just get an arb that goes under instead of over and you wont need them :wink:
-
Wish I had would have saved the hassle, but I was silly enough to get one with bigger loops, but they weren't quite big enough. :sad:
All sorted now tho and no issues with the awfull grinding noise. Lol
-
:laugh: exactly the same here fella
-
All good fun tho I suppose, part and parcel of what it's all about. :laugh:
-
tell me about it my car must have had every problem there is to have on a mk4 and more fecking golf :laugh:
-
I know what you mean my ecu decided to die on me the day I bought it :laugh: cost me alot to get that done, along with a list as long as your arm £700 later I got it back :evil:. But touch wood its been fine ever since. :cool:
-
So the shortened drop links will help my fk arb will it wish i bought another 1 now but if the shortened drop links work il be happy
-
Jonny it wont work mate it will still rub. Better off selling the arb you bought and buy a tt, vrs, 4motion, R32 or s3 arb. they all go under the drive shaft which is what you need for the lows you want :wink:
-
Cheers jamie boi will sell them on then wen i get it will i need shortened drop links for the arb i will need

I have the fk arb and have shortened the adjustable drop links and have no problems with it rubbing the drive shaft now.
-
The uprated arbs can help with lows but not by much I suppose it depends on how low u want to go. The shorter drop links arnt too great either iv had one snap on me in the past but that might just be bad luck. If you want decent lows with no rubbing then I would recomend you buy the above arbs I just mentioned.

Very true, it just depends on if you have bought an over the top loop rather than underneeth, wish I had bought a underneeth but happy with the results I have now with over the top. Lol. :smiley:

Johno can u post some pics of ur car and will the jom shortened drop links be ok or should i buy a set for u to shortern
-
Yea sure this is the adjustable vs the sortend one

And this is the gap between the drive shaft and fk arb on full lock. You can see where it has been rubbing previously but no longer rubbs.

That looks oryt Johno to be fair, can you take a pic of your car to show how low it is mate. Im impressed with the distance on that arb on full lock if your car is slammed :cool:

Johno
I've gone down the route of FK Konigsport Coilovers and Eibach ARB's front and rear. Same issue on the front for me......rubbing the drive shafts.
What size are the drop links that you've fitted to your car v the standard?
Thanks
Gregg

well if you have the over the top loop i would say get the adjustable ones and cut them down to suit.
But it is entirely up to you, or if you wanted i could cut them down for you, i wish i did a thread when i did them.
Looks good buddy. I like it.
Thanks mate, long way to go yet tho. :smug:

They are the adjustable ones from Venom motorsport, and i have just cut them down, think it was about an inch or just under that i cut off them. but it has stoped the rubbing. :smiley:
