        Ive got a RS2 H&R Cup Kit + Alloy topmounts that I could be talked into letting go. Suspect the freight from down under would be a bit of a killer though

          Hi, I don't think a Whiteline will fit your RS2. I think you need a Neuspeed bar.
          19mm is stiffer (better) than an 18mm and the Neuspeed has 3 settings via it's two holes either side. As said above a recommended modification.

          I'm about to fit new Bilstein dampers on OEM springs as I do not wish to lower the car or have a ride that loosens teeth! Loosing 30mm around here would be bad with all of the speed bumps in the roads....

            Whiteline only make S2 Coupe Anti Roll bars are you sure you've ordered the correct
            part?

            Unless whiteline make an S4 option which will also fit the S2 Avant

              quattronics has made an model that is bolt on to rs2 with new brackets

              Lloyd: neuspeed is 19mm but a hole inside the bar
              whiteline is 18mm without any holes inside.

                OK, the whiteline bar is heavier than the neuspeed.
                I think torsional stiffness is proportional to diameter power 4

                Assuming identical lever arm length, that means the neuspeed
                is just over 24% stiffer than the whiteline.

                I've probably forgotton something but think this is about right.

                  Interesting I will still be buying the Neuspeed version however

                    i have the neuspeed rarb and im very pleased with it even on the mild setting.

                    Bilsteins+OEM springs is the best compromise to have for a road car + speed bumps.Body roll is reduced but apparent.

                    Hoping to make a custom coilover kit though to serve all my needs
