Due to the unique circumstances at this race with the extreme grip, this set-up will not always work, but a more “standard” set-up is also possible The kit wil come with a Serpent Pit Mat 40th anniversary.
The wire type front anti-roll bar is ball raced. It is easy to change and adjust due to the open front end design. The standard wire is 2.5mm and 2 optional thicknesses are available. The pivot ball link system directs the suspension movement to the bar and allows easy tweak adjustment.
