Yeah i think i started that thread a while back. Its does make an overall 10-15% increase in corning / performance ability.

Add front and rear ARBs and you can corner like a mad man.

Thanks for that good to hear it makes a difference, not sure if it will make a world of difference in the snow at the moment, need to wait till it disapears to test it properly!

Well i checked the XDS strength and it was set to 2 as standard ? Is this an ED35 feature or has somebody already been fiddling with it ?

If I remember correctly,I think 0 (zero) is the better setting, 2 is standard.

Just try it on zero and see what you think.

Channel 36 XDS
There are 3 settings
0-center (stock setting)
1-weak
2-strong

Above copied from a US site, ill try 0 at some point and see if there is any noticeable difference
