Ibiza Uprating ARB

[steveoelliott]

Hi,

I've got a 2003 Seat Ibiza TDI 130 Sport.

I was wondering if it was possible to uprate the front ARB to the same they use on the Cupra?

Also does any one else do an uprated front ARB for the Ibiza MK4?

How difficult are they to fit?]

Cheers...

Yes the Cupra one will fit perfectly! I have it on mine. Its a tricky enough job that i'd leave to the pro's!!

Buy the VRs one - its thicker than the Cupra ARB and fits just as good!

Did you find much difference fitting the thicker ARB?

 

[andy_gdon]

to be honest....no becuase i fitted the coilovers at almost the same time!!

Hi,

What exactly do i need to buy then. Is it a kit or something. What shall i ask the parts department at seat or skoda for?

Cheers...

 

[andy_gdon]

go to Skoda parts and ask for the front ARB all the wee bits and bobs will come with it!

Kool. Thanks.

These defo fit the Ibiza Mk4 and are an improvement over the 130BHP sport one.

I take it you don't need to buy new drop links and you can just use the old ones.

By the way any ideas how much they cost and how long it would take a good mechanic to fit.

Cheers...

IIRC i got my ARB for £50-60 and it cost me £90-100 for fitting of coilovers and ARB.

no new drop links are required

Have any of you or how many of you have put a rear ARB on a 130tdi sport? A racing friend suggested to put a thick rear ARB and leave the front stock. Thick rear arb will prevent roll, but with the stock front it will give the front tires with room to move and have a good grip.

its a well known mod to do the rear arb and there is group buys all the time for it but it costs in the region of £200 just for the parts i belive....oh and uk delivery
