Default What ARB's to fit

I've got a uk 2000 x reg and I've just fitted sti shocks and Pi springs and alloy front wishbones, now I'm looking at up rating the ARBs on it,
Just wondered what to fit on a low budget ?
What's best Sti, type R or type RA ?
What peoples opinions on this ?

you know what I'd be very interested to know as well what size ARB's were fitted to what, it might well be that an STi rear ARB would be a good upgrade on a UK classic for example, only problem is once you do find out what's what you may have a hard time finding one! Best bet is to keep your eye on the traders parts section, uprated (whiteline etc) ARBs do come up from time to time, but more like £100 each. However bear in mind that some people find themselves only changing the rear one, as this can cure some of the cars understeer, so buying a second-hand rear one and refurbing your front one with new bushes is certainly an option and would be around your budget.

Bear in mind though that if you keep the front stock you don't want to go crazy on the thickness on the rear, too thicker bar may affect the handling in a non too positive way!

Hit google and start researching :-)

Here's an good article to get you started, part 2 is easy to find also
