Rear ARB
Remap & panel filter
You could have a good looking, nimble and quick GTI that stops too for less than a grand :happy2:

Excellent :happy2:
Been keeping a lookout for some reasonably priced R32/Cupra brakes for a while.
Does the RARB make a lot of difference to the Golf? I had a Polo GTI 1.8t before the Golf GTI (had to sell it as it knackered my back) that was far far more nimble than the Golf but really needed the RARB. However I always thought the Golf's roll control was half decent as it was, just the turn in is much slower than the Polo. Another area I must look at then :happy2:
tony_danza:
The stiffer rear ARB will tweak the natural inbuilt understeer out of the front, quickening up the turn in, the WALK will help with this too. 2 minute job to fit, so costs are minimal, the front you have to drop the subframe and such, so can be time consuming/costly.
Doing both ARBs will obviously help with body roll, but both aren't entirely necessary.

And going back a few posts, how much are the S3 intercoolers compared to the Forge Twintercooler? :smiley:

The S3 IC with hoses will set you back around £300 whilst the Forge Twintercooler is close to £600.
