Standard are 20mm bars. Xsara vts bars are 21mm. Do you not have an up rated anti roll bar? Keep an eye out for a hybrid rear bar they make more difference than 21mm bars IMO. I've had both.Mthere have also been group buys for 22 23 and 24mm bars I believe. ________________________________________ Black power baby!

If running coilovers with spring rate over 195lbs, I would recommend 22mm upwards for torsion bars.Give us more info, so we can give more definitive answers. what are the spring rate on the gaz? is the car a daily driver or track car? if you search, you will see that majority of people use b6 bilsteins and eibachs with 21mm torsion bars as a daily driver fast road/track set up ________________________________________ FRESHLY RE-FURBISHED GTI BEAMSFITTING AND LOWERING AVAILABLE.

Yup. As Andy knows that was my setup, 21mm bars B6 shocks solid mounts and hybrid ARB. But now I've stripped the car 21mm felt a bit bouncy to me so went for standard 20mm bars on my shiny new axle he built me. Though I think my b6's are getting somewhat tired now.________________________________________ Black power baby!

Personally I'd say so I find a stiff rear end jumps out over bumps round corners very easily but I know people who run 23's.________________________________________ Black power baby!

Depends on the weight in the rear and what you intend to do with it.Mine has f-all weight in the back so I run standard bars. Might go bigger at some point, but like it as it is tbh. ________________________________________ Nothing to see here |

I used to run 22.5mms and i found it too hard for these roads. It used to be very sketchy if cornering on a rough surface even at normal speeds. |

Well since you only wanted them a little harder then VTS ones will do the job, although you could get some b6 bilsteil rear shocks with standard bars as mine ie 205 is quite firm now.________________________________________ Pug fee`ver,Pick a Bogey, buy a Pug.
