Lowered my car on 55mm bilstein kit, ive heard/ been told removing the front ARB will improve handling, is this true? any one done this themselves? Got the day off today and gf at work so got some alone time with my car

Uprating the rear promotes oversteer majorly but uprating front promotes understeer. Talked to Dave A about it and he said take it off as i have a decent suspension setup. Just wanted to see what other people thought

Hey mark, cheers for that. Think i might take it off and go for a little drive. Whats the best bits to replace or add if cutting out body roll (not inc the front ARB) poly bushes, lower strut brace, rear strut and uprated rear ARB?

the best thing you can do is buy a rear whiteline arb. i no people say they make a massive improvment but they really do, one of the best things i have bought and worth every penny. i can not get the backend to step out unless i use the handbrake, lol

Yeah the rear arb is a good investment. No money tho. What about a scaffold bar welded to the beam

I could get the backend out with a rear ARB

You have to drive ALOT harder though.

listen, i didn't realise i'd caused such a fuss.

i was reading it at face value, sounds like he's pushed his car to the limits... it wasn't a personal attack nor do i know this guys specific history.

sounded like he was bragging. i only asked a simple question in response to what he posted and unfortunately he took it personally.

i didn't mean to cause offence - chill out, this is a forum ffs.

I wasen't bragging, I was simply saying you could get the back end out if you push the car hard enough.

Plus, nor do I care if this is just a ''forum'', I don't take little pathetic comments like that too lighty

i didn't mean this was just a 'forum' - i meant that written words can be taken the wrong way and this time they most certainly have.

get your head around the fact that i asked you a perfectly reasonable question and you took it the wrong way.
