I am intrested in changing my front antiroll bar on my 205 gti, for a mk1 309 gti antiroll bar. I have been told that they are 24mm. Do you no if this is true? If so, Does anyone have one for sale on here?

They are bigger but I'm unsure of the actual dimension. Have you changed the one at the rear?

Stiffer front end will mean more understeer.

If a car is properly set up suspension-wise it shouldn't even need ARB's.

But by all means try one and see what it's like.

309 rear beam axle has slightly wider track used quite commonly for making 205's handle better

Not neccessarily - I'd say differently.

Thanks for that lads, One other question, Do you no if 306 gti6 rear beams fit on 205's and if they are wider? Just a thought, as i saw a 309 advertised with a 306 gti rear beam on it.

306 rear beam doesn't fit the original mounting points, but I've heard of it being used before.
