Fitted a rear anti roll bar to my 1.8T. A good used 18mm ARB and brackets along with new stainless steel bolts, drop links and bushes. It's made a noticeable difference to the handling and steering without any detriment to ride quality. £70 well spent.

While the back end was in the air and wheels off I stripped the rear calipers, cleaned and lubed before reassembly. The new pads I bought 'just in case' can go back to ECP as the existing ones have loads of meat still on them. Gave the suspension a brush to remove the build up of sand and salt collecting on the members and in the spring pan. Frustratingly the rubber spring seat on the OS arm covers the drain hole but to no obvious detriment.
