ARB kits

i have a 2016 vrs petrol estate, 25k miles

i'm looking at ARB kits and have a couple of questions

- is my car 'independent rear suspension' or 'non independent rear suspension'?

- any recommendations on what thickness front/rear works well?

 

i want to flatten the cars cornering a bit but don't want to dramatically change amount oversteer/understeer

thanks for any advice

The VRS has the 'multilink' rear suspension not the torsion beam. That's for certain

 

As far as ARBs are concerned I think you will have 24mm front, not sure what the VRS has on the rear but if it is an 18mm or 20mm quite a marked improvement can be had by fitting a 22mm rear bar of the Golf 7R 

 

Personally I wouldn't go much bigger than the Standard Golf R setup of 24mm/22mm without improving the suspension. You can mess things up and get the bars overpowering the springs and you lose the benefit of 'independent suspension' 

I've got a pair of neuspeed arbs on mine made a big difference plus fitting the front upper strut brace

How big are your ARB's and did you go with poly bushes as well?B)

They're both 25mm with the poly bushes

Next question, what is the vrs suspension strut outer diameter, 50mm or 55mm?
