ive just fitted a hybrid ARB yesterday and its made a hell of a difference....my car is standard apart from this and feels so much better round the bends with far less body roll,car feels like its on rails already and this is just the beginning of my suspension mods.Would defo recommend the hybrid mate.Im waiting on solid rear mounts and roller bearing wishbone bushes for the front too so will keep you posted mate!!


new OEM setup feels like it is on rails ... correctly setup the rear passive steering is simply amazing. sadly most cars 10 years+ have dropped and this affects the rear passive setup. a quick stab on the accelerator pedal and the back flicks round. the only time an OEM system is not so good is on a tight S chicane ... although you can exit well on the first corner that the transfer of weight to opposite lock for the second corner is hardly stressing the rear bushes. with new components any corner any speed comes to mind.


My car is a one woman owner from new and has never seen any abuse its whole life...she pampered it all its life and i must say its as tight as a drum in every respect...feels like a new car to be honest.....As said only mod is ARB and im amazed at well this handles!!...ive come from a highly specced subaru with lots of trick suspension and this feels better than that. Nothing seems to unsettle the car,im thinking of going billy B8/B6 but am thinking do i need it???.....how much better than standard are these???

Mines in a simmilar position to yours. Owned by a geology lecturer before me and only done 60k. Amased by the turn in but always a little worried...

After going for a blat tonight I think some decent tyres are on the agenda. Any good ones particularly for the 6? Tr1's spring to mind.

i was a little nervous before the rear ARB but not anymore,I think,like others that T1r's are overated...there are much better tyres out there and the one that keeps popping up on here are the michelin pilot exalto PE2's.....many say they are the best road tyre you can get for the 6....ive only got crappy pirelli P6000's and impressed with grip levels so looking forward to trying a real tyre lol
