Im no expert and I have limited experience with actually trying different suspension setups, but this is how I’d explain it. The total stiffness of the ARBs in the car isn’t as important as the relative ratio of stiffness between front and rear ARBs. ARBs are a tool to fine tune the understeer/oversteer characteristics. Remember that ARBs reduce body roll, helping keep the tires in an appropriate camber window/range, BUT ALSO reduce grip at the axle which they’re installed because they put additional force on the outside tire. That’s how they reduce the vehicle’s roll. Therefore, adding just a stiffer rear ARB to your current setup will increase oversteer compared to how your car drives without the stiffer rear ARB. This may make the car easier to rotate, or suit your driving preferences, or instead make it uncontrollably loose in the rear. Long story short, ARBs are tuning tools. If you like how it feels with the stiffer rear ARB, keep it on! Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
