handling i guess, although its been improved quite a bit simply with the springs iv heard fitting the arb and lowering makes the ride very harsh
neither bother me a great deal

Jesus man! Go see a doctor ASAP you sound like my dad! 
In all seriousness though i'd say the ARB then remap.I found the handling of the VRS a tad on the wobbly side..The first thing i actually noticed was how stiff the suspension was which was nice but when pushed it did get a bit wibbly.
Always thought the brakes were fine

Are the brakes you want off an Octy VRS? That's a good mod.

i dont see how an arb will make the ride harsh, when i fitted front & rear on mine no difference on the road until a corner when you could fully tell the difference

That looks like them, 312mm ones, they cost quite a bit more than 107 quid though.
for the fabia you need discs, pads, calipers, carriers

[typicalsteveanswer]Put it towards a 106GTI[typicalsteveanswer]

Are you not listeninig steve, arb without a doubt.
You aren't that bothered about the brakes and although slightly rarer now they will turn up again.
