GPvR Rear LCA difference

Post by spetz »

Hi guys,

According to the viamoto site:
https://www.viamoto.co.uk/proddetail.ph ... m+Rear+ARB

It says:
"Fits GP version R Models with 20mm ARB
Will also fit other Mivec Models as long as fitted as a pair."

What is the difference if anyone knows?
I assume perhaps the tabs for the swaybar are in a slightly different location?

They have a plate on the bottom for extra rigidity iirc

Is that the only difference though?
Doesn't seem like that'd be something that would prevent only fitting one of them?

I wouldn't fit a mismatched pair. It's a big plate, factory designed to stop flex in the arm caused by the bigger swaybar.

We covered off on this years ago. It's probably in the suspension thread. I ended up welding some up, before moving onto the alloy arms.

It would make a heap of difference in your highly calibrated lancer.

I already have those plates on my LCAs though I am not sure what car they came from.

I suspect that perhaps the ARB tabs are at slightly different locations though to make the ARB less/more effective
