Uprated front and rear arbs
#2
You'll need to check the trailing arm shafts and have them machined if required for some larger ARB's as most won't take anything bigger than about 26-27mm - certainly a 30mm bar won't fit the majority of standard shafts.

A 30mm rear ARB is massive though - standard GTi spec is 24mm.

The "hybrid" ARB is something else and much smaller

GTi's use a 21mm front ARB. There is a 22mm option available that's used on some Berlingo/Partner vans from memory, but to be honest you probably don't want to go much stiffer on the front ARB anyway as it's only going to reduce traction/grip on the inside front wheel. Increasing spring rate would be a better bet.
