Front Anti-Roll Bars - Sprite & Midget

It is important not to fit too stiff a bar, as this will ruin the ride comfort, transmitting road shocks through to the driver and passenger. The later cars were fitted with a 9/16 diameter bar as standard, we have found the ideal anti roll bar for a standard road car is 5/8 diameter, a modified car will handle better with the 11/16 diameter bar. Competition cars benefit most from the 3/4 or 7/8 bars depending upon their specification, but, these bars can prove to be too stiff for road use and will push the handling towards understeer again. Our experience has shown that the original bar end stops are not required for the competition bars, though they should be used on road bars.
