Anyone running uprated ARBs?

  1. Just wondered if anyone that is tracking the car has moved to a thicker front ARB (i think the Trophy R is 24mm, a similar one is available from Superpro) and whether they've also added a rear ARB and what difference they have seen?

    I found it odd that a thicker front ARB would have been fitted by Renault... that would usually promote understeer, so I don't know if the move to the Ohlins has also changed the geo setup somehow so they've reduced roll but not created any more understeer

    Would welcome any experience from others
     
  2. Hello,

    You can find very cheap front ARB from Renault directly if you check the Bay for Scenic, Grand Scenic, Espace, Grand Espace. You can find them every 1mm steps up to 23 or 24 (can't remember exactly).

    Think he wants it for a mk3
     
  4. Looking on the pictures and documents I have available, I can't really see any difference between the Mk2 and Mk3 front ARBs. Unless someone can show some differences, which I'm also interested to see.

  5. This normally facilitates the use of a softer spring in favour of ride comfort, biasing chassis control to the ARB.

  6. Are they a straight fit for the mk2? I have a 22mm fitted at the moment.
     
  7. Yes. You just need to get the brackets/correct bush size with the bar you get.
