Possible Group Buy: Rear ARB

Hi guys,

I've been looking at rear arbs for the fabia and a company called Whiteline automotive has a product (BWR19z) which will fit. The price is £101.35 plus VAT and shipping is £12.00 + VAT but if a few of us get together they will do a discount, 10% for 5 bars and between 6 - 10 bars there will be a 15% dicount.

anyone interested?

Re: Possible Group Buy: Rear ARB

Are rear ARBs easy to fit? If I can do it myself then I may be interested.

Re: Possible Group Buy: Rear ARB

i have been running the whiteline rear arb for a few months and it performs really well, there are 3 settings with the stiffist giving big lift off oversteer for the tiff needels out there and the other settings could be used for the not quite so confident.

With the bar on its stiffest setting the car takes tight corners like never before, the front has sooo much bite and my vrs regularly lifts the inside rear wheel on islands, even in the wet.

the bar also seems to hold the front inside wheel down giving less wheel spin on the exit to the corner where the diesels torque is doing its best to spin the wheel.

my only gripe is that the fit out of the box is not great, i had to reshape the brackets and open up the holes to get it to fit around the rear beam.

i think the jabbasport one is a better design with the straps around the bar instead of the u-clamps that the whiteline one comes with, but for £100+ saving its worth it if your willing to tweek it during fitting.

Interesting reading............It was just to gauge an interest as like others I need to see what payday brings. Also not a lot (myself included) of people want to spend £200 + on a suspension mod but if its half the price and does the same job then there is nothing wrong with educating people.

Demon Tweeks stock their stuff, though I've looked and last time they didn't list this bar.

Re: Possible Group Buy: Rear ARB

I could be tempted depending on price.

Eventually I'll be getting front and rear Whiteline adjustable bars, but right now I've got other things I need to spend my money on. like a leather retrim

They also make non-adjustable bars and spherical drop links BTW.

Re: Possible Group Buy: Rear ARB

JUST GOT TWO BARS AVAILALBE ! I've let the MK4 Golf boys know so they won't hang around for long...as and when good stocks are available perhaps an official group buy can be organised. Just to clarify no one was kept waiting having paid last time. My new policy is cancel any order I can't fulfill in a week as it just creates bad feeling.

Whiteline Anti-Roll Bars SKODA OCTAVIA all models Alfa Romeo BMW VW

cheers

Re: Possible Group Buy: Rear ARB

That's the wrong ARB, it's the Polo 9N that would be needed for the Fabia.....
