The only Rear ARB available is the Neuspeed one which is 300 sheets

Whiteline dont make one unfortunately despite what some people say.
H&R do a front ARB but that just creates understeer

Keep us updated with how you get on though

300 is mad for esentially a machined bar with some links and bolts :?

I know its daylight robbery but its unfortunately the only available Rear ARB for the 6N2 and 6K ibiza (Mk3).

The H&R Front ARB from Venom is £220 but its going to make the car worse if anything

They have come down in price since I was last quoted but they are still a bit too pricey.

Might be worth asking the question about the group buy though

Is the 28mm one the only one available? After reading the thread I thought the 25mm one was best for fast road use

I've just emailed Awesome to see if they can still get a hold of the 25mm one that used to be available.

Alternatively, there's this http://www.balancemotorsport.co.uk/prod ... mber=58834

And from further research POSSIBLY this http://www.jabbasport.com/store/index.p ... &ref=JSARB

Received an email from Awesome today telling me that the Neuspeed bar can't be fitted to the 6n2 without modification (I'm not so sure but anyway)... and no mention of the 25mm bar which was my initial inquiry.

So, It looks like the Whiteline ARB is the best bet then. Still stupidly dear for a bit of metal.

Hmmm im still not convinced that the neuspeed one doesn't fit- may have to try and persuade my mate with a ibza cupra to get one so i can try it :P

Bill at Badger 5 said the Neuspeed one needed modification too, its designed for the Ibiza MK3 Cupra which has the same chassis but apparently there can be issues with getting it fitted. The Jabba Rear ARB wont fit the 6N2 Polos but will fit the 9N/9N3's.

Be interesting to see if the Whiteline bar will fit without any modification

Ticki (an old member on here) fitted it with no issue I think. There's a 6 page thread somewhere with a similar name to this one. Shows pics of it fitted and a rough guide on how to fit it :)

BAM!

Pics on page 2 but the whole thread is an interesting enough read with plenty of insight.
