KrazyKev Posted January 18, 2008 Author Report Share Posted January 18, 2008 Hi Simpo,You should have recieved your ARB now Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
simpo Posted January 18, 2008 Report Share Posted January 18, 2008 Yes mate got it yesterday, going on the car tomorrow with a gti front arb as well looking forward to it, ill get a review up sometime tomorrow. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
simpo Posted January 19, 2008 Report Share Posted January 19, 2008 I've fitted the rear arb today, as well as a gti front arb and the difference is very noticeable. In the rain most of the understeer has gone, and as soon as the throttle is released the rear comes into play nicely. If you want to hang the back out its very easy and yet controllable, I just havent got the balls to let it go out too much. The whole back end feels stiffer and more stable round the bends, im now looking forward to dryer weather to see what it can really do.A friend and I managed to fit the lot in an hour 20 min for the rear arb as the front required un bolting the down pipe to slide the old out and the new one in. He drives a polo gti and was so impressed he wants one for a 6n2, though im not sure if jabba sport make one? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KrazyKev Posted January 21, 2008 Author Report Share Posted January 21, 2008 Glad it feels better, the rear ARB tends to help with turn in so you'll find the response on turn in is much better, and the controllable oversteer is great. On mine, there's no real need to correct the slide, just a bit of lift off oversteer to pull the rear round the corner or on a fast corner just fettle the brakes lightly to get the front to dig in and pull the rear round..I believe it will fit the Polo so you're mate's more than welcome to order one Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Its the old shape 1.6 polo gti. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dark Posted January 29, 2008 Report Share Posted January 29, 2008 (edited) can we organise a group buy of say 5+ orders? i would like one but £200 is a lot of money. a group discount would tempt me.i guess the price is high at the moment as not many are made. with a guaranteed order i think it would be much more profitable for us and jabbasport. the average cost of a whiteline rear sway bar is about £100, so there is some scope i'm sure.
