Think the group buy that V-Sport did had the 27mm front ARB, so there should be a few people with them on here.

bigger ones for front and back. Back one makes a massive difference

i run both, Front and rear are the larger ones. Never really had a problem but i have been told to run NO ARB on the front as it "handles much better".
I just cannot be arsed to take it of and try.

with no front ARB fitted it will turn in better and understeer a bit less, but you will comprimise high speed stability.

How high is high speed? 60-70 high speed or flat out in fifth high speed?

IMO you can notice it 60+
personally i prefer to have a front one fitted, but others may prefer not. depends on your driving style, other suspension components e.t.c. I think the standard ARB found on sports and GSi's is a good comprimise if you dont wanna spend £100 on a whiteline one (Although you might want to renew the bushes for some firmer ones if u keep the standard item). But its deffo worth splashing out on a rear one.

I have had the thicker and thinner versions, thicker is best on the back, I loved the thick front one when it was fitted but now its off I prefer it without it.
it made my steering very heavy on the front (no pas and a homemade brew steering setup) but car was a lot flatter through the corners with it on and more stable at higher speeds. was a lot more understeer though, might try the smaller front one and see how that behaves.
its also a LOT less stable under braking without it
