    Improve handling and reduce roll

    I posted this in the FS section, but if any Galant owner wants to cheaply improve their car's handling and reduce roll in corners, I have a set of stiffer front and rear anti roll bars fir sale for just £80.

    Lemme know if you're interested.

    Cheers,

    Mart.

    No-one bothered about improving their handling?

    Seems like a gift to me!

    Just to confirm that these are for a Galant saloon?

    I'm looking for a rear strut brace for a Legnum.

    As far as I am aware the Galant is already supported at the rears by the rigid parcel shelf. Its the cavernous Legnum that has rear body roll and creaking which is where an additional strut bar is useful, but it restricts the space in the back when the seats are down. MEans you need to remove the brace to use the back space fully.

    Fronts are same I believe.

    My question here was supposed to ask if they were for under the car rears or interior rears. I want an interior rear.

    I am selling ANTI ROLL bars, these work quite differently from strut braces.

    Anti roll bars will stop the outside corner sides of your suspension from trying to extend when you enter a fast corner and hence reduce roll on turn in and keeping the car flatter.

    The VR4 ARBs are thicker than standard Galants and so offer improved handling.
