Front Anti Roll Bar

Post by MrP »

Does anyone what the size the GTi front anti roll bar is? I know there is 18, 20 and 22mm available for the mk5 as standard. Which is fastened to which models?

Got any links Bradley?
Are they marketed for the 6N2 or the MK3 Ibiza?

Better off spending the money on a rear ARB first (Unless you already have one)

Yes they have a 18mm? bar in the axle, you would still benifit alot from another. Neuspeed a dew different ones if the Whiteline one doesn't fit. I added a 24mm one to my Lupo and it totally kills understeer.

Not sure. Jabbasport said their rear one will fit a Polo, bit more money though.

Uprating the front ARB will give more understeer unless you drop the front spring rates and stiffen up the rear first.

Can a front arb be updated without changing the mounts or will oem mounts/rubbers be ok. Will the mk3 Ibiza front fit the 6n2 gti???

Soz about the questions lol....

Iv got a upper n lower strut brace but feel they do nothing and don't know how to adjust them tbh...
