I have fitted a rear ARB on my A2. It was obtained from Awesome and they list it for Mk5 Polo and Fabia. It is made by Whitelines costs £117 (BARGAIN) and its adjustable, soft/medium/hard. I am running it on the soft setting and even on that it makes a big difference. I never really felt my A2 had any problems getting round corners but last year on a visit to the ring the front tires were getting really hot and slippy. This year it was more balanced. It now feels like the front end is being towed round the corners. There is less wheel spin driving out of the slower corners and a little less body roll.
You will see I have re-shaped the supplied U-bolts. They probably would have done the job with no problems but I wanted maximum clearance around the axle as the car is slightly lowered.
Fitting the ARB was straight forward but me being fussy about the U-bolts the job took me around 2hrs.
