Best Anti Roll Bar kit?
the bruce:
Laurent, this wasn't any reproach. :drinking:
I don't want to screw bigger things every 2nd weekend, but I
use to adjust the dampers before and after every slalom race.
laurent.d:
Never mind, I didn't thought you did. :drinking:
TT-Turbo:
I find Eibach a little too "safe" for me and didn't really get rid of the understeer in my previous car. It definitely helped out the grip levels in general but wouldn't go for something that isn't going to make the car feel more neutral like the Neuspeed kit does.
GLIDN:
Well I have been running APR Rear anti-roll Bar since September last year.
till Jan 2011 when it ended in an accident, Pulled all the parts off but only got my car back 3 weeks ago. No it was no Major damage (new fender and bumper and water bottle etc)
I have been driving the car without the ARB since I received my car back. But enjoy way more than stock.
Have to send the car to the panel beaters again. so have not re-installed will do so once I get it back again.
So we here in NZ only get the Whiteline ARB's. But being everything else was APR on my car. I decided to put most eggs in one basket. Glad I did.
I find the car a tad bouncier in the back without passengers. But far nicer with.
I like how neutral the car has become, sharper turn-ins and flatter around corners.
One downfall (actually a bonus really), is in the wet without really trying I can easily pop the rear out and start drifting. even simply pulling away around a corner in the wet.
Still running standard height on my car, mainly as I still have not decided 100% on springs or adjustable suspension. Plus a slight chance I may actually sell me car. So Easier to sell standard. Especially a TR GTI.
Redemption:
Bumping an old thread as I'm after some help with ARB sizes, stiffness etc. Looking to get a 3DR ED30/Pirelli GTI DSG in the next few months and want to do the handling and braking modifications before winding the engine power up.
I want to improve the handling and sharpen it up but don't want the rear end deciding it wants to overtake the front in the twisties or going around a roundabout.
What combination of ARB sizes and settings would be best in this case?
