wright Posted December 12, 2006 Report Share Posted December 12, 2006 Just got a Lupo 1.4s. Quite alot quicker of the mark than I expected but a bit roly poly.Does it have an anti roll bar and if so could it be uprated? If it hasn't got one ,is it easy to fit?

nfbr Posted December 14, 2006 Report Share Posted December 14, 2006 I'm running a 22.5mm Eibach one, fitted it monday, and its absolutely awesome style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":)" border="0" alt="smile.gif" /> Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gavs_arosa16v Posted December 14, 2006 Report Share Posted December 14, 2006 I sure someone told me its nearly as good as fitting coilovers, uprating the arb on the lupo/arosa. Really does wonders for body roll. Is it really that good? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Petrified Posted December 14, 2006 Report Share Posted December 14, 2006 hopefully i'll be getting one in january, but with the lupo on coilovers theres hardly any body roll so would be very interesting to see the results.where did you get the eibach one?? style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":)" border="0" alt="smile.gif" /> Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MattyA Posted December 20, 2006 Report Share Posted December 20, 2006 IMO arbs are about the best suspension mod you can do, im either going for h&r or eibach. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nfbr Posted December 24, 2006 Report Share Posted December 24, 2006 Umm funnyest part was when the lad i was working with to fit it (owns the garage i used) had managed to lose one of the clips that hold the bar in (where the d-bush goes)we spent over an hour looking for it, only for it to turn up in his back pocket Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VWR Lupo Posted December 24, 2006 Report Share Posted December 24, 2006 If your going to uprate the ARB its worth geting uprated ARB mount bushes (ie Powerflex) and maby also uprate all the subframe bushes which you can also get from powerflex, can recomend them, we use them on all our racers!

nfbr Posted December 24, 2006 Report Share Posted December 24, 2006 I've upgraded the D-bushes and the drop link bushes on a brand new pair of drop links so far style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":)" border="0" alt="smile.gif" /> Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

willcrook Posted January 10, 2007 Report Share Posted January 10, 2007 hmm as usual with the internet theres contrasting opinions.I read on here before that a few people have put on uprated ARB's and noticed no difference. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jon_273 Posted January 12, 2007 Report Share Posted January 12, 2007 50mm Overkill? http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?Vie...p;rd=1&rd=1Hmm thats more like it!Ive been thinking about upgrading my ARB for a while now, im going to measure mine and see what size that standatd item is. I'm presuming they are different sizes on different models, e.g. the TDi must have a thicker one than the 1.0. Does anyone know what the sizes are?
