axle & Mk2 Escort front suspension and want the front width the same as the rear, I think the Escort is 4" will this be Ok for the Anti Roll Bar to move this much ? 2" each side?

Luds why would you want to shorten an escort?

[ludsonline]

Anglia Track
Front 46"
Rear 46"

Escort
Front 50.3"
Rear 51.1"

[Clint]

Why ? one of the main reasons the Escort handles much better than an Anglia is its wider. Use a wheel with a wider offset rim or space the rear wheels out to match the fronts.

HI Clint,
It's because I want to squeeze 8" x 15" rims with 205/50/15 tyres under my arches without having to run bubble arches

[Clint]

if you move the front in it will hit the inner wing, they do slightly with normal track !

[ludsonline]

Looks like I will have to run standard width front end and get a escort rear axle then as widening the Anglia one 2" each side is a bit too much don't you think?, What arches apart form bubbles suit the Anglebox?

Bubbles

[ludsonline]

Here are the wheels I am trying to fit

[Retromotorsport]

Arch it, arch it, get it wider, width = grip and power is nothing without control

[ludsonline]

I guess I will have to arch it to get the wheels to fit properly and go Escort rear as well

[Retromotorsport]

Thats what i like to hear...

[Clint]

Keep the Anglia rear Axle they are stronger than the Escort ones

[Retromotorsport]

thats a good point Clint, and the dish that can be had on the wheel... they'll bloody echo in there when your cleaning them......

Where can I get some spacers that wide from then? will need 2" each side
