Hi All,
After reading through many of the posts I see that the ride can be really improved by upgrading the arb’s. For me, most of the roll is felt in the back, so can I just fit the rear arb?
If it’s ok and would not upset the general handling, would I see or feel much improvement by just doing this?
Or if this is a silly idea, should I fit the front bar as well?

If fitting either one or both bars would I need to have the wheel alignment checked again?

Thanks in advance.
 
ARB's need fitting as a pair to get full benefit. ARB's have no affect on tracking. Only spring/ride height alterations can change it.

Nothing to stop you fitting the rear and going for a road test, your Cali to do with as desired.

H&R ARB's transformed mine. Don't tip the passenger out of her seat when I get a bit enthusiastic now.
 
We had HD ARB's fitted as a factory fitted option. They are fitted to both front and rear, and I can't really understand, apart from cost, why you would only fit them to the rear. I think the cornering stability is now extremely good considering the weight of the vehicle.
They are now not on the options list for a T6.1 and I've been told they are a standard fitment.
 
Generally they don’t need fitting as a pair. What does need to happen is there should be a front one before you fit one at the rear.

Fitting rear only will make it a bit oversteery.

VB air suspension is the way I chose; self levelling, off road, sports mode and car park mode gets it down to under 1.9 metres.
