what suspension do you have?

On my Corsa B xe I had FK coilovers and when I took the Farb off it felt much better

All personal opinion

IMO nova's handle crap without a ARB, iv had a XE and smallblocks and always prefer one fitted

There are equal arguments for and against, depending on how hard you intend to drive a lot swear by not having one as it allows more flex in the front end and therefore in theory the tyres keep more surface area on the road during hard cornering, and with one it can/could cause the front end to skip and bounce round a corner and throw you off your driving line, ultimately for you and your driving style it needs to be your choice over what feels right for you, so get one, fit it for a bit, then take it off and see what you think (although id like to hope your testbed will be a proper track somewhere :p)

Just out of interest, would a LSD work better with or without a front ARB?
