Yeah my theory is that also, as at the moment it's on that medium/hard setting and I think it's a bit hard now the front has more grip.

seeing as you are a thorney customer, would they give you advice on the RARB setting over the phone or if you popped in etc.

also would their fast road set up not be benificial to you, costs £150 acording to the website, not sure what other companys charge for that kind of work

Whats the set up on the rear of these?

If its simular to that on the civics the thorney equivalent were doing it for the same price and that included camber bolts on the front and adjustable arms for the rear that ment they could adjust more

Mine was awsome at bedford, once you are at the apex point wheel where you want to go and give it some

I had a diff on my rallye which in reality prob only ran about 110bhp, nothing touched it in the dry though

Fast road setup, na not worth it. I'm not sure as I wasn't there but I think they might have done the tracking when they done the LSD.

I notice that Aussie on VXRonline who has pretty much the highest track spec Astra isn't running a RARB but does have LSD and KW Varient 3's

Speak to Bo Neilson on VXRonline. His VXR is totally track prepped...well actually it currently being rebuilt for Time Attack. See what he's running.....
