Re: Front ARB`S

Front ARB will this help to stiffen up the suspension and make the handling a bit better

Re: Front ARB`S

I think you will find that all Octavias have front ARB's as standard.

If you search on here you should find information regarding upgrading the bushes and/or the diameter of the ARB.

However, this is only the starting point with regard to better handling.

Again, if you do a search, you will find plenty of threads about better handling/suspension.

Re: Front ARB`S

A bigger ARB will make the attitude of the car better, but you will suffer with understeer as a result. Best to get a Eibach rear ARB from jabba [£150] and this will transform the handling and front end grip - leave the front one alone I would

Re: Front ARB`S

Also, is your Octavia a VRS or Elegance?
