ARB for VRS - brilliant !

Jules59 · 11-07-2006, 00:11

Just fitted a Jabbasport ARB to my VRS. Really easy to fit - took less than 1 hour. Remarkable improvement in handling and cornering. Makes the car even more enjoyable to drive. Excellent value for money. - highly recommended. Very chuffed I am.

So....... Are you happy with it?

Jules59 · 11-07-2006, 01:19

whatever gave you that idea.

I am thinking of buying a rear ARB. Are you using the standard springs or on Eibachs?
Also, I would love to find a company who would make uprated yet standard ride height springs. I think the car looks good as it is, just needs the ride firming up a bit!

I think the rear ARB would make a dramatic differance to a standard suspension car.

I had the discussion with Nick at Jabba a few weeks ago and he couldn't recall seeing one but agreed it would be interesting.

all,

I've got standard suspension with the Jabba ARB fitted, it does really make a big difference. Nick should remember, the guys fitted it only about 6 weeks ago...

To be fair it was probably a little over 6 weeks ago I spoke to Nick.

Would be interesting to find out how it handled as I reckon most who have it fitted had/have Eibachs and/or coilovers fitted as well.

It should reduce body roll a fair bit, how are you finding the nose diving, has that altered at all?

I'm on standard suspension with the ARB, corners are a joy but the nose diving is still there

.

Just hoping that jump in handling is there again when the Eibachs go on. The ARB really was amazing!

I had my rear ARB fitted in February. It was the first they had done on a standard suspension vRS, or so they said.
And it transforms the car ... but you all knew that anyway didn't you ...
