Question Setting up my roll bars

What would happen if i were to change the settings on my Adjustable Roll Bars? front and rear?

I was told it has three settings, and at the moment its in the middle...what would happen if i change this to the hardest setting?

Also how easy is it to do?

Move the rear to the middle setting to start with. Will give the front more grip by slightly destabilising the rear. Easy to do.

Simply you will "overload" the outside wheel sooner and get more oversteer !

Good if you are as old as me and grew up with RWD !

Can be harsh over bumps, on track mine just edges into oversteer on the exit as the torque really hits.

I don't drive that hard on the road anymore....

Dead easy to do, two spanners and a dry day, or in the garage and jobs a good 'un. Another tweek is to only stiffen one side, as the ARB is a dumb device, and doesn't know what you've done, so you end up with another "middle" setting that's slightly stiffer.

Front bar (two settings) stiffened "may" induce understeer in low grip situations, in a shower on-track, mine just wouldn't turn-in to tighter corners, but again I don't drive like that on the road !
