Title: Best place to buy an ARB
Post by: CraigDavieBeattie on 13 January 2011, 20:08

Alrite fellas, just wanted to know wheres best for buying an uprated ARB? with it being lowered roughly 70-80mm i am looking to buying one with the loop to save the driveshaft being re-done within a matter of time i guess. So wheres best to buy these?

Cheers, Craig.

Probably a neuspeed from awesome gti. I'm still tryin to save for the 28mm rear beast. Their guaranteed not to rub on the front as I've heard that some whiteline do and eibach don't have the 'big loops' and FK are pretty pony.....

I'm about to fit an R32 arb from vw onto mine and will be using adjustable droplinks with it.

Is that the same fitment then as r32 use different wishbones?

The R32 one is the same as the TT but thicker (23mm) and runs under the driveshaft to eliminate the driveshaft/arb fight. And using adjustable droplinks I can attach the arb to my standard gti wishbones.

Well I've seen the idea tried and tested on few of the cars from mkivs.net so gonna give it a go. The arb and bushes just arrived now from volkswagen costing me £104 with my discount  :wink:

Going on holiday on Monday but its booked for when I get back for a garage to fit it all.

Rear ARB yes,but the front H&R all the way,the hoop is even higher than my chassis notch so goes very very low.Might be coming off in the next few weeks though,we think it may hold me up once the air is fitted.
Yes,it will be for sale.

just read another thread of a google search about arb and it mentions the 4motion arb are they the same?
as the person was talking about changing it i.e for lowering purposes.
