Default Installed ARB before and after pics inside. also need input.

Hey guys i recently installed a ARB on my 240, i will post before and after pics from both sides. with out the ARB the car would turn right a little before it sat down. now it sits down straight. however the amount of body roll has only reduced slightly. pics from the passenger side seem to show about the same amount of tire going up in the fender. while pics of the drivers side seem to slightly less gap between the fender and tire. i have a very slight amount of preload on the passenger side link. and im using the end holes on the ARB arms ( they said using the second holes will stiffen the bars ) so any way based on these pictures what do you think? and would you just add preload ( which might make the car turn ) or use the other holes that will stiffen the bar up?

ok the first two pics are with out arb and the next two with.




now with

I'd try stiffen the bar up, seems safer then adding more preload.

Definitely add some more preload to the driver's side of the anti-roll bar. Doing this will help the car launch more evenly and get rid of the twisted up chassis issues you are having.

I am assuming you probably have the anti-roll bar set neutral?
