    Pretty much my setup too, i know it dosent make much sense but the RS2 FARB actually helped reduce understeer, car dosent dive onto the outside front wheel as much on quick turn in. Granted it was the last item i changed, with just the whiteline rear is wasnt a very nice setup, way too twitchy on the rear end.

      Fitted a neuspeed rarb the other day and couldn't agree more with Igrees. The car just feels tighter all round with a noticeable improvement in handling. Great upgrade.

        Neuspeed RARB is Avant/Sedan only (AFAIK).

        When will the antipodean fairies bring me an adjustable FARB for us all ?

              OK I could do with some help here. Frankly i am baffled by your understeer issues!!! My ABY Avant is a pig for oversteer, it is so bad it is frightening. It is loads of fun on roundabouts as you can point the front right at the centre of it and drift round and round and round, and coming out of junctions its good too, but id rather be able to go faster round corners than a tractor can. I am too scared to at the moment! In the dry it aint tooooo bad, but it still lets the ar*e out first. So, what the hell is up with it? It is stock atm.

              Also, I am havving issues with it cutting out on WOT above 4k rpm and it does this till i turn they key off and on again and it will then clear and go until it decides to do it again, usually when i pull out to pass something! ahhh! It shows a max boost exceeded, and fuel air mix out of span or something similar, any ideas?

              Thanks

                      I have similar questions for my Coupe. I am currently rebuilding the suspension I have coilover sleeves and will be picking up some 350-450 lb springs for it (thinking 400 front and 450 rear with helper springs). I also have a CQ front swaybar for the rear and a RS2 front swaybar for the front. goal is good street setup that will be decent on track. Car will also have 255/40-17 tires. Is this a good setup? I;ve been told move the RS2 to the rear? this is a late build US spec CQ.
                      Id re think your spring stiffness, i have konis advusted all the way on front, (rear 1/2 trun less) with 600lb springs front and 450lb springs rear and i still dont think my car is stiff enough.

                      Sure it has sharpened everything up but i would recomend going stiffer than that again personally.

                      If i had known i would have gonne 800/850lb front and 725/750lb rear, but im saving for KW's now so i wont be buying any more springs!
                      Probably the longet S2 project in history EVER!
