Anti-roll bars-do they make a differnce?......Of course they do! Theyre sweet!
Just fitted front and rear bars to my mk2 1.2 on 15's with standard suspension and they make
one hell of a difference
especially the front one. I used to get severe bodyroll on corners, it felt like the car might flip if
i went faster than 30.
But now u can throw it round corners with no probs at all, im well chuffed. Anyways easy job
to fit-about 1 hour and thats only because i had to use a crappy scissor jack

I would like to thank PAUL JACKSON for supplying them at a bargain price, he's a top bloke with
a v nice mota :D

I'll prob pop round for a bit of advice on fitting the big breaks we talked about if thats OK, i think thats the
way to go.
Speak to u soon ;)Tone

You need both front and rear or you will unballance the cars handling, the stiffer end will break away first causing overstear or understear.

You can get front ones dead easy from the scrappy.....any 1.2/1.3 Saloon, but rear ones are only on 1.3's up. GTE/GSi ones are larger diameter if you can get those.

Only 1.2 and 1.3 saloons have roll bars... 1.0s don't, and I fucked up above.....I said only 1.3 and up have rear roll bars. That's true of the hatch, but not the saloon :'>
