my car is on coilies and sits like so...





now to go any lower on the front i need a whiteline uprated arb, these cost 130 quid ish, and also stiffen the front end promoting understeer.

so do i spend 130 quid spoil the handling and scrape every where and not be able to get on gfs drive to look good or leave as is? opinions?

also it doesnt really look like this anymore, will be washed and pics tomorow :cool:

The true dubbers amongst will say, "if it ain't rubbin, it ain't dubbin"! However, if it were my car, I would leave it as it is :cool:

I'd leave it, but the ARB will improve handling not make it worse  :wink:

the rear arb improves handling, the front counter acts the good work

BARS on CARS - What applies to me and my vehicle?
Whiteline Jim’s simple sway bar guide to better handling:
Front Wheel Drive – increase the rear sway bar size
Rear Wheel Drive – increase the front sway bar size
4 Wheel Drive – increase front then rear bar size
All Wheel Drive – increase rear then front bar size


taken from whitelines website, fitting a uprated rear arb will improve a fwd cars handling, not both

so buy the adjustable bar and have the front on a softer setting than the rear  :wink:
