Hi all.

I've been reading about what's best. And I've noticed a lot of guys seem to take the front ARB off.

Would this not make the car unstable?

I'm told you get better turn in with it removed, but not as stable at high speeds. With one fitted it understeers more but is more stable at high speeds.

This can be counter acted by stiffening up the rear and not having it softer on the front.

I never once had any issue with under steer when doing about 30+ track days in mine, unless I was driving like a compots moron.

Preferred mine off on the corsa, but I use an uprated one on the mini.
Just feels soo much more stable in corners.

without combined with an upper strut brace (front and both an uprated RARB (whiteline or cav) and rear strut brace its pretty good combo
