| Rear ARBs Yo.... I wanna get a rear ARB for my Veyron-beating Mustang-slaying Fabia, so who in here can kindly advise a good brand with a good price tag. As far as I'm concerned, it's a piece of metal that joins between the two rear wheels to minimise roll, but for a piece of metal, getting one here costs well over 350 pounds. Maybe the infamous Jabbies can help me out here?

| Re: Rear ARBs Jabbies are THE only ones doing a rear arb for the fabia at the moment (to the best of my knowledge) www.jabbasport.co.uk if you want to contact them. Not sure what shipping would be like to our your way though.

| Re: Rear ARBs You'll find it's a bit more than a 'piece of metal'. I'm sure it's tempered steel and is made to order from Jabba. If you were to use a 'steel bar' then it would last 5 minutes. It is truly an excellent mod.  |

might be worth getting a local fabrication shop to make you one.... after all, ther's only about £15 quids worth of metal used in one... | |

| Briskodian | Re: Rear ARBs Tom. Despite it's appearance, I very much doubt that it is "just a peice of normal cold rolled tubing" |

and for the record... i made the one that 's on my lupo and it is just normal cold rolled tubing and it is as hard as ar$eholes....... if it were tempered how do you think they could bend it when fabricating it without fracturing it??? Last edited by TeflonTom; 02-10-2006 at 10:36. | |

It's just one of those mods that will never be cheap because it works so damn well. I should imagine that to make a one off bar that would fit accurately would be a days work for an apprentice, which after powder coating or spraying and clamps for the beam would push the cost up around about £150 maybe more. | |

| Re: Rear ARBs So how much would Jabba charge for one plus shipping? I forgot their own section I'll go check there....
