i was wandering this with my ek4....whe in press on the brakes hard the rear goes light and ends up going mental almost spins me out
i wad thinking if a anti roll bar waould fix this as i dont have one at them moment? mabe a nice 24mm one from asr? and then uprate the front lower control arm bushes?
NO it wont fix it!!, an anti-roll bar controls body roll when cornering...a beefier rear bar will dial out understeer, but make the rear more lively under lift-off & braking (whilst cornering) conditions...
The rear anti-roll bar, by limiting body roll, also limits the amount of the vehicles weight transferred onto the outside rear wheel during cornering. From this, the more vehicle weight that is allowed to act down onto the tyre, the more grip it will have.
Thus, the thicker the bar, the more the tyre is likely to slide out suddenly when it reaches its limits of adhesion as there is less vehicle weight acting down on the tyre during hard cornering..
From your description it sounds like you need to look at brake balance, or your suspension set up to prevent such weight transfer to the front end under heavy braking
