Stiffer rear ARB will give better turn in, but make it a bit twitchier at the back end. Almost oversteer like iirc.

Removed mine,
Helps fight against understeer, which corsas are very bad for.

Surely a lose front and stiffer rear would put alot of stress on the shell through twisting
Ive kept the front and uprated the rear

i took my front ARB off both my other car and the GSi and its much better without! Turns in better and understeer is drasticly reduced!
I would do it, try it and if you dont like...put it back on. Takes 10 mins to do! Believe me its worth it...

with the arb on, when one wheels lifts it lifts the other, hence the understeer.
Get it removed and they work independantly, works much better.

I took mine off a while back and you'd be suprised with the change it makes!
The car turns in so much neater without the usual understeer and just generally feels smoother imo

On and Off give gains in different situations.
Normal road driving i prefered the ARB disconnected at the front.
On flat smooth track with grippy tyres - on

What are the disadvantages of not having a front ARB?

on a quick road with small fast corners, its more unstable and touchy. But after time you do get used to that...and its better without.

Couldn't agree more.
That's exactly what I found.
I think it's much better left on and updating the rear with a whiteline.

Why does a Corsa need a rear ARB when it doesn't have independent suspension? You just need harder damp and rebound on your dampers to stiffen the rear.
I would rather lose by a mile because i built my own car, than win by an inch because someone else built it for me.

Ive always wondered this but followed the crowed and bought one. Personally I thought it handled quite well with it, but I have always thought that...

there not realy an arb as such, more of a beam brace.
