not for the front i got A+ hubcentric ones (bolt thru) and just got the longer bolts from them to and then got some longer lockers as well so you would need if going say 15mm you need 43-45mm bolts as your running Rs4 reps then a taper 60degree seat bolt is what you need :wink:

Post by: Dan_GTI on 15 March 2010, 16:13: cheers :cool:

will try and find the bolts online, get them sorted and bolted on and ill post some pics :evil:

found what the rattle was too, the metal wire that sits on the outside of the caliper has gone awol and the pads must be vibrating :embarassed:

Post by: Dan_GTI on 15 March 2010, 20:57: the tyres only just clear the shocks, the driveshaft on driverside hits the arb thats why you need an uprated one, does the fk arb have the same size outer loops to clear as the eibach?

Post by: Steve_PD on 15 March 2010, 21:15: there's a GB on ukmivs for a whiteline arb or you could try adjustable droplinks

Post by: rench on 15 March 2010, 22:20: i take it only hits over bumps? not notiched mine yet anything to listen look out for?
Title: Re: Coilovers fitted with RS4 TT Reps
Post by: Wazzzer on 15 March 2010, 22:55: I would imagine his hits due to it being low (like any coilover owner lol)

Post by: rench on 15 March 2010, 22:59: lol mine is but havent noticed any problems yet.

Post by: Dan_GTI on 17 March 2010, 23:32: I can hear the driveshaft knocking the arb when i hit bumps in the road so ive been taking it steady everywhere and it doesnt really knock, just not sure if i can get away with just fitting adjustable drop links or if ill need to fit a uprated ARB? can someone answer my query? :undecided:
