Title: Which Rear ARB
Post by: lm_gauci on June 13, 2013, 11:17:18 pm: I was looking at upgrading the rear ARB on my gti. I was initially looking at both front and rear but don't want the hassle of dropping the subframe on the front and getting the tracking done again.

Which one do people suggest for just the rear....?

Thanks in advance.

EDIT: probably should mention its currently on H&R springs and SuperPro ALK

To be honest thats what i'm thinking, i'm just being a bit picky about which one as i don't want to make it too loose :driver:

I'm still not a whiteline fan. Rust too quickly for my liking.

I had it on my Octavia. IMO it needed a stiffer rear bar, I ended up looking at matching the front eibach ARB with the likes of the BSH 27mm rear ARB to make it less understeerying in nature.
