front should be thicker on FWD car.

I'd argue that the rear should be thicker?
For more positive turn in?
Back end would be a bit friskier though, but a thicker arb on the front would increase understeer surely?

you have a honey pot for tuning, plus you buy GTR.
Neuspeed ARBs are expensive, 200 quid each. Eibach are cheaper.
