if you have coilovers, removing the front arb can benefit, i have, but adding a whiteline rear one also helps.

Thats how mine is, whiteline rear, none front.

your right... they are soft but there softer with the arb fitted....

i used to think the fk were harsh but compared to the biltein kit with -60 spring in my girlfriends tigra the ride is so comfy hers is like it has no shock at all...

my fk are going though.. i've had enough trying to sort the handling out.. its total rubbish.... konis and eibach springs here i come...

Adding front arb = more understeer.
Adding rear arb = more oversteer.

Depends what you suffer from most, my 20XE 5 door used to suffer badly from understeer until I removed the front ARB, im considering adding an aftermarket rear ARB to help balance the car even more - Ive hardly EVER experienced oversteer, just cant get the back to step out ever!
