I want to fit an anti-roll bar to my 6n 8v to try and improve its handling. What I want to know is can I pick up one of these second hand at the breakers? If so were they fitted to the 16v / 6n2 or particular engines and is it a straight swap to my 6n?
Cheers boys!
Anti roll bar!

Hi mate. I have a 6n polo 1.4 16v and it does have an anti roll bar fitted as standard, im sure all 16v have them not sure if the 1.6 6n models have them too, I would look for one from a scrappers if i were you. Not sure on the fitting side of things im afraid mate.

All 6N 1.6 engined and 16v's & all diesels have anti-roll bars. Try to get one from a mk5 gti though, there 2mm thicker then the mk4 (or you should get your hands on a mk4 gti one from germany)
Even better, get one from Eibach, as I did, those are 24mm thick
handles like a true maniac now

For real? Kind of doubting that they will stay clear of the chassis when you got a well lowered car though. Hopefully they suplly you with new bushing too, you have no idea what a pain in the .... it was to get that Eibach into the bushings
EDIT
Just looked over on the Neuspeed website, but can't seem to find them

Can you get them for £115 mate?
Jarno - They are listed for the Ibiza 3/golf 2 chassis, probably why you couldn't find them.
I assure you they fit though.

Well, I did found those, but as the mk5 rearaxle/beam does not fit a mk4 chassis (I don't know why, but I doesn't fit) so these anti-roll bars will also probably not fit either on the mk4 rearaxle/beam.
I myself have tried to fit a mk5 rearaxle/beam on a mk4 (onto the bi-turbo powered mk4 of my m8s) and it didn't swap, therefor the Ibiza 6K Cupra rearbeam is the only option with an integrated corsion-bar (that does swap over, which is strang compared to the mk5 not being swappable)
