Looking into a Audi TT front ARB, but it is off a MK1 which is only 19mm, and im aware of the golfs being slightly thicker 22/23mm?, if i was to replace the bushes with the correct 19mm ones as MR Audi intended will it still fit and secure down nicely?
tried the search function but no joy. no mention of mk1 or mk2.
i know the r32 ones are better, but i need to know about the TT ones atm,.
regards

Yup TT one will fit. Was gonna fit one to my golf but got hold of an R32 one for cheap. Question is what suspension are you running?? Coilovers?? If so which ones as you gotta think about the droplink attachment
-
TT ARB will fit on standard droplink locations as long as you have adjustable drop links
-
i have coilovers, and adjustable drop links. but the drop links don't seem to work for sh!t, i get less rubbing with them adjusted down than i do with them extended.
so ok, 19mm audi tt roll bar with adjustable drop links gets the thumbs up?
cheers guys

to fit the TT ARB dont u need a mounting on the struts to fit ,as the TT ARB goes under the driveshaft whereas on the golf it goes on top of the driveshaft ..
-
see i was also thinking this, but they don't do a strut with DL flanges. im guessing it fits on at a obscure angle, he says you NEED adjustable DL's so i suppose there either going to have to be really long, or really short.
-
i have tt arb and i use adjustable drop links onto wishbones and no probs here!!

You CAN fit an TT ARB without the need for strut mounted drop links, I will find a pic on ED38 to prove it

i trust you fella lol

You supply the bits and I'll do it. I think most plans for the Golf are on hold till weather improves. Fed up of working on it when it's too cold! May get some adj. drop links and the bushes in ready though. Know anyone selling the appropriate ARB?

ebay ?? edition38 ?? ukmkiv's ?? theres none on here lol

I've had a look around but guess I'll wait till something pops up after next payday :afro:

b1gdub - thoes marks on your drive shaft, are they prior to fitting the TT ARB? or are you still getting contact?
white line are good, but very pricey for something not exactly beneficial to the every day driver.

they dont cost that much to buy brand new from TPS .... the earlier model have a plastic mounting on it and tehy are prone to crack so audi have now made them metal now ... u prob pick them up from breakers for 20-30 pound ..

After reading through a thread posted on here earlier, the early Whiteline ones were great, 2nd and 3rd revisions were not and only accomodated a drop of up to 50mm which is pointless as you buy these to go low. Standard bar does 50mm easily.
Looking into R32 one :cool:

neuspeed is much better as it goes under your driveshaft = no knocking what so ever !

Those marks were caused by the standard arb hooking OVER the driveshaft. Oh what a nightmare that was. Had no problems since fitting the R32 bar. I have now wound the fronts down a bit more now so the arches are literally just sitting over the tyres and I've had no problems.
If you decide to go with R32 bar from Vw then here are the parts you will need
R32 23mm ARB - 1J0411305AF
Rubber Bushes - 1J0411314T
Bush Mount Brackets - 1J04113360
In total cost me about £110 from TPS and then I had to get adjustable droplinks from veedubmachine for about £30

new ride height :cool:
