Also what size are they.

I'm sure I once read earlier GTi's might have had a different front ARB but most will be 20mm as mentioned above.

GTi = 20 or 21 (after October 3, 2005)
GTi 180 = 21
SW with 138 engine = 22

Not so sure why anybody would want a thicker front ARB.

Better steering on track. And I agree. On the non smooth surface like bumpy roads thicker front ARB cause understeer. But on highways and track its really good.

not too sure; and is also depends on what spring rate you got at the front.
i prefer the handling without front ARB, perfectly fine on smooth tarmac.
