One thing that's putting me off ultra racing is there's a big banner about fakes on their website. :think:
You can buy direct from their EU webiste http://www.ultraracingeurope.com/brandinfo

^ Cheers matey I'll do that if I end up deciding on UR.

Where can I get a tanabe in the UK? I've seen them on fleabay but for silly shipping costs.

Looks like the best one to get would be made by Progress, but that's only available for the 5th :(

Tanabe can be had from Funkypower, probably a few places. Talking 200+

Woah, that's a pretty impressive breakage!! :shock:

I had a similar problem, when I put my Scirocco in for it's MOT they flagged up that the bracket on one of the front wishbones had snapped in half and the ARB was off doing it's own thing :? I fitted a new bracket and the car feels so much better to drive now :lol:

Anti roll bars ftw!! :D

I think the OEM bars might be the same, but the Progress bar looks very different to OEM. I don't think there's any chance of it clearing my 4WS business.

So it'll have to be Tanabe, UR, or Whiteline... They're all about £150 after some price searching.

Pretty sure the rears are the same. Ultra racing list the rear bar as 92-00.
