Whiteline Anti Roll Bars on MY01>
I know quite a few people have fitted rear ARB's to their 01's etc etc but is it worth doing the front ARB at the same time?
Has anybody got front and rear whiteline ARB's fitted to their 01/02??
Can't quite decide whether to replace just the rear or to do the front as well?
An adjustable rear ARB is the way to go I think but does the front need to be adjustable too assuming it's worth fitting it in the first place?
Thanks in advance...

Nick,
It's all about balancing the stiffness of the bars. An adjustable rear ARB just gives you the flexibility to start with a stiff rear (oh er) and leaving the OE front. Then at a later date you can upgrade the front and stiffen the rear a little more.
IIRC, the Whiteline on the middle setting acts as a 22mm bar. This works well with the 19mm (possible 20mm) front ARB. If you want more (and we all do), then a 22mm front bar with the rear set to maximim (24mm) will be a fantastic improvement.
It's not really necessary to get adjustable ones if you decide to replace both from the outset. A fixed 22mm front and 24mm rear will do the job. Having them both adjustable would just allow you to tone up (or down) depending on how you like the car to handle.
I'm having a front ARB fitted soon to my RB5 (already have rear ARB and drop links)
I'd say go for it
