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

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
