Bodyboarder81 Posted July 20, 2015 Share Posted July 20, 2015 Hi all , just wondered if anyone is running their arb on the hardest setting and if so how are they finding it ? Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dynamic Turtle Posted July 20, 2015 Share Posted July 20, 2015 Had whitelines on my 350 front and back. On the hardest setting there was a frankly dangerous lack of grip, on the softest it was enough to make driving at 50mph a lot of fun. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have heard that on the hardest settings it's just to stiff for the road ..... But just wanted to actually know if anyone had tried / done it .

ZMANALEX Posted July 20, 2015 Share Posted July 20, 2015 I run my Eibachs on the 350 Roadster on the hardest setting and it is well planted. You really do have to suck and see, however I always advise peeps to start with the middle setting for road use. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scobie140 Posted July 20, 2015 Share Posted July 20, 2015 I have the whiteline arb's front and back on the stiffest setting, massive improvement. I'd imagine if you tracked the car the difference would be even more noticeable 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also I'm on tein springs / bilstein dampers ..... Do you think I require adjustable links ?

Bodyboarder81 Posted July 21, 2015 Author Share Posted July 21, 2015 Thanks Alex for those useful links . I'm might just try to setting my front to the harder setting then to aid turn in and leave the back in the middle .... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

After that new arms are needed from all my readings . 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nissanman312 Posted July 21, 2015 Share Posted July 21, 2015 I don't want to go drastically lower if atall just want beter handling Is that possible without day 10 15mm drop 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bodyboarder81 Posted July 21, 2015 Author Share Posted July 21, 2015 As you know I'm running tein springs ( about 15-20mm drop ) and bilstein damper ... Really good set up for the road ...probably to soft for track .... But that's why I want to play with the arb settings to reduce the lean in the corner and initial turn in . I'm with in factory Alighnment settings with this setup , so no camber arms needed . .......I will await Adrian's comments about his coilovers .... Just not worth it for me Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ZMANALEX Posted July 21, 2015 Share Posted July 21, 2015 If you run Tein springs then you should not require additional correction arms, however fitting Eibach and you will be borderline which can become quite expensive for decent stuff. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nissanman312 Posted July 21, 2015 Share Posted July 21, 2015 If you run Tein springs then you should not require additional correction arms, however fitting Eibach and you will be borderline which can become quite expensive for decent stuff. so could you fit coils and get away with it ? or would you stick with springs ? like i say im only after minimal drop its better handling id be doing for rather than looks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ZMANALEX Posted July 21, 2015 Share Posted July 21, 2015 (edited) Providing you choose your coils carefully and you do not have a big drop then all will be well. However some coils have a minimum drop which will take you out of the comfort zone.. Edited July 29, 2015 by ZMANALEX 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CJRamze Posted August 3, 2015 Share Posted August 3, 2015 I'm about to have some Eibachs fitted tomorrow, Are we saying front full stiff back full soft? I would of thought if anything Front full stiff, back mid stiff? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bodyboarder81 Posted August 4, 2015 Author Share Posted August 4, 2015 Think most do soft front / middle back .' Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm with in factory Alighnment settings with this setup As you know, we're running the same set up, although I have the front driftwork's upper camber arms but also currently set to factory alignment settings. I'm due to go back to Wheels in Motion to have the geo adjusted for my needs which, similar to you is to have sharper turn in, a little less roll would be nice but I've not tried playing with the Eibach bars yet (it's set as Adrian has posted). 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bodyboarder81 Posted August 4, 2015 Author Share Posted August 4, 2015 I might well be going for some coilover soon now ! Not had a chance to play around with my Arb set up , just have them set up as Adrian's picture . Just got used to it now and want even less roll now !!

The guys in the States like the linear Swift R ones, which Adrian can supply (naturally ), As I find it's the small bit of progression which is possibly the lean in the Teins.
