Not sure...but I went for the H&Rs just to be on the safe side of things.

Their also suitable with the rocco that I'll be changing to next year so it's a truck load of win on all accounts :laugh:

do you have a ride impression to report? I'm curious about their swaybars too after looking at their WALK.
Janner_Sy:
ARBs make a huge difference on the mk5 chassis. whiteline bars get very good press on the skoda forums(same chassis/engines) however ive read a few posts mentioning that they had corroded and looked old after being fitted for a while.
KleinAberFein:
Janner - thanks for the information. I will also do more research into the ARBs. These all seem like good "bang for the buck" modifications.
Its unfortunate to hear about the rust problems with the Whiteline bars. I was looking at the product when I saw their stand at Automechanika and it looked very nice. Okay, they are new and everything looks good new right? But I noticed that they now have TÜV approval for their MKV parts. That is a really big deal. I'm not sure if you know what goes into having product TÜV certified, but it is very serious stuff. Maybe the new stuff is better than the older ARBs? We can only wait to see. But in regards to rust, heck, the OEM Mercedes stuff is so rusty after only one year here in Germany too! lol
But thanks again, I am learning very much here.
