got down to the vauxhall brakers the other and bought my self a cav rear arb, fitted it last night, and it seems to have stiffened up the car nicely, even getting some oversteer, so a great cheap mod i would recommend to anyone

Got mine off an basic model and its 19mm i think. There was three cavs down there and they all had them. Ill keep my front arb as i do alot of driving on fast windy roads so id rather keep it stable on high speed corners but every ones different. i prefer tbh
