Rear ARB

[St3f!]

Has anyone fitted 1 of these?what is the difference like ! gonna fit the front this week along with coilovers and wonder if it is worth while getting one for the rear also?

 

[Ad Lav]

Yeah, i've got one!

Along with the spacers, coilovers, strut brace and front ARB's it makes a great package!

 

[rashcupra]

imo dont bother £200 thrown down the drain!

 

[Ad Lav]

£200 is a bit steep, if it was £100 people would be more tempted, does make it more level and handle well in the dry, in the wet it tends to stiffen it up too much!

 

[mixupz]

what about a front arb? along with coilovers and a strut brace?

 

[Ad Lav]

Yep, I did mine when changing to coilovers, the bushes had worn out anyway so cheaper to buy/fit at the same time.

 

[St3f!]

thought 200 was a bit steep this can be put towards the wheel fund!

I found rear ARB is great with the standard suspension! Less impact with uprated suspension?? bit too much oversteer??

 

[rashcupra]

back end kicks out id wait for it to reduce in price imo!

I always thought the Ibizas at least had a front ARB Need to add that to my list then..

 

[Ad Lav]

They do have a front one, but the rear axle is from a horse and cart so needs upgrading...

^^^^^^^^ ^^^^^^^^ front arb is 21mm on the cupra 19 on the lower specs and on the vrs skoda is 22mm iirc cant remember now

eibach do a 24mm front arb tho!
is no rear arb as standard. the rear arb upgrade is a custom fitted part

I believe the FR had a extra mm over the Sport PD130's

I have the Eibach fron ARB, Cupra bushes and Powerflex bushes (best of both) and Jabba rear arb, with Eibach coilovers, 20mm rear spacers and even some iccle 7mm spacers for the front, of course running decent tread aswell all round.

I find that it oversteers and the back end does like to step out... which is great

£205 for this rear ARB...

[St3f!]

do i need the fabia bushes and brackets to fit this onto my car?

 

[Ric 2001]

If you buy the Jabba Rear ARB then you get the bushes and clamps that go around the torsion beam in the kit.

basically you get this...... + how to fit it.
