Much better with a bigger front ARB, feels very vague without... Standard is 21mm, I'm going to run a 25mm one on mine.________________________________________ FOR SALE205 Turbo Technics complete and 306 Rallye Race Build breaking. |

I never run no front arb without suspension alterations, as you say the front end end feels very vague on turn in as standard without one - wanders around a bit on corners too.________________________________________ - Bespoke rollcages/additions/adjustments.

Yeah if your gonna remove the front arb then you need a suspension setup that you can alter to cater for the new caharcteristics  ________________________________________ Just Drive It |

Grip out of corners is loads better, however you need to change the springs and alignment to counteract the rubbish turn in. I didn't have one on mine for a fairly long time, but now started using it again when the ASTs were developed. For everyday use I prefer it with tbh. ________________________________________ Nothing to see here |

I've got a 17mm one people can borrow if they want to try it, but I'll want it back in a couple of months, I haven't finished my adjustable one yet and I'll need it to match my new suspension when it's done ________________________________________ - Bespoke rollcages/additions/adjustments.

I never used to run one on my track 205, but had fairly stiff springs instead (~300l kept the turn in sharp and loads more grip on the exit ________________________________________  Seat Leon Cupra FR / 306 GTI6 / Breaking 205 GTI6 / Caterham 7 / Mercedes Sprinter 311CDI LWB Sold: Fisher Fury - Laguna DCI Estate - P1 306 XSI - E30 BMW 325i Baur Convertible - Daihatsu Fourtack - Suzuki GSXR600 - 205 Rallye |

I did still only have standard 309 bars on the back though, i'd just bought fat ones and new front springs for it but then decided to break it instead. ________________________________________ Seat Leon Cupra FR / 306 GTI6 / Breaking 205 GTI6 / Caterham 7 / Mercedes Sprinter 311CDI LWB Sold: Fisher Fury - Laguna DCI Estate - P1 306 XSI - E30 BMW 325i Baur Convertible - Daihatsu Fourtack - Suzuki GSXR600 - 205 Rallye |

Depends how low the car is and what the damping curve is set at really.High spring rates can make up for poor damping but they're nasty if you're not very low or like taking a bit curb ________________________________________ - Bespoke rollcages/additions/adjustments.

Yep, you find you can't often run the car as soft as you want for the most grip because the driver gets uncomfortable with it.________________________________________ - Bespoke rollcages/additions/adjustments.

205 Bilstein Group N stuff, converted the front struts to run 2.25" springs. It's surprisingly driveable on the road though!________________________________________ FOR SALE205 Turbo Technics complete and 306 Rallye Race Build breaking. |
