Will ARB's stop scrubbing?

[ian_jobson]

This may be a daft question but how much do ARB's cure roll by? Im running KW varient 1's and on track suffer from the tyre scrubbing the arch ar the front. will uprate ARB's make enough of a difference to keep the arch off the tyre or am i looking at damper adjustable coily's so i can stiffen it up a tad?

(I did search and found nothing specific)

ARB's reduce the cars tendency to roll in the corners at speed. If your wheels are rubbing when turning at low speeds or in a straight line it won't do anything. I'd have thought it's probably a good idea to put one on the back anyway if you don't have one already.

Stiffer dampers will also have no effect on the suspension travel, they're only there to damp out the spring oscillations. You need stiffer or longer springs to keep the tyre off the arch.

Can't you do something to move the arch out of the way? Perhaps remove the plastic trim, or get the arches rolled or flared?

It is only corners at speed so I'm thinking ARBs polly bushes and arch rolling may be the route. If not the different weighted springs I guess

I'd recommend ARB's and polybushes anyway, whether they help the rubbing or not they'll still make an improvement to your car.
