Fitted my ASR Subframe brace and Whiteline 25mm Adjustible rear ARB. The subframe brace is required because the subframe on the SiR uses thinner steel than the Type-R, and fitting a thicker ARB can result in the mountings tearing away. The brace also has the added bonus of stiffening the chassis up at that point. It's a VERY nicely made piece of kit, really well machined and it's is made from a very thick guage aluminium.
The ASR, ARB and associated hardware:
Old ARB off, it's basically a piece of dental floss compared to the Whiteline item:
All bolted up, another added bonus, it looks cool
So does it all make a difference? **** me yeah. The car handled really well before, nice and neutral, with easily controllable lift-off oversteer, but I was finding it would give a little hint of understeer in certain situations.
But now there is NO understeer ATALL. It's still largely neutral, but go past the limit and the backend floats out in a beautifully progressive way without having to provoke it by lifting off. It was fun before, now it makes me grin like a lunatic.
Very, very pleased with the results.
I fitted the Mugen stripe too, pics coming up...
