Haven't tried a roll bar on my MK2 'biza yet, will do over the next few months!

I'd go for a whiteline one to be honest (only cause there Australian, Like me!)

No seriously, does what it says on the tin, sturdy, robust, not the prettiest looking kit but just solid no B.S engineered stuff!

Cheers people im looking at weitec gt coilovers next do either of you know what there like I dont want the damping to be too harsh though.
oh and does the whiteline bar give much lift off oversteer or does it stick all the time
thanks

I have not tryed the Weitec coilovers mate but I'm in the middle of fitting V-Maxx coilovers on my cupra.

I have heard of people getting lift off oversteer with a rear ARB. The Whiteline one is adjustable (3 different positions) so you can have it how you like, but the Jabba one is a fixed bar.

Got them from DPM http://www.dpmperformance.co.uk/vmaxx-coilover-kit-ibiza-6l-0202-p-2340.html

Rears are already on and I'll be doing the fronts tomorrow. Keep a eye on my readers ride thread for the results (link in sig below).

Review of ARB

I decided to buy the whiteline kit in the end as it was adjustable as well as cheap.
I fitted it on thursday it took about an hour went on easy enough but could have done with a jack as pushing the shocks up by hand was a bit awkward.

Once fitted i drove my usual journey to work the difference isnt really noticable at low speeds but take a roundabout or a corner at high speed and the difference is massive theres still body roll but thats to be expected with standard suspension definately recomend it as a first mod that anyone can do.
