Hi
And the above is a perfect example of how things end up when you just start adding spring poundage and ARB's to over come a simple problem. Lack
of rebound to compression ratio on the basic damper. Always check the damper out first before starting with ARB's and major spring changes.

Indeed - very easy to get into a vicious circle with spring/ARB rates if your dampers are not right!
And as a general rule, it's the high-velocity damping that usually causes the worst problems. Separate low velocity damping adjustment can be a
useful tuning tool, but it's an expensive luxury and there are usually other ways to achieve the same effect.
But, to be fair, dampers have naff all effect on roll angles in steady state cornering, so it's usually fairly easy to separate the
spring rate/roll stiffness-related issues that govern roll angles and basic, steady-state handling balance from the damping-related issues that govern
ride quality, traction and transient handling, with a little basic testing. A cornering circle marked out on smooth tarmac can be a very powerful
tool...
