    Looks great, like that you've used every bit of pad.

    Goes as well as it looks.

    cool as ****.

    you can see the difference in body roll in the two vids. what poundage springs are you using on the front and rear?

    I have a lot of body roll on my nova which has been better since lowering the rear a bit and found that a front ARB helped a lot. im interested to try as you have. thanks for sharing. are you running a front ARB? Id advise you try it. I was surprised to find it an improvement.

    Thanks a lot!

    I'm using 120N/kg (685lbs/inch) on the front and rear. My problem with using a ARB is that my front lower suspension can't support the original ARB, if i wanted to use one i would need to make some custom ARB.
    I don't use an ARB on the rear as well, but i'm quite happy with my suspension setup at the moment, adjusting the dampers to suit the springs can also make considerable difference as i found out, so i will stick to it for a while.

    Cheers Grant

    thats pretty stiff then. im running 600lb rear and 375 front with front and rear gsi ARBs. I have the 8v so slightly lighter up front but not that much. I might have a play around with some stiffer fronts and see what it does. im getting a bit of tramping on the front when i pull out of a bend and the diff is locked so the stiffer springs might help this. Have you ever had this?
