KrazyKev Posted September 20, 2007 Report Share Posted September 20, 2007 (edited) Hey Guys!Good news, we've now adapted our Skoda Fabia ARB to fit the Lupo and what a difference it makes!!!I fitted one of these to my own car last night and then took it for a spin round some twisties.Overall impression is it stabilises both the front and rear of the car under heavy cornering, whereas before, the front would understeer untill you let off the throttle now the front grips and grips untill the tyres cant hold anymore.The rear now comes into play a little more, but simply aides the front round corners and is very controllable, there's no tailhappy oversteer at all, embarissed a few people round the roundabouts last night I cant stress just how this transforms the handling of the car.Tested on a lupo with Weitec Hicon GT Coilovers and now a Rear Anti-RollbarPicture:These usually sell out at £210 inc VAT + PostageI can do a club-lupo discount and offer you them delivered for £210 inc vat. It's well worth the money, and only a 30min job to fit.We can also offer fitting if needed... Edited January 29, 2008 by KrazyKev Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IDGM Posted September 20, 2007 Report Share Posted September 20, 2007 What a good do. I was going to go for the ARB for our Ibiza next spring once the warranty was up. This new addition is brilliant. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LoopyLing Posted September 20, 2007 Report Share Posted September 20, 2007 Are they an easy fit? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KrazyKev Posted September 20, 2007 Author Report Share Posted September 20, 2007 Yeah, undo two bolts that hold the dampers in place, attach the bar then do them back up.Then mate the bar up to the rear beam with the bushes and use the milakor clamps to clamp the bar to the rear beam.

Tallika_Fan Posted September 20, 2007 Report Share Posted September 20, 2007 Sounds like a good buy this one does, perhaps when funds are more readily available. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kid Icarus Posted September 21, 2007 Report Share Posted September 21, 2007 I really would like one of these but having a Scorpion back box and the coilovers wound right down, there really is a small margin of error. I'm afraid to splash out in case the bar fouls the box. I'd like to be proved wrong though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KrazyKev Posted September 24, 2007 Author Report Share Posted September 24, 2007 I can hold the price for as long as anyone wants. Just drop me a pm if you want to chat about it or ask any Q's Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm afraid to splash out in case the bar fouls the box. I'd like to be proved wrong though.If its a GTI your talking about, i have got a Scorpion exhaust, and KW coilovers wound right down as far as they go and the bar still fits fine....

KrazyKev Posted January 12, 2008 Author Report Share Posted January 12, 2008 Yeah apologies for that, i just spoke to Nick who took your order, he wasn't aware of the special we were doing for club-lupo.Apologies.It'd be nice once you've had it fitted if you could give us a review of how the car handles and drives before and after, of course, i can rant and rave about how good they are but people may think im biased...
