My new suspension and ARBs were fitted yesterday but only went out last night with the Mrs in the car so couldnt fully test :wink:
-
Knew it,it's without doubt the second best thing to do on a mk4,i can tell if a mk4 has one even as a passenger.How does it feel now you've had it a few days? Does the rear bite hard when cornering :wink:
-
im after one for mine, but not sure where the best place to get one from?
where did you get your's?
and are they easy anoth to fit, as i have access to a ramp.
-
This is the arb i have http://www.awesome-gti.co.uk/product.php?xProd=3834&xSec=146 Easy to fit,all i used was a jack and axle stands.
-

Yeah it is a little steep,but i run a 26mm front arb so i need a big fecking chunky 28mm rear arb to reduce the understeer.My car corners flat(go-kart style),but it is also tail happy and WILL swing the back end out when pushed hard.My rear tyres have started to tear on the treads :grin: Don't let this put you off though,a smaller set up will be much easier to live with if you don't want to go sideways.

I got front and rear Eibach for £180 :grin: :grin:

:grin: Well yep had a longer run today to/from work and iirc i have to use 13 roundabouts :grin: impressions are very good tbh certainly wants to corner more positively went you point the front end in the rear now wants to follow immediately and not a few secs later :wink: even in the torrential downpour on the way home :evil: yep the rear bites hard :wink: love it!! a worthy upgrade imo few pics of how it looks

pleased you mentioned that steve when i first looked at the arb i thought mm 4 holes their instructions make it look like 3 (soft,med,hard) :huh: even when i set it up yesterday i tried to get it to the fourth hole and no way would it even go near :angry: so it is just the 3 then? has anyone managed to get theirs to the fourth hole? :undecided:
-
it is the forth hole is useless on the mk4
It works the other way my friend,he's on medium.

cheers patch probably set it to the hard setting over the weekend giving me two days more to get used to it on medium :grin: :wink:
-
It should improve things,i remember moved up from girly soft setting too medium(fitted coilies at the same time) and boy did it make a difference.I darn't go to hard while i'm on the steelies with 205's.
