Geometry is absolute key, it is the glue that holds all your mods together.

After I had mine tweaked to a more track/fast road set up it completely changed the car. Turn in improved greatly as the tail was much easier to bring into play and traction improved to the point where I don't actually miss not having a diff.

It's lively, but I wouldn't think twice about letting the missus take it out.
Sideways yo!

my eibachs were initially set on stiff front and rear. I then changed the front one to the softer setting and the turn in was improved

Chris did made a note of this and said the rear ARB link would perform much better at a more vertical angle.


....Is that link ^ how it now is or how it was, Neil?

Mine is set on the other hole (harder) to your pic above.

:happy2:


That is actually the hardest setting on the rear ARB.  My Whiteline ARBs have three holes, but I can't actually remember how much they cant over the drop link  :ashamed:  Anyway, 'softer' is always closer to the pivot point of the ARB.


Great post Neil, btw!  :happy2:

    Hello golf fans,
                       Noticed this post and thought i'd pop in to say that actually red robin is correct in this instance. With an adjustable arb, softest setting is always at the END of the bar. I enjoy looking at this forum, some great cars and posts here.

                               All the best, tommy.
