Hey...
Just seeing if anyone can shed some more light on uprating ARB's. As far as I know uprating the rear ARB to a thicker one will increase oversteer and uprating the front ARB will increase understeer.
I had my car on the track the other day and on the whole I was happy with how it drove. The only issue I had was with body roll at the front. Am I right in thinking that body roll will be decreased wih a thicker front ARB at the expense of more understeer?
If that's right, then in theory if I uprate the rear ARB to then I should have less roll and the same kind of ratio with understeer/oversteer.
Can anyone confirm this or am I talking rot.

That's the theory, yes.
I found that with an uprated front, my car turned in a lot better, I never had issues with understeer unless I was being silly.
Uprating both would keep the car balanced, but it might oversteer and understeer slightly more.
Harder springs would reduce body roll too.

I'm using eibach coilovers at the moment, can you uprate springs used on coilovers?
