on FWD cars the back has to be stiffer at the back than the front to grip and handle better (obviously not like that from the factory for comfort and safety) so i would leave the standard front arb on and put another one on the back like the whiteline ones people use. Or you could still put a thicker one on the front and and even thicker one on the back to still making the rear stiffer, also higher poundage springs could be used at the back, these will reduce understeer and improve rear grip.

Yep, that's what i felt. Now i have (at the front) upper and lower strut brace and arb.
