well, what can i say. fitted mine today and its made a great improvement.
my gti was already pretty good in the corners as its on kw coilovers and i was dubious about the improvement i would see from the whiteline kit given the car was already pretty stiff but i really am surprised. its much more composed in general use but when pushing on the rear end stability is vastly superior. corner speeds are much higher now but it can be a little snappy on lift off but once use to it i cant see that being an issue.
fitting is incredibly easy, hardest part is getting the car high enough to crawl under. this was a chore on mine that involved driving onto blocks then jacking each corner adding more blocks to get to the ideal height.
overall, a well worth it mod... plus, cheap too, mine cost me just £50 and thats the best £50 i think ive ever spent on any car

Re: whiteline arb review
Have you just got the rear one and what stiffness setting is it on? I was thinking of doing both front and rear to mine but I don't want to shift the balance back forwards if its good with just the rear one...

Re: whiteline arb review
I have just the rear! never felt the need for the front to be honest!
My rear is on the stiffest setting and is not even twitchy! Put it this way it still needs persuading to lift off oversteer!
But it did make a massive difference! Was far to neutral before!
