Robbo87 Posted January 10, 2012 Report Share Posted January 10, 2012 just wanted to find out if anyone had compared them both really as theres a 3mm difference was seeing if one was substationally better than the other really cheers Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
truCido Posted January 10, 2012 Report Share Posted January 10, 2012 I'd argue for the £90 price difference there probably isn't that big a difference...saying that I use a jabbasport one. what are you going to be using it for? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JWB's Lupo Posted January 10, 2012 Report Share Posted January 10, 2012 How much is each one? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
truCido Posted January 10, 2012 Report Share Posted January 10, 2012 Whiteline is £140, Jabbasport is £230 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
angelo77 Posted January 10, 2012 Report Share Posted January 10, 2012 Whiteline from awsome is about £130.00, had mine on for about 1500 miles now. It's on the hardest setting now. Love it to bits, No experience of the jabba sports one Any rear arb is better than no rear arb! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CasperGTI Posted January 11, 2012 Report Share Posted January 11, 2012 I have the jabba one on mine, although I bought it before awesome had developed the white line one.Personally the white line one is better as its adjustable.

Robbo87 Posted January 11, 2012 Author Report Share Posted January 11, 2012 well im running my car as a daily/track day car all my engines been done and got 0-60 down to 5or6 seconds so now im just trying to get it stopping and cornering better its poly bushed all round ap coilovers lowered not slammed im just moving on to some alloy brakes (brembo, tarox etc) but roll bars was my next priority and ive been told to concentrate on the rears as the eibach front one makes it too stiff?

JoeA Posted January 11, 2012 Report Share Posted January 11, 2012 Get the rear one and it feels completely different Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Huw Pugh Posted January 11, 2012 Report Share Posted January 11, 2012 The general jist I've had from the fabia perspective (it uses the same rarb) is that the whiteline is good enough for most people. If you're fully polly bushed with coilies etc, the thicker jabbasport one is better. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have the huge RARB on mine that Awesome won't sell to anybody else and on track it's still not stiff enough IMO. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Can't decide which one to put back on now I've converted to a GTI rear beam though. Edited January 11, 2012 by jon_273 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CasperGTI Posted January 12, 2012 Report Share Posted January 12, 2012 Jon if you have the whiteline then use that one, as it's adjustable. That's what I'd do.John Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jon_273 Posted January 12, 2012 Report Share Posted January 12, 2012 Yes, think I will. I'll start out on the softest setting and take it from there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JoeA Posted January 12, 2012 Report Share Posted January 12, 2012 (edited) Yes, think I will. I'll start out on the softest setting and take it from there.Don't bother, medium or stiff Edited January 13, 2012 by joeadamou Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DANIELP1991 Posted January 12, 2012 Report Share Posted January 12, 2012 always found mine was better on stiff setting.although my dampers wernt all that stiff tbh. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jon_273 Posted January 13, 2012 Report Share Posted January 13, 2012 I already have uprated rear dampers and now a GTi rear beam, which has an ARB built in though! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
