FRONT

ARB SET TING

Increasing the ARB setting shortens the ARB moment arm and will increase the roll stiffness of the front suspension, resulting in 
less body roll but increasing mechanical understeer. This can in some cases, lead to a more responsive steering feel for the driver. 
Conversely, reducing the ARB setting lengthens the ARB moment arm, softening the suspension in roll and 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, a softer ARB configuration 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. Two ARB settings are available: 1 ‘soft’ and 2 ‘stiff’.

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.
