Yep, I've got one MK fitted to their export race cars...does it make any difference? Who knows! The Indy is very good with or without , just
wanted to fit one...

chris mason had a front ARB on his s2000 engined indy, from MK.
from our brief conversation, i gathered it made it understeer a lot on track and he wouldn't fit one again.
it'd maybe be better if it were made with adjustable blades, or just to be a bit weaker if you plan to copy the design.
hth,

Thats what front ARBs do -- they stiffen the roll resistance at the front which induces more understeer.
To make full use of a front ARB would require either softer front or harder rear springs to bring the car into balance.

I have not fitted any yet , but am thinking of doing , probably front and rear, Caterhams have them (f & r), and they do a selection of different
sizes, they do have a reputation for excellent handling. I have always been a fan of tuning suspension with different arb's,(on tintops) they
allow you to increase roll stiffness without making the ride too hard. Most production cars have too little rear roll stiffness , so adding a rear
arb, or fitting a stiffer one improves things a lot. I am surprised that so many 7 type cars dont have any arb's
