Thinking of upgrading front and rear Anti roll bars and suspension looking at using bits by JOM are they any good or would i be better off booting a bit more money and getting better brand also gonna do all bushes and drop links  home job or pay someone to do it?

JOM have mixed reviews for there budget coil overs, cannot comment on the ARBs they produce.

I think whiteline/eibach ARBs are the ones to go for though!

How much difference does having them make?

I'm lowered on shocks and springs but how much difference would a rear ARB make, as the mk4s dont have one as standard do they?
Also what is up with the front one? Are after market ones stiffer?

I got FK coilovers lol  :grin:

Rear ARB stiffens up back, makes it alot more 'sure' round corners.

Front ARB are stiffer, because they are thicker  :nerd:
