Have a 1.2 corsa and am trying to fit an arb from a gsi, wanna know whether it will effect handling with my suspension setup. But cant seem to work out where it goes?

I think im being really thick but can someone either tell me where it attaches on either side, of even better post up a picture?

You need the brackets to attach it, not just the bar. It follows the line of the front tie bars, but hangs below.

It will make the car more likely to understeer as the front is stiffer than the rear, all other things being equal.

does it have 2 brackets or 4?

I undertstand what your saying about understeer, but i personally think its down to everyones individual suspension setup and i have this arb so wanna see what works best for my set up, with or without.

Are the front tie bars the parts that go from the bottom of the suspension arm to the front of the car?

Here is a picture of the front passenger side, followed by drivers side.

Can anyone point out on these pictures where the front arb fits?
