   obviously a 25mm will cost a shed load more than nicking one off a car

   Is it even worth it moving from a 24mm to a 25mm?

    Rushy's point is a good one. The 106 GTI had a 24mm rear ARB as standard, whereas the VTS has a 22mm rear ARB as standard. Your best bet would be to get one from a 106. I can't see there being any massive benifit going from 24mm to 25mm, especially when a 25mm will set you back around £250!

    would a 26mm stiffen things up a lot? if i was to put one in my furio would i notice the difference?

    24mm is better than 25mm imo. depends how you like your car to handle and how your front is setup though.

    no, the front ARB isn't worth arsing with.
    
    250quid for a 25mm? I forgot they cost so much.
    
    Can probably have mine for 150quids

    If someone was very serious in buying all of it (there must be about 2500quids worth of kit there) then I'd flog it. TBH, I'd take 3k for the whole car at the moment

    £250 for arb, you not getting mixed up with torsion bars. you need to have a go in cars with different size arbs to see what you like best.
    10 has smaller front arb than saxo.
