    Anti Roll Bar replacement

    Any views on replacing 11 year old RS2 ARBs ? Mine have surface corrision.

    I have had the front ARB bushes replaced but should I just go the 'whole hog' and replace both ??

    I dont reckon you need to replace them, just wire brush them down and repaint with something like hammerite

    I'd replace the drop links and jobs a good one.

      If you do replace them, I'll take the front one off your hands!!! :mischeif:

      You could get the old ones sand blasted and powder coated if you want to do the job 100% properly but might cost nearly as much as a new one!

        Clean them up nice and Waxoil them, the paint comes off pretty quick in the harsh environment under the car and also they're a torsion spring so they flex. New drop links is a good idea.
