I've read on the internet that if I lower my car 100mm my ARB will rub on something.....is this true? :huh:

If so can I chop it off?

Will any other ARBs fit?

Will adjustable drop links work?

Best advice I have seen recently (on the Mk4 forum) is you can simply run without it. Slammed on coilovers -ARB apparently still gives good handling.

Perhaps running slammed without one is the new "going commando"  :grin:
