Surely a new rear ARB will come WITH drop links?

i read one of ivor's post saying there is no point fitting front and rear as they cancel each other out he recommended fitting the rear for better handling..? i want to upgrade my arb's but now unsure weather to do both or just the rear...
are h&r better than eibech and whitelines?


A front ARB on its own would induce (even more) understeer - Fact.

A rear ARB on its own would induce more (lift-off) oversteer - Fact.

Granted, front & rear 25 mm ARB's would be an improvement on the stock set-up, but if you have to have a front ARB because you run silly drops, then I'd suggest a 22 mm front AND a 25 mm rear, as we all know the Mk4 understeers too much as it is!  ;)  (Or for something more hardcore you could try a 25 mm front & 28 mm rear).  Just my 2p!  :afro:

Meh.  I've got a 25mm at the front, and no rear at all!  Still not managed to source a good rear one yet.

Falkens, sez it all!!

I'm still not 100% convinced the WL 22mm adjustable rear will do the trick.  I would like to find a 25mm Eibach or even a 28mm rear if possible.  But don't want to pay silly prices for essential a piece of steel!
