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?

Dont suppose anybody has found any aftermarkets front & rear ARB's as of yet?
Neuspeed make them as I have previously posted but they are literally over £300 each

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...
