You WILL NOT get a rear one - they dont make one.


They use the SAME text and picture for every single kit on that site - you're a fool if you believe it.

That a little harsh, if it states it why would you believe anything different?

As far as I am aware they dont do a R/ARB thats why I have the Eibach F/ARB and the Jabba R/ARB set up on mine.

Whilst on with handling, you might aswell get Cupra/Powerflex bushes, spacers and coilovers and strut braces and a diff :)

How does the front end feel with the eibach antiroll bar t.spark? Do you find it understeers less? I hear the jabba rear arb makes a massive difference! :D

Arbs - I had the Eibach F/ARB and bushes front and rear fitted at the same time, and wow! Big difference, the front end is alot more responsive, I point it goes! Only problem is you end up oversteering far to much whilst getting used to it, and then have to correct mid corner.. makes for fun for a few miles but once your used to it, feels great worth every penny imo. No point being able to go fast in a straight line if you are slow in a corner! Jabba R/ARB was done a week or two after, and the difference wasnt as noticable if im honest, but I didnt expect it to be, its only one bar! But I can say they all work well together, the front is now very tight, and the back end has been known to step out from time to time, but with the R/ARB in place its control-able and a good giggle. Would tell anyone pound for pound for confiderence in a corner its just as good as a remap on a straight!

Bushes - imo the cupra bushes for the front are the best as pretty much solid, so whent for a set of those, but whilst at it I also fitted powerflex bushes to the rear (not the rear of the car, rear of the front if that makes sense!) So im running Cupra and Powerflex bushes front and rear, Eibach F/ARB, Jabba R/ARB, Eibach coilovers, 25mm spacers and a Seat Sport strut brace at my handling set up at the moment and I dread to think what it felt like when it was standard!

End of next month I need to uprate my clutch ready for *cough* turbo *cough* so whilst they have that out im going to slam a limited slip diff on aswell for a laugh, will let you know how that feel in time!

:lol: Sounds like October will be an expensive month for you then mate! Thanks for the input on the arb's need to improve my cornering capabilities! Have you put spacers on the front as well as the rear?

Yes, as Ive got a turbo on order for a few more ponnies (240/250bhp) aswell :D

As for spacers, I was looking at some for the front, wouldnt go xtreme, 5mm tops I would say :)

I heard sticking spacers on the front can cause excessive wear on the bearings?

Who's doing the hybrid 4u then? You doing the injectors too? :D

Not sure yet... no-one can seem to offer me big silly power.

Jabba quote = 230bhp

JBS = 240bhp

Allards = 260bhp

JBS have said with new injectors they are waiting for then they should get alot more.. but I duno...

Unsure what to do really

another thing worth noting.....

VRS front ARB is 21mm, £64

Eibach front ARB is 22mm, £150 - £160

i doubt 1mm thicker is going to make a noticable difference :shrug:

VRS front ARB = at least £85 to spend on something else ;)

now what can i spend mine on! :p

Allards have a really good reputation and have been doing it for the longest, apparently their maps on higher powered diesel cars are a lot less smokey, compared with jabba or jbs, but I think when u get to the stage of uprating the injectors then u will be cleaning the rear end quite often anyway lol! :D

Go with whichever you thinks best mate - or offers the most bhp for your cash! :lol:
