Hi fellow comrades,

 

Have been thinking about adding an after market anti roll bar to sharpen the handling of my spb.

 

any recommendations?

Neuspeed, Eibach, H&R, OMP ... not much choices I can think of ... hard to get your hands on them too unless you import them yourselves...

 

Can try approaching

 

Servo for Neuspeed

Hotwheels for Eibach (since they're the distributor for Eibach Springs)

Mikimarketing for OMP/Sparco

 

Can you use any meant for the Passat? or any OEM ones on the same platform? [:)]

Maybe check with Xinzhong for any OEM ones available [:p]

Hi

 

Seriously i also looking for it, if happen u find any good dealer for that, let me know or if i do find i will let u know too.

 

But for spore too find acss. for skoda in spore is a bit hard, more idea to find from oversea and try to import in. More range and cheaper even with taxes.

 

Keep in touch!!!

Am considering neuspeed, heard that it is easier to get replacement mounts and bushings if needed as opposed to the other brands.

 

I believe I can use the ARB made for passat platform.

 

For my spb, a new neuspeed arb is above $1K for front & back. Back being more expensive.

 

Finding a 2nd hand ARB is possible but suggest ordering new bushings.

 

Found out not worth it to bring in yourself, freight and taxes lah. But there are supplier in sg that will bring in for us if we want.

 

Will let you know if I find anything or anywhere.

I know, I was there when you were installing yours. Can't stop thinking about it. Move it up the mod priority list.

 

Is your sus stock?

Lamy,

 

I was actually considering ARBs too but decided to upgrade suspensions instead... the rational is that with ARBs, although you do get better handling in corners as this minimises body roll, the additional stiffness means that the carbody flex is transfered to other parts of the car leading to premature wear on these parts. Another reason is that when you do hard cornering, you lose feeling on when the car is going to loose traction in the bend. you can read up on this at Vagsg...

You are right.

 

I actually intend to do both, but doing the ARB 1st and shortly after the sus. No reason, well money actually. Can't afford to both at the same time. ARB being the cheaper of the two.

 

Besides I actually would like to feel what each enhancement does for the car.

Welcome, to the SOG brotherhood.

 

I am fairly new myself so I cannot tell you off hand. But I assume that you should be able to find one that fits, as skoda cars are based on the same platform as the VW.

 

I suggest that you call up the workshops listed in this car club, they should be able to tell you if there is one and how much.

I think so. If you know any other A5 owner being 'stranded' after they got their ride, you're welcome to refer them to the SOG.

 

CA is of no help. Guess you've already found that out by yourself after u got ur ride ? sly.gif

hi bro Nets

Welcome, and also kindly consider signing up for the Charity Drive around Singapore this Sunday, 8am, at ITE College East at Simei Avenue (to raise awareness and funds for disability sports). Would be great to see your new ride at the event!
