Don't do it, it'll wallow around like a pig, and be more prone to oversteer

A mates is low and he has no arb ad it's fine, it's centre of gravity is so low you won't need it.

The car was designed with an ARB for a reason. I wouldn't go messing with that sh!t...handles bad enough as it is!  :laugh:

When you lower it that low you actually raise the roll centre which is the point the car rotates around so you would roll more. The wishbones need to be horizontal for the least roll.
