Anti Roll Bar Kit

[MR Ibiza Cupra]

Has anybody in here tried any particular anti roll bar kits ??? My cars suffering from body roll at high motorway speeds.

 

[ibizacupra]

yes.
Neuspeed.. Choice of 2 diameters. 25mm and 28mm both 3 position adjustable.
fitment is listed as Mk2 Golf, and small L shaped brackets and some extra bolts are req'd to adapt.

I run 28mm one. (combined with 25mm front)
Std cupra front is 20-23mm taper ARB. 23mm in middle, 20mm at ends.

Rear ARB is ~£170 approx plus vat

regards
bill

Thanks, i did a search and found a lil bit of info. How would i benifit from the kits with longer/shorter lengths i.e 28mm etc that u mentioned ??? I have absoloulty no experience with anti roll bars, all i know is how they work. My old car had one as standard.

your ibiza also has one as std inside the rear beam.
This ARB is additional.

thicker the arb stiffer the rear roll control and more taily the car will feel.
3 positions allow stiffness adjustment. shorter=stiffer

I understand, thanks for that. I take it pretty much all the ARB's you've listed are just as good as each other !! Its just up to me to choose out of all the brands ?

I've only listed one brand. Neuspeed.
H&R also do them.

Hasnt there been problems with the Neuspeed ones bill, or is that the H+R?

No problems with Neuspeed.. none I've heard of. What problems are you elluding to? I have run them for years. (mk2 golf setup)

No idea about H&R as I dont deal with them.

Someone, i think Addo, as well as someone with a Onvi cupra kept snapping the brackets/links.

Is it worth upgrading bill, my handling is startin to scare me now, wet roundabouts are tryin to kill me.

it's the rose joint link on the Neuspeed ones that have broken 'sometimes'

But of the two products the Neuspeed is the better 'kit' whereas the H&R requires you attempt to resuse your existing ARB links.... which snap

and I refer to my post back then

mine have been on for a few years now problem free.
poor fitment or freak component issue back in 2004.
only one out of how many?

I suspect poor fitment and alignment and over torquing the link to the wishbone. Too much stress and misalignment will break anyones drop links and rod ends. Mine were also well coated in anti corrosion (waxoil) to preserve them. Still fine now on the race car. Think that passes the durability test.
