Leave it off. Many people including me prefer the handling with decent front springs, a whiteline rarb and the front arb removed completely

I would leave it off and get some good suspension, but if you still want some there is some on ebay

I'd be leaving it off, I realised it made the turn in more positive when I left it off because I couldn't be arsed re-fitting it after fitting a new sump.

And yes vauxhall fitted them for a reason - but what they didn't do is put a 2litre engine up front, I think the fact that it's a heavier than standard engine is the reason why it's better without. Removing it does affect driving, the car's a bit more 'twitchy' at high speeds but you're talking 80-90+ before you feel a difference.

To be honest on B road blasting it made my car feel terrible without it fitted.

Undulations (sp?) in the road affect the car so much more. not worth it.

fitting the Whiteline RARB more than counteracts the understeer anyway without the draw backs of removing the FARB

Don't put massively high poundage springs on the front either, makes things even worse.

I've left mine on, running spax shocks and springs and it handles well.

Got gmax front shockers front and back dropped 60mm on the front and 80mm on the back also have a rear arb and just bought a strut brace for the front... Car sits low as fook for 60mm think I might need better poundage springs

I raised mine from 60 to 40, my arb was sitting too close to the deck

I left mine on, it handles well but not compared it without.

Mine is on Bilstein B12's and has a Quaife
