Which ARB to go for????
 
I have a 2003 sti which is only used for the track, very rarely taken on the roads and if it is the ride quality is not an issue, track work is the aim of the game.

The car is modded, but so far the only suspension mods are Tein flex coilovers and Strut Braces.

I run with semi slicks/r888/rally slicks etc.. or T1r's in the wet.

I'm looking to change the oem ARB's either together or back first then front.

I'm guessing 24mm (x-heavy duty) are the ones to go for, Is that right?

But is there need for an adjustable one if the car is just a track set up, I guess you can make the adjustable one stiffer again.

Wire droplinks V Ally links :wonder:

Which should be thicker, front or back of same :wonder:

Any help is appreciated :thumb:

For my Classic I was advised to go 24mm adjustable rear 22mm front, which needn't be adjustable.

I personally don't like the wire droplinks.

Always bigger on the back or you'll have loads of understeer.

I'm sure someone with a new age car will be along in a bit to advise you on whats best.

Yeah the general thing I've read is to go with a thicker rear one, but then the odd thread pops up suggesting a thicker front :confused:

Why can't there be one simple answer :brickwall. :lol1:

22mm front (non adjustable or adjustable is ok)
24mm rear (adjustable definitely to reduce undertseer or calm oversteer)

Whiteline are good value for money.

This is my opinion only.

I think i've decided on the 24mm rear adjustable, still not sure about the front though, might give a few suppliers a ring tomorrow, hope they dont just try to sell me the most expensive :lol1:

I put 24 adjustable on rear then went for drive And it was brilliant , then put 22 adjust on front and that cancelled the back out until i adjusted them and then it became good again
