1.9 TDi Sport... Standard apart from Green Cotton Air Filter!

Front and rear Neuspeed anti roll bars or some money towards a nice set of coilovers, to make it look nice but most importantly, handle :)

Remap!!!!

It's cheap, quick and easy. No hassle!


I would want a full suspension set up not just springs and a reputable make spax, kw or eibach so that would be over budget and there's more work involved wheel alignment weighting etc.

I would want to get the suspension sorted before i decided whether i needed a ARB.

either first. have you got a set of Neuspeed ARBS's fitted....?

by far, as quoted by many on here who are running this setup, state this is one of the best mods they have done to their car (bar a remap)

No i haven't!

But how do you know whether you really need If you don't know how much the change in spring stiffness is gonna change the way the car reacts.

Careful. You might talk me into buying one.

coilies help a great deal but there is no substitute for a good set of ARB's

one of THE best mods to date I have done to mine (and I have done a lot to mine)

it transformed the handling and made it like a go kart round corners and private roundabouts

believe me, you wont be disappointed.....not that I am trying to make you buy a set of course;)

You can only get a whiteline for the rear of a beezer.

Taking my car in jabbasport on wednesday might have a word with them see what they can do.

i have a group buy running on these atm;)

I'm sure i read someone one here bought one and got sent the wrong u bolts twice. Recently.

Puts me off. The first time I can accept as a mistake. Someone should of definitely spent some extra time making sure it was right second time round.

Would rather spend the extra cash.

I got one of the first ones about 15 months ago and it came with a wrong washer. I just went down B&Q and got some new ones.

If it's a Whiteline ARB it will still be from Whiteline! So still a chance of getting the wrong parts :shrug:

That be me yes it is Whitline's fault up in Scotland they are not very bothered about customer service according to Awesome they had to keep harassing them for me, I got sent the wrong flange nuts for the U bolt first they sent me replacements within a few days but only when I was fitting it could I tell the U bolts were too short and took them awhile to send me them. BUT fitted about an hour ago finally!!
Anyway you could always get a from ARB from the Fabia vRS but big job to fit unless you are mechanically minded. Coilovers yes you would have to pay for alignment as well people forget that so gonna cost more that your budget I think.
