Hi. Any particular reason for a 22mm one, why not get a 24mm one ?

Might as well just get the JDM ARB as that's 22mm isn't it?

Might as well keep the OEM.

Any difference noticed will be placebo.

Heard the 24mm induces a little more understeer, any truth in this? And thought the 22mm would be a good compromise between oem ukdm and the 24mm

A stiffer rear arb will make the car more tail happy.

Scaffolding and Areldite IMO.

I don't think so. I went from the standard 19mm to the 22mm JDM and the difference was very noticeable. The bigger the rear ARB, less understeer.

Thanks big al, did hear they reduce lift of oversteer quite a bit, think I will go for the 22mm progress me thinks,

save your money and go for the JDM if your going for 22mm mate

A softer rear ARB would reduce lift off oversteer in general, a thicker one will make the rear more active, hence creating less understeer.

Presumably this is after lots of track days rather than normal road driving?

Zero need for a different ARB unless you're a track fiend.
