    i did massive miles on 165/70r13 tyres & no arb's in the olden days, and cornering was never an issue simply cos it was how it was. the body roll was a good measure of cornering speed, but i prefer to have an arb

    If it is lowered etc with a good engine, I would rather with a arb, sharpens it up for fast cornering. If it is a soft suspension and comfort you are after, remove the arb.

    comfort isnt (or shouldnt) be effected either way... its merely an attempt (allbeit not very well designed) to control roll

    I run without on my rally car in back to back testing with my setup over a rally test track (not race track) the car was a few seconds fast and seamed to have less under steer, BUT it is all down to what dampers and springs ect you have fitted to your car. if standard or close to standard I would use a front ARB,
