just get a front one from a late 1.6 sport, they are the thickest.
it works out at about 100 quid from the dealers.
rears are all the same, just get some decent shocks and springs and a strut brace.

If u own a 1.4 8v 5door, u car should already have a rear anti roll bar (go check, its a metal bar that runs along inside ur rear axle, then get back to me)

However, you wont have a front one. These are real easy to fit and make quite a difference, especially to a lowered car! U'll need to go down to a scrap yard or ask on this board for a front anti roll bar off of a GSi/SRi......

Front is simple to fit, just jack car up and the roll bar attatches to both tie bars.

Any more help, just ask (coz i got a 1.2 8v which came with neither, so have had to fit both from scratch)

Matt

PS: very easy DIY job
