Q re Whiteline ARBs
Have had a Whiteline ARB on my 01 WRX for 6 months. When I first got it, stuck it in the middle setting and reckoned it was a good addition to my Prodrive springs.
Adjusted it to the stiffest setting at the weekend - much sharper steering/ turn in, but at the expense of a pretty stiff ride (I now know which of the local roads are smooth LOL !).
So my question is this - could I have one side of the ARB on the stiffest (3rd) setting but the other on side on the middle setting - would this "unbalance" the suspension or do you reckon it should be ok ?
Any thoughts welcome !

Keep it even on both sides

The change in roll bar spring rate will not stiffen the car, but might make it a bit 'jiggly' instead unless the bushes are getting tight.
I personally do not like different positions , prefer the 'even/symetrical' way.

Might go for both sides on the same adjustment if no-one has found that this works - I'm not planning on competing in Nascar this month !
