25mm front anti roll bar? good upgrade?
« on: 11 March 2013, 20:42 »

As title really just purchased one for my car have many of you upgraded the front anti roll bar on your mk3's just wondering what difference it will make ? I'm running on coilovers and fully poly bushed underneath so i'm hoping this is the next step to a bit better handling maybe?

Ideally, you want a rear ARB more than a front or a matched pair, or a pair with a proportionally larger rear

ARB than front ARB.

A front ARB is pointless on it's own...the last thing an understeering Mk3 needs is a larger front ARB on a

standard rear as it'll understeer even more.  Thats the sound advice I have been given :smiley:

By all means fit one while you save for the rear but best in a pair for sure.
You will never get good handling scraping the ground :lipsrsealed:

Eibach or Neuspeed ARB's are meant to be superb but pricey :smiley:
