So youve driven a new KA? Where?

I Fitted the OMP lower strut brace to mine a few months ago, 26 quid well spent.
It took 10 minutes to fit and has transformed the handling completly, the body roll has vanished (unless you really push hard then its only minmal) , there's none of the skittishness in bends as the rear inside wheel starts to lift and has reduced the bouncyness noticably too.
Mine is a 1.2 and i left my mates 1.4 for dead on the lanes, he couldnt keep up in the bends at all. Fun Fun
Dont buy from ebay as they are listed at nealy £40 buy direct from omp they only charge £26.
That sounds very interesting. Do you have the part numbers for the braces ?
where in notts are you - i'm in Long Eaton:slayer:

Thanks for that. I'm just out of the city in Mappperley

Ive been trying to find out that, I have book about the new KA which has all details about them, and it mentions the new axle and roll bar, but nothing about springs and dampers.
If the springs are softer and fit then Id take a chance.
I'm sorely tempted by one of those if they make such a huge difference, may do the drop & the brace at the same time.
Any pics of it fitted?

So we end up with a steel bar hanging down 1.5 ins below the rest of the car, securely connected at either end to the front suspension mounts. Wonderful. Then if we are trundling down the ubiquitous steep Cornish farm lane, complete with large and immovable granite boulders sticking up in the middle between the ruts, we can imagine the inevitable result . . .
I think I might just pass on this one

Just been into Ford and looked under a KA, theres one sustantional rear anti roll bar on the beam, the sales guy reckons it rides very well.
If only there was a way of finding out if the springs and dampers would fit the 500, Id do it. Cant find any info on the Net.
