TT 1.8t 225bhp engine into my A2

What is the purpose of the ARB when the rear axle itself is anti roll bar?

I can tell you from experience, it makes the handling much sharper!

If you are old enough to have driven a 205 1.9GTI hard into a corner, you would understand .

So I have fitted to braided brake line to the front now and changed the fluid .

Car is back down on the wheels again.

Going to have to leave it there for a couple weeks .

But will update the build soon .

Lift off oversteer? I am old as the 205 so I haven't opportunity to do but heard about it. But it is more about axle geometry than adding sway bar. If it has too much toe in then sway bar won't magically change it to 205 GTI. Just my opinion and I would like to see some proof that it make difference. E.g. comparable lap times

I fitted the rear bar about 4 years ago, when I fitted the 1.6 engine into the car . It Helped with weight transfer on Corning . But now I have poly bushed the rear end too .

Car was already running gas shocks and 30mm lowering spring around.

With the TT alloys and car runs a wider track too.
