Struggling to find anyone with a Whiteline 22mm adjustable rear ARB at the moment - scoobyparts, demon tweeks, balance Motorsport are all out of stock for at least 6 weeks. Can anyone suggest any other places to check? Or an alternative ARB? I would opt for the 24mm which is in stock but I don't have the spare funds to upgrade the front at the same time right now.

 

Set the 24mm on the softest setting and you'll be grand.

 

Really? I've been told that just changing to a 24mm rear will make the car handle like sh*t if the front is standard?

 

As far as I'm concerned it does not and there's a lot that agree I have both here and took the 22mm back off the front as it was a bit skittish on the front due to our pathetic roads. My 24mm rear is on the middle setting and I find it spot on. You can go too stiff all round and the car ends up like a go kart with no suspension travel due to everything being connected.

 

hmm okay then, now I'm intrigued. What other suspension mods do you have?

 

I'm running 22mm on the front and 24mm on the back whiteline of course with fully adjustable hard race rear kit with whiteline front droplinks and car handles like it should have in the first place and is set up for fast road use and it's on a classic give Alyn at asperformance a phone he will give you a good deal on the bits you need on a classic or newage bud .

 

First, sta bar bushes and end links, ball joints and suspension bushes (rubber in rotation, poly in compression).
Alignment
tyres
whiteline kca335 front top mounts/stock rear top mounts.
Matched dampers, springs and bump stops

If funds are tight, and you just want to see the difference a rear roll bar can make to handling, get a 20mm adjustable - aftermarket bars are, proportionally, way stiffer than oem.
P1 lapped mira at157mph - bars:19mm front 20mm rear - no big bars required on a road car, particularly if you use a lot of b-roads.

What model car have you got anyway?

Don't know if they've got stock?
