Title: antiroll bar differences
Post by: sharki786 on 30 May 2014, 16:25
Im thinking about changing the antiroll bar to a thicker one. Now my engine is AGG (8V) and i believe that this has a 18mm antiroll bar? Which would be a better one? Say in future i do an engine convo to a vr. So need to take in mind the vr being heavier and leaning alot forward.

also if anyone has one for sale please pm me.

Get some new forged drop links as well, don't want them snapping with the extra load

you taking the p1ss? What are you saying that im a fat f*cker?? :laugh:
the parts that i have replaced should be good for a vr. If they do snap then i will replace with vr parts.
All of the front suspension area is virtually new. I replaced them with good quality parts. I have 3 folders FULL of paper work for the car. Over 8 years of owning it.

Nowt wrong with being big boned....


Seriously though the stiffer arb will pop weak drop links very quickly.
By forged I mean not the welded ones ecp and gsf supply.  Delphi do a solid link for under a score.
VR does not mean quality, most of the time its the same as agg.
I fitted a new arb and one link snapped and split the boot.
Fixed that and lost the other in a week, new boot etc.
Both links were less than a couple of years old.
Just passing on a lesson I learned :smiley:

Just a front isn't advisable on a front wheel drive car as it will increase understeer. You want a matched pair or at least an uprated rear.

So to improve the cornering can i just upgrade the rear one?

Yes,  they're also a sh!t load easier to install as well.

Just get the Eibach set front and rear as they only come in a pair and they are top notch so I hear. I will be doing mine soon. £304 well spent :cool:
