Just after opinions / experience really.
Currently the corsa has a Combo ARB up front - 26mm iirc? - with standard rubbers.
Been thinking lately, would a standard, thinner, sport ARB with uprated rubbers give much difference?

But at higher speeds would that not become unstable?

Personal opinion really.

But its not a case of with or without.
Its a case of would a thinner one with uprated rubbers show any difference to a thicker one on standard rubbers.
TBF thats probably splitting hairs though...

Ive tried the combo arb and the standard 1.2 16v sxi arb with standard rubbers on both, i prefer the standard arb plus it clears the down pipe without the need for spacers! Using Bilstien b16 kit on it, camber bolts to. Its your car so try both and go for what you find best!

I run no front arb on my nova and at high speed the car did feel a bit unsafe, but I just fitted some 500LB springs and the difference they've made is UNREAL, at high speeds I can take corners much much faster and without feeling like I'm going to die!
