I'm getting lots of oversteer at the moment with the new tyres.

So should I get the front or the rear ARB first to help reduce this? Probably getting the Tanabe one.

Front.

I concur with the honourable engineer. You should know this from reading Fred Puhn's book, Mark

When I looked at this a while back, Julian @ Balance pointed me at:

Generally speaking if you just want to buy one bar front wheel drive cars will benefit most from an uprated rear bar and rear wheel drive an uprated front bar.

Sounds like the "engineers" know the technical reasons behind this

Dembo

Thanks for the complement.

Wouldn't you be better off matching the tyres first? If you start trying to correct an imbalance caused by mismatched tyres and do correct it, when you put a balanced set back on your going to have caused yourself a load of understeer.

, but I suspect Mark doesn't want to buy another two tyres just yet.

You'll just have to get the rear ARB at the same time as matched tyres. But in the meantime, having just the front ARB will reduce the overall roll.

Yes, but the cost of the arb is going to be similar to a pair of tyres i'd have thought. The old ones can go into the garage and when the matched set is worn out he could get a set of fronts to match his current rears.

That way the grip balance front to rear would be constant.

If the fronts are that much softer than the rears, they're going to wear out faster too.

The Tanabe front ARB is the price of just one tyre, Rich. However, I did think the same as you when I read Mark's post.

I know what you mean. But I was going to do both ARBs anyway, so I might as well compensate with something I was going to do anyway. IYKWIM.
