Had it done a couple of weeks ago now but due to lack of internet have't been able to share. I was going to do it myself until Warren kindly said he would do it on the beautiful Isle of Sheppy.

Car is now much much more sure footed and there is no body roll or loss of grip from the rear. Transformed the car.

surely you want loss of grip on the rear a bit... would prefer oversteer - to the rear sticking like glue and causing understeer.

stop messing about and get the LSd bought.

yeh it does... however OJC is claiming the rear now sticks a lot better, which is what made me think his ARB was for the front

I really have't had the opportunity to push it to the limit as I now don't know how far that limit is now. I'll wait until I can get it out on track.

All I will say is when cornering at speed rather than the rear lifting it's wheels it stays planted and you can feel how much more grip there is.

The RARB is adjustable and I've got it on the second from softest setting so I'll have a play around with it and report back.

Rear ARBs reduce understeer and increase front/rear grip BUT when on the limit its MUCH easier to spin it when rear grip is lost.

Yes, that is absolutely spot on description hence why I'm not to keen on pushing it to it's absolute limit on the road.
