guys, 18mm ARB affect ride comfort? or same as 16mm?

On straight road, no difference at all wether no ARB, 16mm or even 188mm Bro

hmm...so it just makes the cornering stiffer?

Yes Bro... Only during cornering have effect

Somehow in the FB group, someone mentioned that 18mm ARB will give a stiffer cornering experience therefore sacrificing some comfort. If one doesn't go rough on cornering at high-speed is recommended to go with 16mm ARB instead of 18mm. Anyone care to elaborate more on this?

Yes bro, offcourse it will sacrifice a bit of comfort, but only during cornering, but to me, i personally prefer the flat cornering rather than sampan cornering.. To me when u corner flat ul be less likely to experience 'pening'.. But, maybe that is just me...

For ur info, only during cornering is the only time the ARB is at work, other than that, it do nothing really...

erhm, right is oem, the left one is the one i changed lor, w/o any red lining yah

You mean, 18mm will give more "flat" cornering compared with 16mm which the car doesn't roll that much? If that's the case, isn't the 18mm will be a better pick than the 16mm? What kind of "comfort" it takes off? More difficult to corner or...?

Thks bro, cost me rm200 ler due high continental rides quality , but just for 1 time long term changes ok i guess yah

Where is the shop??

in kota damansara bro, they usually customize for highend rides only, just like in the pictures...also got merc & audi

Hey Bro, I was actually just passing the message of what people says lol. In terms of what kind of comfort it takes off...I really can't answer that LOL.

Anyways there're even people saying that 18mm too stiff ? will make rear lose traction and hard to control? Is this true actually LOL

Hehehe, can be true also Bro, because when rear is stiff, can leads to oversteer, so good rubbers is really a necessities to void this snap oversteer

These statements sufficient to make me reconsider of taking 16mm instead of 18mm ARB

But neutral cornering feeling is very tempting bro.. But, what ever it is, need to know ur car setup, thats the most important,,, Because all car is not the same even with same model etc, but different mod make ur car react differently..

Currently, my car still at stock setting. What I'm feeling now during cornering is that the car rolls a lot compared with previously when I'm driving Wira Aero. Well, the Wira Aero is lower and heavier car after all, hence I feel the "roll" when driving MyVi.

I wanted to install the ARB to lessen the "roll" and I thought 18mm wouldn't be that much of different compared with 16mm other than the price and breakability (my friend keep telling me about this). Now I'm not sure whether I should pick 16mm or 18mm...

to me, mainly is the price difference. 18mm is rm60 more.
if the difference during cornering is just minor...then I'll take the 16mm and use that money I save to buy other parts.
