anti roll bars

[maximous]

Can you fit ant roll bars to the mk2 driver?

cheers max

[Gambit]

yes. front you just need the brackets & drop links

rear. its probably easier to do a complete beam change as the GTi beam has an integrated rear anti roll bar

you would then get the benefits of rear discs as well, get the gti servo and master cylinder while you at it

[maximous]

Cheers. How long will it take to do all of that do you rekon? Or how much would you expect to pay for the parts above?

[Veedubgt18v]

get them from a scrappy and i reckon under a hundred bar. if your mechanically minded i reckon a good 5 hours to strip it off, refit and bleed the brakes. of you got time and or money it would be worth a) getting braided hoses all round and rebuilding the existing mk2 calipers (prob seized from being at scrapy) or fit mk3 or 4 items. get a pressure bleeder makes it loads easier!

If your gonna get rear disks then you ideally need to fit the pressure regulator otherwise you may lock up when braking hard.

mk2 drivers have it fitted as standard, or should do!

The 1.6 Drivers don't have the regulator IIRC, but I believe the 1.8 Drivers do.  The 1.8 Driver also has a front ARB, but not a rear one.

i have had or been involved in 2x mk2 1.6 drivers and a 1.6 ryder and all had the brake pressure thing

Oh ok, maybe I should get underneath mine and check
