Benn I've got the aftermarket S1 lower arms(Adjustable) & 1600i tension struts but have done away with the ARB completely, only to be considerd if you plan on running coilovers and get the spring rate right.

Best way to see is have a look at Tonys Rs fella, i think he has the Turbo Technics set-up
Simular to the Rs1600i version, i think.

Yeah I do, but that's like rocking horse shit. He won't need that because it's an S1, RSi version will be best, if you can get one.

Remember the S1 ARB is thinner, but solid. The RS1600i ARB is thicker, but hollow.

So pretty much the same then? Would solid bars be as strong as hollow ones?
