Mk4 golf estate rear anti roll bar or not
Discussion
Not REALLY sure exactly what you are asking there, but here is my best guess at answering the question I am not clear of.
An anti-roll bar is mounted at each end by drop links generally, this being the case, with the same drop links fitted the anti-roll bar angle will be slightly different if the car is lowered which will basically affect nothing.
Your car probable already has a rear anti-roll bar.

On a mk4 golf, I’m firmly in the not worth it camp if retaining standard suspension, I’ve had half a dozen of them and they handle very averagely, even when new, a precision tool they are not, safe and stodgy is the order of the day, I’d also keep the wheels under 17”, otherwise the ride suffers badly, so you end up with a crashy safe and stodgy car.
I found all of mine to be incredibly dull and not a drivers car by any stretch, nice things though, still see loads of them around.

Upgrading the rear anti roll bar on the mk4 Golf platform, usually Whiteline, H&R or Eibach (typically in the 22-23mm range) is likely to be one of the best £for£ investments/changes you can make.
Using the opportunity to refresh the drop links and as many easily accessible bushes & changing the front lower control arms with R32 spec bushes along with a geometry setup will transform a mk4.
When it comes to suspension, if you are aiming for a 20-40mm drop then going with Bilstein shocks & eibach or H&R springs is a very good improvement in performance without sacrificing ride quality.
Making the above changes to the setup will be a million times better than any ebay £200-750 coilovers will ever achieve

I prefer your answer, I'll have a look around Using the opportunity to refresh the drop links and as many easily accessible bushes & changing the front lower control arms with R32 spec bushes along with a geometry setup will transform a mk4.
