What's involved in fitting an M400 front ARB to a 3R?

I would not bother, mine broke once and the turn in on the slower twisty bits was great.

I considered not repairing.

Thanks Ash

I was going to order the bits and give it a try as the R888's are creating so much grip the car that a bit more body control would not go amiss, but think I will hold off until we take a proper look at the suspension later in the year.

R888's on a 3R, you would be better off spending the cash on Nitrons, with R compound tyres on standard you will be hitting the bump stops.
I had this them swithched to nitrons...massive imrpovement.

Nitrons are next. Had to do the tyres first to keep legal so it was justthe way the dice fell.

How are you finding the 888's? Look like a good option when the corsa's wear out.
Have you got the standard sizes or did you go for the 285/30's?

Think you need new uprights for the ARB - and Nitrons are great, no more banging the bumpstops and more mechanical grip.

The 888's are brill, even in the wet. The specialist that fitted them was surprised at the grip in the cold/wet.

Got 235 front and 285 rears. Got them from Treadfirst who pretty well matched Camskill on price.
