Nope, otherway round.  Simple laws of physics.

Sorry, but that is pure BS.

Go and tighten some wheel bolts with a windy gun on max setting.  Then get a 30" breaker bar, and stand on the end tightening them further.  Now get the weedy short wheelbrace out the boot and try undoing said wheel bolt.

(i could be wrong but that would mean all the setup work on race cars and running my own race cars for the last god knows how many years has been completely wrong!)  :happy2:

Best I avoid Jabbasport then.

I suggest everyone reads some proper automotive enginneering text books, then do the same with some elementary GCSE Physics text books.  Or e-mail those geeks at Bang Goes the Theory.  They'll prove you all wrong.

well thats it everybody, TT has spoken and as always everyone else is all wrong and he is right. 

even eibach, the people who make ARBs haven't even managed to get it right.

^^^ Exactly, looks like the German's don't agree T_T.

Taken from the Eibach installation guide for the Mk5 Anti Roll Bars

Verstellmöglichkeit: Harte Stabilisatorrate ; Hintere Bohrung von den Stabilisatorenden benutzen
Weiche Stabilisatorrate; Vordere Bohrung von den Stabilisatorenden benutzen

=

Adjustability: Hard stabilizer use rate; rear hole of the stabilizer ends
Soft stabilizer use rate; Front hole of the stabilizer ends

So guys, whats the overall verdict on this then as im fitting them next week. Are we going wih inner holes for a stiffer setting and outer for softer?
