This thread needs more people discussing their ARS. Does your ARS develop slop over time?
EA, did you check out your ARS last night? Inquiring minds would like the measurements of your ARS.
Where's Alex Hagberg? We need him to tell us about his ARS.
Of course I'm joking around, but in all seriousness, I would love to hear what settings people have tried on various surfaces and the results.

It's okay I'm an ARS man.I started the teardown of my '14 last night. Tonight I start on the '15.

Does anybody knows the difference in lenght of the swaybars from the T4 14 compared to the T4 15.
If anybody has both the ones from the new and the previous and can post a picture of the lying next to each other, then I would be greatful.

But think the T4 14 swaybars are about 4-5mm to long to get it to work.
Maybe I will cut them, and se if it works.
Anyone has done this before me ?

ok... ARS
I will probably be laughed at for this but hey ho.
I found that there was not enough change in toe to make a big difference on carpet due to it being a relatively flat surface with no bumps to cope with. this means that the suspension only changes toe in the corners. i've modified my ars to give a maximum of 2 deg change under load. with a setting of 2 deg inboard toe and 0 outboard when cornering i get about 3-3.5 deg on the side under load. making the car super sharp and less drag on the straight. i'm only just starting to look into this but the rear was very stable unless you made very severe steering inputs. i'm a smooth driver and feed the steering not sharp stabs. i put in the fastest lap of the night but only 0.01 quicker than another kid at club running the 15. with that said he is normally 0.2 quicker than me on a single hot lap. i am going to install the standard rear for next friday as we run the same track 2 weeks in a row. it will be good to see the difference if there is any

didn't make the first bit clear...
because there are no significant bumps on a carpet track i believe that allows you to run more ars toe without the car being unstable when hitting bumps

I switched the steering knuckle ball stud to be on top of the steering knuckle not underneath and changed the other end to a 10mm ball stud and put 6mm of shims on the mounting post. I now have loads of adjustment

millbank, Thanks for sharing ARS trials as I'm sure many of us are eager to get it to work for intended added performance gains. Planning to build the ARS configuaration also for the winter carpet season in hopes to find positive results.
