Rear Anti Roll Bar

[PhatPhil]

Just thought I'd share this with you as I couldn't see it on the H&R website.

Emailed them the other day about various bits and bobs for the Ibiza Cupra TDI

Turns out they have just launched the REAR anti roll bar for the car.

Part number is 33325-2

If this changes the handling anything like it did on my Golf then your in for a treat!! Bye bye understeer

 

[stoneyfordNI]

jabba sport where working on one too , any idea on cost

 

[devonmikeyboy]

[stoneyfordNI]

[devonmikeyboy]

This is the H+R site stoneyford.No sign of the roll bar though.http://www.hrsprings.com/site/index.html

 

[stoneyfordNI]

no signs of SEATS full stop already had looked , or polos

 

[PhatPhil]

It's not on the website guys - www.h-r.com

I'm getting in touch with the UK distributor and possibly running a group buy on these

 

[stoneyfordNI]

thinks thats the TUV cert. just like a BS standard thing, basically means they can trace a single batch if something happens me thinks, means damm all

So its 20mm but since technically we havent got a anti roll bar on the back at the moment dont know how to compare it to what i have at the moment plus i dont want to have 20mm front and rear really.I would need alot more info before i buy one but definately very interested.

 

[PhatPhil]

I was a bit unsure till I read up on it on UK-MKIVs. Then I fitted the Eibach kit on my Golf. 22mm front and 25mm rear. Didn't have a rear fitted as standard. It REALLY does make a difference.

I know how they work its just that i have got 20mm antiroll bar up front at the moment so i dont want a 20mm on the rear really as i have always been told that a car needs bigger roll bar on the rear as you did with your golf (22mm front 25mm rear ) and as i dont have a roll bar on the rear i dont know how to measure the strengh of what i have on the rear at the moment to the 20mm H+R bar plus as i just stated if a car is ment to be more firm on the rear then the front surely since i have already got 20mm roll bar on the front the rear setup would be firmer ie more then what a 20mm roll bar would be.Would like some techie minded person to say i am wrong

 

[PhatPhil]

Yeah I know what your saying. I just put the 20mm rear size down to the Ibiza being smaller and lighter than the Golf

Jabbas Rear ARB is 22mm

 

[devonmikeyboy]

20mm for a rear does seem small to me since a PD 160 cupra has 20mm front, 130bhp has 19mm and 100 bhp has 18mm, Going to bed now get up at 4.30am for work.

Jabbas Rear ARB is 22mm

Doesn't mean that it's stiffer though.... or made to the same specification

different materials have different characteristics

I'd sooner trust a company that is proven in making stuff (H&R) than someone who buys in & rebrands.

According to www.Motorsportworld.co.uk That part number is for the front ARB 20mm

You then have H-33325-1 which again is a 20mm front ARB but for coilovers.

Nothing else is listed

So I take it infact H&R do not make a rear ARB?

 

[Neo_VR]

Ive now got the Jabbasport rear arb on my car and its f00kin awesome!

its difficult to explain how much better it makes the car to drive! if H&R do one... GET IT!!!

Will let you know
