RS500 splitter with ARB question
Basically I want to put a front ARB back on my car, its got the RS500 splitter and last time I had one fitted it used to catch when I put abit steering lock on. Hence I fitted Comp brake Compression struts.
anyone else had this problem or found a way of fixing it?

RS500`s never had an issue bud
either shit fiberglass splitter or wrong wheel choice.
is it an origional un-twisted ARB?

Put a 3dr H13 arb on, that will pull the wheels back a bit if one is not already fitted, most had them swapped to an RS500 spec H14.
Its stamped on the arb on the drivers side where it slots through the tca
