yes a rs1600i roll bar will fit. the rs1600i roll bar mounting brackets are alloy and in one pice and the tie bars have bushes at the front of them were as the s1 one the mounting bit is in 3 pieces and the front tie bar joint has a rose joint kind of thing. i have no idea if there is any difference in performance

series 1 ARB is by far the BEST!!! rs1600i are alloy, where as the S1's are solid.. keep the S1 mate..

16i set up is better actually

Not only is it lighter but its adjustable jointed ends means you are able to change the castor

Both have adjustabel castor and both have rose joints in the front of the tie bars. The anti-roll bar on the S1 version is just non-existent.
