just installed my new rear arb, it took about an hour to install. i took it for a small test drive but was stuck behind lots of slow traffic so didnt get chance to throw it about.
i was thinking anyway, on a wet day like today its probably best not to test it too hard..lol
i did notice it was a little sharper but didnt notice a huge difference in the small drive i had, i think i need a quiet dry day

Does feel a lot more planted and a fair bit less roll but I initially fitted it when I just had standard suspension.

just took it for a little spin and i`m more than happy with it.
got a little question for rhyso, ive had a look at your build thread, whats the bits of box section bolted between the bottom of the shochs and the arb bushes for?.. mine didnt have them and looks stronger without

Mine's the old style Whiteline ARB. Take it you've got the new one which removes those sections?
-
they were removed from the new style for aesthetic reasons, doesn't make them any stronger

Get your self a front ARB now. I've finally got around to fitting a front ARB to complement the rear and it's transformed the cars handling much much sharper now, ARB's must be the number one mod! :smiley:

Ask Nick how a fwd car sticks it's tail out :grin:
I think he was gob smacked that they will over steer with an aggressive set up.
