FRONT
ARB BLADES
The configuration of the Anti-Roll Bar arms, or “blades”, can be changed to alter the overall stiffness of the ARB assembly.
Increasing the number of ARB arms will increase the roll stiffness of the front suspension, resulting in less body roll but increasing
mechanical understeer. This can also, in some cases, lead to a more responsive steering feel from the driver. Conversely, reducing
the number of ARB arms will soften the suspension in roll, increasing body roll but decreasing mechanical understeer. This
can result in a less-responsive feel from the steering, but grip across the front axle will increase. Along with this, the effects of
softening or stiffening the ARB assembly in relation to aerodynamics should also be considered, softer ARB assemblies will result
in more body roll which will decrease control of the aero platform in high speed corners and potentially lead to a loss in aero
efficiency. 4 configurations of ARB arms are available and range from 1 (softest) to 4 (stiffest).
TOE-IN
Toe is the angle of the wheel, when viewed from above, relative to the centerline of the chassis. Toe-in is when the front of the
wheel is closer to the centerline than the rear of the wheel, and Toe-out is the opposite. On the front end, adding toe-out will
increase slip in the inside tire while adding toe-in will reduce the slip. This can be used to increase straight-line stability and turn-in
responsiveness with toe-out. Toe-in at the front will reduce turn-in responsiveness but will reduce temperature buildup in the front
tires.
