You dont use anything off the old ARB from what i remember -





With an XE you need to use a spacer block in the front mounts to clear the manifold.

Good on track, shit on the road. Gave more grip and flatter cornering but it would break into understeer quicker if that makes sense.

On a front wheel drive car, especially the corsa, you want to increase the rear ARB to induce more oversteer

I've got a whiteline RARB yes. Was the best single handling upgrade I did. If pushed to limit my car now oversteers which I find much easier to control.

I too have a rear arb, i will not be fitting a front one, with my driving style etc it ruins it.

Id suggest getting a rear arb on first, try it with the front one on too, and then take the front one off and decide which you prefer.

They basically do lots of things lol, fit your front one and see what it is like, you might like it.

Something everybody can agree with though is the rear one as far as ive seen, Got one on my corsa and it really helped with the understeer.

I think this is what most people agree with. Not many who say otherwise tbh

From my experience I'd say Whiteline rear and remove the front for on track but keep the standard front for on road. I've no experience of the Whiteline front so can't really comment on that one.

My reasons for the above are because with a Whiteline rear and no front my Corsa is able to corner faster on track but when you're pushing it the back end can let go with little warning, not ideal on the road obviously.

When I had both I got progressive understeer if I pushed it, then if I really pushed it the back end would just skip slightly as a bit of a warning but it never needed any correction which in my eyes is pretty much perfect for the road
