I had the rear arb (whiteline) fitted first. Yes it got rid if the understeeryness but made it a little "pointy". Then fitted the front and made it feel really planted, nice and flat through the bends. Had them set to medium on the front and hard on the rear (chuckle)
 This was in conjunction with eibach coilies. IMO the arbs were one of the best handling mods I did, I'd recommend them to anyone

H&R 28mm front & 24mm rear 2 way adjustable, makes such a huge difference, helps minimise body roll & improve handling. :happy2:


Think I will be getting them soon then after these reviews :D

Only lighter wheels and SALK (which I personally don't think did much). Plus get a good fast road alignment done

S.A.L.K is not so much of a handling mod. Anti lift kits is more about getting power down and stopping wheel hop rather than improving cornering or feel. Im sure you agree you can more power down with them on.

With just the rear arb it made the car turn in sharper but imo it didn't feel stable enough. Not oversteery, just not as planted and flat. the front arb sorted this. I had a few people say not to bother with the front as it would create too much understeer, I didn't get this,  just made it nice and neutral
