Right, today im fittkng them. What settings shouod I use, I have 2 positions on the front and 3 on the back. I want to feel a difference but dont want to make it too unstable. Any advice greatly appreciated thanks.

Use the middle setting on the rear and the softest on the front. I can't remember which is the softest without looking at them. Then you can adjust to suit. Give the bushes a coating of grease before installation.

Who did you use to get these Tom? No matter the setting you can always change it:)

Settings are described in the Stillen installation guide:

I got them from z1.

 

I have the rear arb off just put my bushings together and stuff going to offer the new one up.

I will feel a difference on middle back and soft front you reckon?

Some pics,

 

 

There we are, thanks again, my thought are in the what did you do to your zed thread but basically, really hard to feel a difference! But I will see how they are over more than 15 miles.

Tom, I set mine up as per instructions (middle back, soft front). Have you fitted the front arb?

 

Update - I see from your other post that you have fitted the front arb. What difference were you

looking for? I found that body roll was significantly reduced on cornering.

Yeah did both with the same settings as you all seemed to go on as it should, did everything up tight, no clonks no squeaks. Am I being numb and failing to notice the massive difference?

I think the standard setup gives you a starting (as same as before) handling point, albeit with reduced body

roll. You can use ARBs to change the degree of understeer and oversteer by changing the settings. If I used

the car on the track then I would experiment with different settings, but I don't so I haven't.

It is (and was before) the most sure footed sturdy car I have ever had. I thought it may have been a bit flatter but assumed that was psychosomatic, and thought it was easier to get real thrust out of corners like it had a bit more rear traction. Don't see why it would but I didn't think it was just the dry.

 

It probably reduces bump steer or those other race car handling things that people who know what they're talking about, talk about :wacko: You probably feel the benefits when youre hammering a bit more than I was.

 

Either which way, I really enjoyed a day on my back, thank you for the advice I hope my next post isn't "I put it on hard and reversed up a tree!"

I have the same Stillen ARB with the standard middle back, soft front setup and found it made a fairly substantial improvement.

By the way, you're a brave man with your robin reliant style axle standage!

Haha the things you take a step back and look at after 2 hours underneath :hang:

 

Perhaps I'm being thick, the roads werent exactly the lotus test track, I put most of the difference down to it being dry, it felt really stable. And I didn't roll over...

Any more reviews on these tom? these are one thing yet to be bought on my build. i even powder coated the 16-17mm thick rear arb and then saw it done and thought why on earth did i do that...

Haven't driven it again I am afraid, work has been bonkers. Ill drop you a line when I do though.

Cheers buddy work has been manic on sentry too -_-
