22mm Anti roll bar

[S7UYJ]

What does everyone think of this??

Mine has lost the crappy plastic retaining bits and slipping all over so time for a new one!

Want something stiffer, but dont fancy forking out the £200! not lowered or anything else done really so just want to see if this will do as a minor upgrade?

Standard seat one is £60ish anyway!

Other than that been looking at the VRS one, any advice??

IMO there's no point in spending a lot on the front ARB. If you want a thicker one, look at the FR/Cupra Ibiza's and as you mentioned, I think the Fabia VRS one is 21mm. Spend the rest on a rear ARB which is worth the money.

cheers mate, I know i could pick up a vrs one for similar to this one on fleabay, but not sure weather the fleabay one is better or just to stick to the fabia one?

Personally I'd stick to one I know, and one I'd be able to get ARB bushes for should they go, unless you sure of the quality of the other product.

i fitted the OEM Fabia VRS front ARB.....£60'ish from the Skoda dealer.
IIRC had to drop the subframe away from the chassis an inch or 2 to remove the old one and fit the new one otherwise you cant remove/replace......then you need to get the tracking / 4 wheel alignemnt checked after, so bear this cost also in mind before making a purchase

to be fairthe Ibiza has enough understeer without adding a thicker FARB creating more....i only fitted the 21mm VRS ARB as i have a Jabbaspot 25mm RARB fitted
as said, get a rear ARB, worth every penny IMO.....think the Whiteline RARB is 22mm and half the price of the Jabba RARB

Just keep with the standard one, I would only really uprate the front if you had a rear one aswell, and the car set up to handle properly with coilovers bushes etc all changed.
Other wise a thicker front arb on its own would ruin the handling Iwould have thought!
