Whiteline arbs - front, rear or both?

Post by mammoo »

I was planning to get a matching set of front and rear whiteline arbs for my track-only rev 2 turbo. At a recent track day I had some tuition from an instructor and he recommended I just get a front one and leave the rear as standard. He said this way the car would be firm enough at the front to reduce roll and help with turn in but the back would stay flexible enough to keep both wheels on the ground for good traction.

Anyone have any thoughts on this or experience of running just fronts and/or both? It's purely for track driving.

I'd say get both tbh then you can adjust them to how you want it. It may depend on your driving style and the rest of your suspension setup.

I've got trd 22mm allround and I could do with a softer front bar for a bit less understeer on slow corners.

These cars do definitely benifit from stiffer arbs
