I was just wondering about peoples different setups as it would be interesting to compare! Heres a couple of questions:

1. Have you removed your anti roll bar or left it on?

2. What suspension have you got?

3. What exhaust system do you have?

4. What air filter / induction kit do you use?

5. What Wheels?

My answers:

1. Removed
2. Spax RSX Coilover Kit (lowered bout 50mm roughly)
3. welded old corsa bits and cally manifold together lol
4. Green cone filter (borrowed - need to buy summit)
5. Standard GSI wheels at the moment (may get some 15's)

IMO the front antiroll bar causes more understeer (if its too thick/stiff)

I have a GSi antiroll bar, lowered to clear manifold

Im running AVO coilovers

I have a Green induction kit

I hate 15x7" et 49 TeamDynamics ProRace1's

hey Buzz.. looks like you and me are the only ones who left the ARB off.. what was your reason?

AFAIK the ARB actually induces understear rather than create it!!

My mate with a 1.6 nova with TB's fitted coilovers etc... and when taking corners fast his inside wheel was leaving the floor due to the ARB. He took the ARB off and now his car handles better anc can take corners much faster so he advised me to do the same.

I have had absolutely no problems driving without it on and it sticks to the floor really well even in the wet! Its probably only a good idea with coilovers tho....

maybe some of you guys should try it and see what u tink of the difference?

heres an interesting read for you

http://64.246.63.158/forums/viewtopic.php?t=66911

Its for a nova but i guess principles apply for a corsa? summary of this post:

Right here you are then the definitive answer for a Nova ( maybe? lol)

Remove your ARB if:

1. You drive mainly smooth surfaces and like going on circuits
2. You like responsive steering and a front end thats grippy
3. You have uprated the spring and damper ratings
4. You dont want understeer and are happy to be able to induce a bit of oversteer - you enjoy the lively feel
5. You are running very good grippy tyres - Yoko's, Toyos etc
6. You like driving and cornering hard and fast.
7. You have put a valver in - you will be getting plenty understeer anyways

Leave it on if:

1. You like stability and no suprises in your steering feedback.
2. You'd prefer to have understeer as its safer
3. You dont like cornering too hard.
4. You drive rough bumpy surfaces
5. You rally
6. You run budget tyres and your suspension is fairly soft
