Anyone tried the whiteline 24mm rear rollbar?? Might be thinking about getting this as dpm performance sell it for £165
-
Yep, I've got both front and rear but had the rear fitted first (farb 6 mths after). Defo worth doing, the rarb makes turn in a lot sharper, gets rid of nasty under steer at road speeds. Can't compare it against other arbs out there as its the only after market one I've tried.

Cheers mate,Anyone else has got this fitted
-
havent tried any others, but noticed the benefits from this immediately, pushes the nose of the car less now and just turns in
-
Another silly question before I order..did the car feel more planted with the rear roll bar fitted??
-
Yes to certain extent but now I've had the front ARB fitted it feels properly planted. If I'd known how it would feel with both I'd have got both fitted at the same time.

i just ordered a whiteline rear sway bar.
i will do the front when i can be arsed but the front is a bigger job and ideally needs a lift. the rear is easy to fit and makes the biggest difference.

The rear is easier to fit but it makes no sense unless you buy the front one also.
By fitting the rear ARB you will make the car lose grip at the back sooner than it looses grip in the front. But the car would/should be even slower than stock (loosing grip sooner than stock) on many occasions.
My advice when buying ARB's is go for both front & back.
