ARB's are the way to go!!

i have a 22mm on the front and an extra 25mm on top of the existing rear

the difference is unreal, turn in on the car is amazing

best £120 (2nd hand) i ever spent!!

I've got Eibach uprated 26mm front and 22 rear (I think!)
Flat cornering by the way. Whiteline also makes a kit (Aussie)
And I repeat the front brace give a more precise steering, and yes if I take it out I'll notice the difference, but my suspension also has Koni sport+Eibach springs+205/50 tyres.

Front one works.. well in my experience!:rolleyes: I had one on my old G plate Nova years ago.. it felt firmer!... but thats because I later found out that the lower landing panel (where the tie bars conect) had snapd all the way around and it was keeping my car together! :!

I dont think you'd be able to tell if the braces were on or off if tested. I cant. Not with fairly normal road driving anyway.

vauxhall, u want a front one from a late 1.6 sport, 24mm instead of the usual 18mm. rears are all the same i think.

Disagree with Miles in this one. Front one gives a more precise steering feel. Rear one-vvery little effect. Better fit upgraded antiroll bars first:thumbs:

Easy to fit, very little effect on the road.

how easy are they to fit?
