Not sure what the differences between the two are other than the TBs twist to keep the wheels on the ground and ARB prevents roll, drive nice/faster/less roll with the bigger arbs than tbs?
It's a stronger connection between the rear wheels from what I gather, the top hairpin at Prescott hill climb is a good example, you see standard rear beam cars cock the inside wheel but the wheel drops down a long way in the arch, while in pictures of my car at the same place my inside wheel is off the floor but remains tucked up inside the arch.
I notice the difference going into large roundabouts the most, the back feels really planted and doesn't roll the weight to one side like you can feel on a standard car. Not as easy to provoke the classic 306 lift off oversteer, but if you push past its limit it'll let go big time lol
Cheers for explaining that, so what does the tb do if the ARB does that aha? Just wanting to know why youd upgrade the tb vs ARB and why.
Not cheap at £175 from Spoox for the torsion bar, but sounds as if it would be worth it as I know what you mean about the lean/rear roll with the standard GTI rear axle/24mm ARB. Going for the Xsara VTS 2.4/2.6 Steering Rack first though as that would make a big difference!
Those P1 front brakes look the dogs danglies though! Cant imagine them being very friendly with the wallet though
