Rear anti-roll bar yay or nay?

[Baron_Samedi]

Hi All,

I get a bit narked with the understeer of my car on roundabouts and the like.

Would an anti-roll bar counter this phenomenon enough to make spending the money worthwhile?

Ta!

With decent tread on tyres, dry weather and correct tyres pressures I find my Passat Estate handles pretty good and does not roll much at up to 8/10 motoring.
Wrong car choice to ear'ole maybe?

What car do you have?

What, if anything, have you done to the suspension?

My car is a 130hp Sport, which wallows mainly exiting roudabouts.

I would to like to tighten the ride to avoid the missus bouncing around the place!

As you have the sport you're already riding on stiffer springs and at a lower ride height but the Passat is a floaty boat.

An ARB is a good addition. A friend of mine fitted rear spacers (15mm) and added a rear ARB and said the car handled like he always wanted it to handle.

Be careful though, it's addictive.
