RE: [Quantum Owners] Saloon rear ARB mounting hardware

The panhard rod doesn’t need to adjustable, just needs ‘adjusting’ to the 
correct length to get the axle central. I did this on mine, and the only bushes 
I could get were poly, so they will be also fitted..

£12 is certainly cheap for a BMW part! Will be interesting to see how this 
looks when you get it all installed and of course how it performs. Pretty sure 
I will need to follow a similar route  My rear (suspension that is) ) needs a 
good working over - needs shorter springs (the ride height is way too high - 
the rear has the 4*4 look which seems common on Quantum saloons) - needs an 
adjustable panhard rod (axle is quite offset) - needs new trailing arms and 
poly bushing all round

So here is a picture showing a comparison of the xr2 Vs the 12mm E60 bar.

I found it by lots and lots of picture comparing on the net, then took a gamble 
on the 12mm which was just £12 delivered!

I have designed some extension arms to go onto the original ends , this will 
offer adjustability and reduce its torsion rating.

Can I ask how did you arrive at the BMW bar solution - trawling through 
scrapyards or did you find some reference material regarding bar dimensions on 
different cars?
I started searching by just by looking at photos of various bars which have 
similar shape/proportions. Mazda MX5 front was one candidate although I haven't 
measured one up yet.

That servo installation looks good – did it  need a new mounting bracket and a

It may be that later ones have the same part (but with a different part 
number), but IIRC they changed to a twist beam with no separate ARB. Anything 
over a few years old will possibly be difficult to obtain.
BTW how did the Land Rover servo fit on the Q03?
