Just been having a browse at the rear anti-roll bar kit from jabbasport...... just wondering if anyone has got one fitted and if its any good....like a noticable difference??? cheers

Use the search facility

from what I've read its ALOT better than the whiteline one.. .:-)

I've got the whiteline one...more fun around the corners now. Took under an hour for me to fit.

I have white line fitted at the moment, its really good at doing what its designed for but I will say make sure your bushes up front are not worn as you will notice under steer more with a RARB.

I got the jabba and its very good, I haven't used a whiteline one so I can't compare the two. Rarb one of the best mods I've done.

I had a Jabba one fitted and it improved the handling noticeably. However I eventually removed it because the daily journeys involved driving over multiple speed bumps and the ride at the rear was too firm for comfort when crossing them.

Selling it...?

Couple of users have tried both ... Xa0s? Maybe. And seems the jabbasport one is a noticeable step up over white line

Surely they're both shaped metal rods to stiffen the axle? How much more advanced can the JS one be over WL?

Thickness. Plays a big role in ARBs.

See the graph there, Jabba is 75% stiffer if I'm reading it right!

It seems on standard suspension the Whiteline does a very good job, but when your running ultra stiff KW coilovers the whiteline doesnt make much difference, where as the jabbasport one does. Make of that what you will.

I run the Jabba one, completes my car but then it is ridiculously stiff, probably to much for most..lol

^^^What they said.

tried both, whiteline did nothing, fitted jabba, did nothing.. removed it... felt no difference?

might be my coilovers already being good enough.. kw v3's

I'm bumping this thread as I'm looking into which rear bar to go with.

Any one with anything they can add?

More clearly what was said before maybe... Either makes a difference (positive and noticable) with OEM or moderately modified suspension (lowered springs, say 25-30mm lower). Those who have very low and very stiff setups may not notice much - if any - difference (lowered 50mm+ with stiff coilovers).

My experience of the Jabba bar: It certainly works, it's possibly a bit on the stiff side but the flip side of that is that the rear end is progressive rather than the lurchy bin of smelly trousers that the OEM setup encouraged. Installed properly it's effectively silent, no rattles or creaks. The car feels neutral cornering unless playing with the throttle. In brake-to-turn (T junctions etc) or in setting off from a side road it props the rear end up, keeping the outside front wheel on the ground and reducing the tendency for lack of traction, wheelspin and ASR.

I just picked up a second hand Jabba one today. Needs a bit of a refurb but will let you all know how I get on :-)

Look forward to hearing that. Where did you find the bar from?

This sounds good. Most users of the WL bar run it at stiffest setting and still say it could do with more. Perhaps this is because the WL rear bar is best used with an uprated front, and the Jabba works well on its own...?

Either way, good feedback, thanks. Sounds like the Jabba may be worth an extra £90 after all

Just be careful with tyre selection and placement. Today I found that Conti sport 1s have less grip than Rainsport 2s. I had an audence too!

Is was on purpose wasn't it?

I'm almost convinced on the Jabba. Only reason I can find not to is if I decide to run a front bar too. Will the rear (non-adjustable) be too much for the front as well.

It's an unlikely event, and I'm overthinking the whole thing, but still, anyone tried running front and rear bars?

I have a friend with an ibiza cupra and he runs front and back bars. white line on the rear for adjustability.

Does having both braces on not increase wear on the tyres at all?
