andy 0 Posted April 22, 2004 Report Share Posted April 22, 2004 Hi, Just getting round to fitting konis/eibachs. I wondering whether I should uprate the ARB at the same time. What does an uprated ARB change about the driving characteristics.Recomendations please! Link to post Share on other sites
nickbee 1 Posted April 22, 2004 Report Share Posted April 22, 2004 Defintely definitely definitely deifintely. They make turn-in and steering much easier, and more predictable and accurate. Fitted them two months ago and cannot recommend them more highly. Link to post Share on other sites
speedo 0 Posted April 26, 2004 Report Share Posted April 26, 2004 ooooh yes.. There probably make more of a difference than the shox... Link to post Share on other sites
andy 0 Posted April 27, 2004 Author Report Share Posted April 27, 2004 I realise that I will need to get suspension alligned etc after fitting shocks/springs. Will I be able to fit an ARB at a later date without reallignment being necessary? Link to post Share on other sites

mina 0 Posted April 27, 2004 Report Share Posted April 27, 2004 ARB's will transform the handling - just watch out for the back end in the wet if you're really giving it some and have no option but to lift off!!! Link to post Share on other sites
alivr6 0 Posted April 27, 2004 Report Share Posted April 27, 2004 ok peeps im confused but il be brave and ask.... &| whats an arb!!!! Link to post Share on other sites
dubloke 4 Posted April 27, 2004 Report Share Posted April 27, 2004 anti-roll bar! you have them front and rear, to stop body roll! if thats not stating the obvious! Link to post Share on other sites
mina 0 Posted April 27, 2004 Report Share Posted April 27, 2004 VR's have them as standard - but you can replace them with uprated and stiffer ones to reduce body roll. At the same time you can change a car's handling by tweaking the stiffness between front and rear. On a VR you run a stiffer rear bar to reduce understeer. Link to post Share on other sites
alivr6 0 Posted April 28, 2004 Report Share Posted April 28, 2004 gwon boys...i knew that just didn't know the abbreviated term!!! he he he.so what be the best ones to upgrade to....i know neuspeed do them? Link to post Share on other sites
andy 0 Posted April 28, 2004 Author Report Share Posted April 28, 2004 eibach do them as well. neuspeed are about half the price though, not sure which is best...anyone? Link to post Share on other sites
dubloke 4 Posted April 28, 2004 Report Share Posted April 28, 2004 think you'll find ,actually, that neuspeed ones are more expesive as they make adjustable/different thickness bars for the vr, supposed to be better quality than eibach to, if thats possible! Link to post Share on other sites
