Title: Urgent s3 arb help again
Post by: Felton on 10 April 2013, 13:57
Ok guys took my car in to have it fitted and they have fitted the bar just carnt get the drop links to fit as they are at to much of a angle they are adjustable ones and the guy said even with a spacer there it would snap the bolt on it so do the s3 drop links fit better or is there some way around this as its running now with no arb :( cheers guys

The droplinks do angle alot (standard links) unless you have coilovers with the tab you wont be able to use the 'correct' links.

I believe you need spacers and adjustable drop links.

your getting it because the S3 has a different hub set up and unless your coils have the bracket for the R32/S3 drop link you cant fit them.  look on E38 or ukmivs as there a picture of your problem and what the lad did to get round it. But the fix is more or less what you have been told.
