156 GTA

Re: 156 GTA rear roll bar on 2.5 V6

For what its worth stiffening my rear ARB to a whiteline extra heavy duty one (16mm->20mm differnce) totally transformed my cars handling, and made it way more responsive under cornering plus conclusively quicker lap times.

This would be the normally expected result for most I would say.

It doesn't look too hard to change so if I don't like the results it wouldn't take much to change it back. Watch this space......
