So to cancel your under steer are you going to adjust your front ARB to it's softer position as an experiment, or just wait for the super stiff rear to maintain a softer front/stifer rear? (as it were)

are you going to adjust your front ARB to it's softer position as an experiment,

Did that a while ago Adam - experiment lasted less than a week before I put the front ARB back on the stiff setting (just felt too wallowy at the front on soft setting) .... it's all in a previous thread somewhere...

So .... with front set to stiff, and rear set to "super" stiff then I reckon I'll get rid of the excess understeer while still maintaining my stiff front end (ooooo-errrrrr!) ..... super stiff rear ARB is VERY GOOD! (I've driven a car with this mod and it is much more precise than the norm)

Going to wait for super-stiff mod!

(Masonic handshake) Hello Jules, yes it has to be said that an uber stiff rear anti-roll bar allied to a fairly stiff front bar makes for a more neutral handling experience.

I too have driven an S4 with a similar setup, it was a revelation!

Just watched this video of Tiff's assessment of the B5 RS4, makes interesting viewing . . .
