Installation
Fit with the car safely supported on a ramp or axle stands. Undo the drop links and the bush brackets, then remove the original bar. Fit the Hardrace bar with its new bushes, refit the brackets and drop links, and tighten everything to the vehicle manufacturer's torque figures with the suspension loaded at normal ride height. If you tighten the bushes with the wheels hanging, they are pre-loaded and can squeak or wear early. Set both ends to the same hole and start on the softer setting. No wheel alignment is needed for the bar alone. We recommend professional fitting.
Upgrade Further
Does it fit the Evo 8 MR, 9 MR and wagon?
Hardrace lists the Evo 7-9 CT9A without excluding these versions. Please check with us before ordering for a wagon or a non-UK car.
Does it fit the Evo 5, 6 or X?
No. It is listed for the CT9A Evo 7, 8 and 9 only.
Which hole should I start on?
Start on the softer hole with both sides set the same. The firmer hole reduces front roll further but adds understeer.
Should I fit the rear bar too?
Yes, if you want to tune the balance. The matching Hardrace 3-way adjustable rear bar lets you dial in how much the car rotates.
Do I need an alignment?
No. An anti-roll bar does not change the alignment settings.
Is it road legal?
Yes, it is a bolt-on suspension part. Tell your insurer about the modification.
