Well.... this is a bit more complex than just "remove your ARBs and you will get more grip"

Very interesting, he's right about the compression on dampers on one side affecting the other side ( causing wheel lift) when cornering. The only way to get true independent suspension would be to either, A, remove anti-roll bars and have well set up springs and dampers or B, torsion bar anti-roll bars, 4 of, which work independently of each other , anyone removed anti-roll bars and tried it?

I think it only applies if you have hours to adjust your shock setting, damping, rebound, stiffness etc..

For most people they saying adding decent stiffer roll bars makes the world of difference. I dont have hours and hours. So stiffer sway bars for me :happy2:
