I found taking any kind of turn above 90mph - even long sweeping ones, were abit hairy without the front arb.

	i ran my corsa without my front ARB, removed it... but it was a bit rear endy in th end, so was going to replace it. Turned in superbly if the car was weighted correctly/balanced for the corner. The rear was the problem. We removed the drop links from our 205, then retro fitted a lower strutbrace on the subframe, and top one on susp turrets. It had a bit of understeer

	Mine turned in better with a still front and no rear.

	I was gonna remove the one on my golf to get it lower, thought against doing it tho :look:
Paul_J	posted on 16th Nov 07 at 19:36
	I personally would prefere to stiffen the rear, rather than remove the front arb... but as a free mod it's fair enough.

	Yeah I was gonna say, alot of guys on the Rallye register have started removing the front arb altogether.

	quote: Originally posted by Colin arb should make it handle better :boggle: If it's FWD, having a stiff rear ARB and soft / no front ARB = good turn in / oversteery... Having stiff front ARB and soft rear ARB = understeery... Having stiff front and stiff rear (if done properly) = neutral nice handling... But generally on FWD stiffen up the rear ARB. If front is too stiff it'll cause understeer.

	i have a whiteline on the rear, handled alot better without the front

	so ive just got it back after finally having another gearbox fitted and i noticed yesterday my front wheels were on the wrong side (rotational tyres), so tonight i got it jacked up on axle stands and began swapping them round when i noticed something i never had before a front arb :\| i always thought those two from the lower ball joint to the front was the front arb and tonight i noticed a bar joining them so i was like wtf is that, no wonder my car handled better before :rolleyes: oh well :lol: are they easy enough to take off?
