Tyre width = 65 mm.

The JConcepts anti-roll-bar kit for Team Associated SC10, T4 or B4 vehicles is the result of continuous driving on indoor, technical driving circuits which require the correct vehicle balance. JConcepts, together with test drivers Brian Kinwald and Paul Wynn, sought out the proper pivot placement on the front and rear a-arms which provided the best performance point, which became the basis for the new design. The inner mounted locations place more emphasis on wire diameter and less mechanical advantage which allows the driver a more finely tuned piece.
