Whiteline rear arb?

[bristolsparks]

Hi guys, maybe a stupid question but here we go

Is a 22mm whiteline rear arb really worth it?

All i can see is its bolted to the rear axle beam so does it actually do much?

i have a LC 180bhp 2003,

Cheers chaps

ha ha, yes it does much... rear arb is one of the best mods you can do for the cash... whiteline is a good way to go, make sure you get the adjustable though, as 22mm is quite thin but 3 levels of stiffness helps with this.

search on arbs then you will see how they are worth it

 

[bristolsparks]

what size would you advise, going on dpm's website i can only see an adjusable 22mm rear?

 

[james walker]

thats all whiteline do, i have this one and its very very good mate.

 

[bristolsparks]

cool, i was gonna buy one but the garage i asked was saying it wont do anything

 

[james walker]

then dnt get them to fit it, obviously havent a clue mate.... no real knowledge of the handling on a leon cupra either by the sounds of it.....

 

[bristolsparks]

i see there pretty easy to fit DIY? just a few bolts by the looks of things, might give it ago myself

 

[james walker]

yup pretty easy job, bolt to rear axle with the supplied clamps, then bolt to suspension cups, put it strait on stiffes setting mate.

be sure to use plenty of grease on the bushings you get with the bar....

 

[bristolsparks]

cool, i might order that tonight then, leave the s3 upper and lower strutts for the pro's

 

[james walker]

s3 lower and upper easy to diy, easier than the rear arb infact mate.

 

[bristolsparks]

oh might have to have a look into that then, u have to drill the upper strutts dont you? not sure about the lower one

Im sure there is a fitting guide somewhere on here

A rear ARB on a Leon 1M is one of the best suspension mods you can do to it.

yeah, drill 3 holes when measures up, bolt through from under the arch, bolt with nyloc nut on the top...

lower is a piece of, bolts into the two obvious holes into the subframe with the rivnuts youll need to get with the brace.

Thanks james,
Bitof subject but do u know if we can get discount on ths hoses?

What would happen if you fit the rear ARB and leave the front one standerd on an LCR ???
Would this create too much oversteer ???

I have a rear Whiteline ARB on the stiffest setting with just an upper strut brace up front and the handling is ok, haven't experienced much over steer at all

No you'll be fine with the Whiteline rear only being 22mm.
