what would be the best system be to make a anti sway bar by yourselves? consider that i probably will keep the original rear setup (with upgraded parts and maybe coil-overs although they rise a bit out of my budget since the motor will cost me some more than expected) ideas or pics are welcome.

and is a beam axle so much better than a regular subframe?

you can do anything if you set your mind to it...
i rather blow it up winning than keep it together losing.

Don't know about making ARBs (anti-roll bars as we call them in the UK), but look at the minispares and KAD items for ideas and bar sizes.

You don't need anything to thick for road use as the mini suspension is pretty hard anyway.

When you say beam axle do you mean a beam-frame (that is just the healboard part of the subframe with none of the doughnut mounting part)?

Or a beam-axle (that is the rear wheels joined by an axle on multi-link mountings)?

As it happens I prefer the standard setup with rubber doughnuts. The only advantage of the beam-frame and coilovers is less weight.

Yes beamframe. Doesn't it leve the rear a bit weak? The kad item for the rear looks pretty complicated. I had a tought to weld some bearing holder's on the healbordside of the frame and then put a curved bar trough it . Amd ficks the ends to the shockmounts of the arms... or wouldn't they be strong enough? Surely they would not be adjustable but is that necessary for a road (occasionally track) )car

Well it does mean the rear is not as strong in an impact, And you need to strengthen the towers for the coilovers, but it takes nothing away from torsional stiffness.

As for adjustability, no, it's not required, as long as you get the rate right in the first place.
