For those who have fitted both front and rear ARBs from Chris, what have you settled on in terms of settings?
I've had mine on a few months now with stiff at the front and softest at the rear. Car feels fine, but I'm doing an open pit day at Cadwell next week. If it's dry I plan on experimenting a bit.

Depends how you like the car to handle.
Stiffer at which ever end gives "less" grip ... at that end.
So for curing under steer soft at front, hard at rear .. will alte the balance towards more front grip / less understeer.
If it's tail happy then as you have it now will keep the rear in line but at expense of more underster .. maybe overall slower corning force / speeds as less grip?
Note :
Based on Whiteline ARBs etc.

Thanks Vulnax, that was my understanding too.
I did a single session at Trax and to be honest I struggled to push the car into understeer at all - mainly due to being crowded by traffic and a bit timid, but the front certainly turns in well despite being on the stiffest setting.
The only fault (other than the brakes which faded) I could finger at the car was that it was leaning/rolling a bit too easily. I've hardened my compression and rebound on my coilovers since and that seems to have improved things on the road - but thought that maybe knocking the rear ARB to medium at least would also help.
Whilst I'm learning how to "drive quickly" I don't think a tail happy car is very wise, so if it feels in any way twitchy after moving to medium I shall return to soft.
