The safest option is to sell your current ARB, and buy the front and rear pair from APR. You are then guaranteed of having a well balanced handling car.
The other option is workout what the stock anti-roll bars are and increase the stiffness front and rear by 50%, or maybe %60 rear, %40 front, for better turn in and less under steer..
There is nothing wrong, going stiffer on the front since you are stiffer at the rear as long as you don't go too stiff.
You need to know what you have at the moment. To get an idea you can measure the diameter of the front and rear with vernier calipers

Thanks would it be smart to sell the rear and buy APR rear again with front? I rather keep what I have already saves me trouble.
The back (whiteline) is 24mm and I don't know what the front is but I'd say about 20mm so I could go up... but I don't know if it's really worth it. This is why i'd rather drive one or passenger one before taking the plunge.

I had a chat with the guy from APR just recently, he is an absolute gentleman and a scholar.
I would tell him what you have and ask him whether his front roll bar will work with the rear you already have. I am sure he will help you out. I give him 5/5 for customer service.
Ok awesome thanks buddy ill give him a bell, name per chance?
I'm still and eager if anyone offers I'd love to test drive a 6R with handling upgrades already!

Can't remember his name now, just call him on 1300 730 949.
In a recent test against other cars, his Polo 6R Gti had the fastest cornering speed, so the guy obviously knows how to set-up a car properly.
