ARB question

[Willie]

The Neuspeed bar I would say didn't feel hollow, it weighed a ton
This was the 28 mm bar so would presume that the 25 mm bar is solid too, but just a bit thinner

 

[speedsix]

The neuspeed bars are bloody hefty things, weighed an absolute ton.

 

[WeeJase]

might be worth adding,that the R32 mk4 shape front ARB has been used with success on LC.

For the people who have different anti roll bars on ther cars, do you have to change the way you drive? i know you have to get used to the way the car handles again but is there any do's and don't when you have them fitted?

 

[Willie]

Do drive into corners faster and with more control.
Don't back off when following a 4 wheels drive car into a corner

 

[UncleFester]

I found the adjustment easy, the car turns in a lot sharper and feels a lot more planted on the road .... just take it easy until you're used to the change. Once you're used to the difference in handling, you just drive it and enjoy the loss of terminal understeer and a floppy r ear end

I think it's a bit of getting to know your cars limits again, I found a desserted roundabout on an industrial estate (plenty of run off and nobody about) and played with underteer and lift off oversteer.

What I found was a car that was easy to control, less understeer and easily catchable oversteer.

We are all making tweaks and changes to the suspension and I guess all the cars will handle differently as a result.......that said the changes all seem to be positive.

really interesting thread people. enjoyed reading everyones opinions, just wondering what to buy myself now. Ive got Koni FSD's with Eibach springs to fit as soon as i can get the time so think il go for the eibach's or H+R's when i get some cash (thinking 25 front and rear). i cant afford to be spending near 500 notes on neuspeed ones. Dont suppose anyone has the setup im looking at and can give a thumbs up or down to it. cheers

 

[UncleFester]

Eibach springs and Eibach Prokit shocks, 25mm Eibach ARB kit. Can't speak for the FSD shocks as haven't tried them, but very happy with what i have.

 

[dainott2105]

cool, cheers mate, cant be a million miles away from yours and if your happy with the setup then im happy.
controllable oversteer id be happy with. uncontrollable understeer i dont want!

 

[UncleFester]

It's a lot more civilised on corners, there is definitely more feel and feedback and things just feel that bit more connected. Roundabouts are a hoot that's for sure, ok it will still understeer if you're stupid with the throttle or entrance speed, get the braking done before the corner and power out of the corner it feels like a different car.

Oversteer is there if you have the space to play with it, if you're not hooning around, it feels more neutral than it did before which i think is a good thing.

Get someone who's had the work done to take you for a spin - think you'll be sold

Couldnt of put it better myself tbh.

Everyone who i have taken since the ARBS have been blown away. I had a little spat with an ST, one roundabout later and I was gone...i dont think he could quite believe it.

 

[dainott2105]

right im sold, again lol. all i need now is a balaclava and somewhere or someone i dont like with £276 and im there
p.s. hoping that i can get £40 a corner for my standard 40k mile suspension on fleabay. what u reckon folks? or am i dreaming?

 

[Cupraloon]

£40 per corner.... nah doubt it matey £40 the lot perhaps,

but i hope i'm wrong..

 

[dainott2105]

just thinking that if someone who aint got arbs decides to go sideways into a curb then by me selling them seperate might get a bit more for them. wishful thinking i know though but worth a try.

 

[Cupraloon]

Always worth a try matey, ebay's a difficult place to sell stuff I've found, cos people always want something or nothing (at least when i'm selling it they seem to)

 

[dainott2105]

yea know what u mean, but did sell a seat flip key that i paid £15 for for £43 on there the other day cos i added a good set of instructions. couldnt believe it, was just hoping to get my £15 back. anyway SORRY folks im clogging up the ARB thread so il shut up now and come back when the koni FSD/Eibach springs are on. Then when the cash appears the ARBS are on. Cheers cupraloon

 

[ADAM_84]

Thankyou for all of your replys you've been a great help in making me want to spend more money on my car lol. Just got to decide which ones to go for now, the neuspeed ones seems pretty expensive and i can't see what the difference would be between them and say H&R or eibach apart from the size.
