think you would have to get one made to fit mate, seen the odd c20let corsa with strut but not many, you could also put polybush's on your car and go for coilovers to make it better i suppose.

I have a LET B on spax coilovers atm with the standard lowered front arb. Just purchased a whiteline rear arb from balance motorsport and got some polyrace bushes from rally design on their way. As i'm going to change the gearbox to an F28 i'm going to sitck a Quaife LSD in there too.
Was going to buy the whiteline front but heard that the difference isnt noticable.

I take it you're talking a front arb? If so you can get a front arb then you'd need the spacers to lower it down to avoid the manifold (you'd need the spacers to keep the standard front anyway). Whether it's worth it tho I coudn't say, a lot of people recommend removing the front arb, I've done that and after going on track the other week and using it on the road for a month or so, I think I prefer it without although it's made a very big difference in that I've not experienced any understeer since removing it but I did have a couple of slightly sideways moments on track, nothing major and once I get used to it I'm sure it'll be better for track driving but keeping the arb on keeps it more of a safe and steady understeer which if it's just a road car, it'll probably be more suited too.
I've never experienced a Whiteline front so what difference that would make I really don't know. Iirc tho Adam_B used to have one on his Corsa so it may be worth a u2u in his direction

Your first priority would be a decent set of coilovers instead of Gmaxx and then have it properly set up on corner scales. Then I'd be getting it 4 wheel aligned. That will do more than an antiroll bar tbh.
I would rather lose by a mile because i built my own car, than win by an inch because someone else built it for me.

cant get the arse end aligned though as its on a beam unless im missing something.
id get a front arb on somehow. even a set of adjustable spax (shocks/springs) will do. gmax is such a crap company, id never fit anything of thiers if i got the parts for free.

putting the front arb on without uprating the rear will instill a bit of understeer though. i've taken mine off and the turn-in response is unbelievable!
I would only put the thinner standard one back on the front if i had a whiteline rear and i was on a circuit with alot of quick bends (Thruxton for example)....to give it some stability at speed. But for mose track and road usage, leave it off!

To be honest its down to personal preference. I have no front ARB and have a whiteline rear ARB too on my LET and I love the way it handles.
