Tuning rear anti roll bar ????
you can make a rear strut brace pretty easy by bolting a bar between the two strut towers. not sure about an ARB though
some people on here have a rear ARB, have a look in craigb244's turbo thread

need a rear arb from a mg tf then make your own drop links and mounts.
as for strut brace and rear strut towers...... you dont have any towers, or struts... or anthing that you can make a brace off other than the actual car

will the mg tf arb be the exact required length?
any tips for making the drop links and mounts?

check J33vos 1.4 cinq thread, he fitted it, and it was perfect length and strength. he had to make mounts for the bottom of the shock, bolted the arb to the axel in the center, and droplinks to the shocker. its a case of measuring and buying the right droplinks
It had to be cut and re welded in the middle I think .
I'm sure somebody will come along and correct me.
Thanks

nope... the MG rear ARB is MUCH MUCH to long. you need to cut a section out the middle (about 3foot!) then weld.
the cento arms need a lever welded on (mines welded from the bottom shock mounts with the mount bolt going through make it even stronger) I use the mg drop links but extended a couple of inch.
as for people mentioning a rear brace... these are pointless on a cinq as we have that HUGE beam going across arms

what about stiffer springs???
anybody fancy making me a complete arb with drop links mounts etc
I would but Ive been asked to make a couple for a cinq and sei autotest car and really id need the whole rear beam/arms which is not easy to transport
stiffer springs are ok but you end up to stiff where the wheels dont actually stay with the road on bumps and such... the anti roll bar allows for softer springs which make the suspension work better while increasing the spring rate when needed
ok thanks for that mine are well soft my cinq leans nearly as much as a 2cv i once had ffs was thinking bout renewing

ah no prob atal, and im in ireland so wouldnt be worth doing
but il stil gladly pay somebdy else to do it for me :devil:
We made our rear anti-roll bar a few years ago from as said an MGF frontbar shortened.
It is fixed in two positions on the rear beam on two triangulated flat sections we welded on the beam removing the exhaust hanger & integrating it into one of the mounts. Then two normal anti-roll bar U shaped brackets & bushes were used to fix it in place.
We made L shaped brackets that are bolted on bottom damper mount with a 2nd smaller tapped fixing point.
Then the bar is attached using rose joints which are freely available though ours were some spare integrale fronts I had in stock.
Having fitted WhiteLine rear anti-roll bars on my Suzuki Ignis Sport, Toyota Celica GT4 ST205 & my Clio Trophy the last two which like tge Cinq do not come with bars as standard, had experience of how a manufacturer known for it's anti-roll (sway in US or Australian talk) bars.
I do know of someone who used a Vauxhall Carlton bar but maybe not as available anymore.

Much as Craig says. I'll do you a blade typre ARB, but it'll cost in the order of 400 squid.
