The H&R ones get a great write up with the S3 boys but have you seen the price :sad:, ran Eibachs on the mk5 but had them fitted at the same time as the coilovers, the set-up was spot-on but don't know how much of it was the ARB's

ps your goin mod mad :laugh:

Hurdy uses the hollow Autotech Lightweight ones.

Some people use the Eibachs, I think Robin....

I've been told that H&R make a very very good set of anti roll bars for the GTI, and they will be my choice in a couple of months  :happy2:

Although, my tuner (Tuningwerkes) says that the H&R ARBS are the best, but there is not much between them and the Eibach ones in the real world

What prices have you found for the H&R? I've found the front and rear for £375 including VAT.

I spoke to Sean (TT) at Inters and he isn't too happy with the whiteline ARB's. I think he's after something with even more control. :happy2:

The Autotech lightweight ARB's are very good.......now that I have the uprated brackets!!

The added benefit is that they are around 30% stiffer weight for weight than the equivalent upgrades elsewhere. Normal solid ARB's weigh more than the OEM versions. These weigh less. :smiley:
