View Full Version : ARB's.
Bill,
could I have a price for some thicker ARb's for my cordoba SX. What can you get and how thick are they?
Also I guess it would be worth replacing the bushes, what can you get?

You can get these from Awesome GTi store..
Neuspeed... choice of 23 or 25mm front and 25 or 28mm rear.
Another option is H&R bars
Golf II fitment but you will need some L shaped brackets to adapt the rear to fit ibiza/cordoba rear shock mounts
i've got 25mm front & 28mm rear for my daily driver there fine on the ibiza, until this happens:

mine are still intact.
Well was lubed on installation tho.
Is it better to get the 28mm ones over the 25mm rear ones?
whats the standard size?

rear ARB is integral to rear beam.
front arb is 23 taper to 20mm on ends..
choice of arb is up to preference to handling
well as the car is going to be used on track, I assume it would be better to have the thicker 28mm one?
What difference in handling is there between the 25mm and 28mm rear ones?

down to preferences
stiffer bar - more tail endy
