j-16 1 Posted December 18, 2006 (edited) Hi, my 20516v currently runs (well once I've finished fitting it all): Eagle F1s New 205 wishbones New drop links New Track rod ends VGC standard 205 rear beam - 1 spline Group N front mounts Group A rear mounts Gaz Coilovers 10" 200llb I've just bought a 309 front ARB which i've now read may induce understear but will I be able to compensate for this by adjusting the coilovers (ie harder at the back and a little softer at the front) or should I just stick with the 205 ARB until I can afford the 309 rear ARB too? Any advice would be great James Edited December 18, 2006 by j-16 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
jackherer 543 Posted December 18, 2006 Personally I'd wait until you have a thicker rear ARB but its an easy part to swap so you could always give it a go and swap it back if you don't like it. Thats what I ended up doing but I have a 309 rear beam now so I am going to put the 309 front bar back soon. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Miles 331 1 Cars Posted December 19, 2006 It's a personal thing, Some people like it other's don't so give it a try, even a few years ago some people disconected the front ARB completly. But uprated bar's and rear ARB (309 one doesn't fit 205 beam) is a good upgrade. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
cybernck 400 1 Cars Posted December 19, 2006 i also like the front 309 ARB mod, providing 309 rear beam and 309 wishbones are also fitted. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
j-16 1 Posted December 19, 2006 Cheers Guys I think I'll give it a go, like you say i can easily swap back. Now you mention it Miles I remember people disconnecting their roll bars now, i guess to increase oversteer? "But uprated bar's and rear ARB (309 one doesn't fit 205 beam) is a good upgrade" Do you mean the 309 rear anti roll bar doesn't fit the 205 beam?!! Oh damn I guess it's too long isn't it, and that also applies to the torsion bars?! Thanks again Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

jackherer 543 Posted December 19, 2006 you could get a base model 309 cross tube and use that along with your 205 trailing arms and 309 bars to make a 309 GTI spec beam. I read your original post as 'beam' not 'arb' for some reason... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
