    The front one no, you need an RS2 FARB.

    The rear one fits, search forum for neuspeed and the thread by S2avant showing installation

            I would hazard a guess if you type rs2 farb in the search box you'll find the answer your looking for regarding PN

            Price they were 4 years ago £70 then they went up to £230 I don't know what the current price is

              Whiteline also makes one for the Avant, 90GBP including shipping, have just fitted it to mine. Well impressed with it so far ! 18mm and it has made a huge difference compared to the stock S2 Avant one...

                FYI...I have just had my standard RARB swapped for an RS4 version....it's 15mm, you can get them quitre cheaply as the RS boys are always upgrading theirs, and it has made such a difference...

                  It's the same as the Whiteline RS4 bar when I spoke to Awesome GTI, however did you get seperate mounting brackets to the subframe with yours?

                  Have you got any pics?

                  I'm leaning to the Neuspeed as I already have an RS2 RARB

                        No,i got a whiteline on the rear of my avant and NO bracket to go with it like the neuspeed anti-roll bar. But i was told that you could buy them.
                        Just some finishing touches to do now

                            How come the Avant RARB comes without a bracket but the Coupe one does? Bit odd. Are the brackets that different?

                              My understanding is that the Avant RARB stock brackets are suitable for much stiffer ARB's but the subframe flexes a bit which is not "really" desirable though not a real problem. Neuspeed supplies brackets to prevent the flexing of the subframe.

                              The coupe Whiteline RARB supplies brackets as it's an adjustable set-up with 3 different RARB positions of stiffness.
