That's a good read, but never really know how different it will be with a rear ARB until its on YOUR car and with your driving style i guess!

I may be tempted to give it a go anyway... but have had my reservations with strut braces...

Says it fits the Polo 9N, but I'm absolutely certain I read somewhere that it fits the 6N2 as well.

I think it was Mouse_GTi that got one fitted? I have a memory like a fish!

EDIT - Some more info from Jabbasport too...

Yeah I also heard it fits the 6N2 and Ibiza MK3
I think Briskoda are doing a group buy at the moment with Awesome GTI so it would be a good time to get one. Awesome do charge nearly £80 for fitting though :(

Would it really be that hard to fit? I'd rather try myself than pay someone £80 to fit it.

Yeah their not that difficult to fit it just makes life easier when the car is on the ramps.
£80.00 fitting is crazy to be fair. My mate bought one recently for his Fabia vRS and I will be helping him fit that next weekend so were hoping its pretty straight forward.
