Next up on my list of tihngs to do is tyres for my new wheels, and US spec rear lights.  It'll have to look like a 4x4 for a while until I get some springs.

Then I'll get the ARB and bushes sorted, and probably get some Eibach springs fitted at the same time.

have you actually got your front ARB now Bob as i noticed there was a few cock ups on the group buy on Eibach's part 

[bobbarley]

No, end of November apparently!  I'm not impressed.  I told Damien to ask Eibach to give us a further discount for all the trouble they've caused, but he won't do it.

fecking hell - thats been going on for nearly two months or so now hasn't it?? 

[bobbarley]

Yeah, I've been waiting two months for my ARB now.  Considering I was only saving a small amount of money, it's an utter joke on Eibach's part!

If It doesn't come by the end of November I've said I want a refund.

that is pretty crap mate

The only up side is I don't need the ARB yet, MOT isn't until February I believe.  Then I just need what, £125 for the springs.  £250 for some tyres, then it's going to be about £500 to get everything fitted!

Gonna take the car to the MOT with the rear brakes as they are, as I think VW were lying when they said they would fail, there's LOADS of pad and disc left.

£500 to get everything fitted??? i'd shop around mate - ARB is probably a couple of hours and the springs are around 30 minutes per corner

don't pay £500 whatever you do!!! have you got a quote from Awesome??

That's based on using Awesome mate.  They want about £270 just to replace the bushes, or £470 to replace bushes and ARB.  I can get the price down a bit as I'm supplying my own ARB, but then I need to add on the cost of fitting springs.  Plus I need four tyres fitting and balancing.
