Jabba Rear ARB on a PD100

andy ellis · 27-04-2006, 08:03

Words cannot describe what I think of this! Even with VRS shocks and Eibach springs my PD100 would roll a LOT when pushed. Have only driven the car back from Jabba to South London but the transformation is quite remarkable. The car is much more planted when corning and body roll is significantly reduced. I know my front arb needs doing as well and will be done when the bushes arrive from powerflex. I will right more then.

Careful about how far you go with the front ARB Andy....you don't want to be negating effects of the rear one.

GB on at the moment.

Only 3 more spaces to fill and then you'd have to wait for the next one to come around.

Highly recommended - even if it knocked - as the car is MUCH nicer to drive

My front one done 90k and is ducked! Have got a new skoda one here and the powerflex bushes arrived today. So will ring my spanner monkey tomorrow....

Was going to fit eibach but the cost and the fact it might be too stiff stopped me.

Aye...that was where I was coming from....basically it just negates the rear ARB and your back to understeer city.
