front anti roll bars tend to induce understeer, rear anti roll bars can induce oversteer.

You may find that fitting a rear antiroll bar would have a very similar effect to removing the front one altogether!

No i used to run with no ARB's it wasent half as good as it is now with just the rear ARB

the whiteline rear ARB's are not the same as the GM rear ARB

erm, the front would roll a bit, if suspension is soft and found the corner you would go. with stiff suspesnsion and front arp, the car would go found lift inside wheel and send you on a merry voyage int othe bushes

so removing it is the better option. i have avo coilover upfront no ARB, and on rear i have avo coilovers and whiteline ARB, works wonders, removal ofthe front ARB makes a hell of a difference.

reading this I would say I'd take mine off...

but think I'll wait till my SPAX kit gets sent back from being refurbed, as the standard suspension will probs cause my car to roll
