Title: debating arbs
Post by: 1.8Tgolf_Chris on 08 July 2014, 22:26

Really getting annoyed with the arb rubbing on D/S but dont really want the job of fitting another one got no motivation to fit it as it was such a b!tch to fit new arb bushes not so long ago, and then its a fact of having the subframe aligned once u fit the new arb?

Now my misses is driving, my car wont be used as often so im thinking lowering it a further 20mm and just sack off the arb  :smug:
The roads where I live i rarely go over 30mph let alone highspeed corners so i doubt ill notice without one, decision to make

I've gone from a cut arb to TT bar which has made a noticeable difference - seems a lot more stable when making fast directional changes and much sharper turn in although had a full wheel alignment done soon after.

down about 70/80mm and on flat smooth roads handling is epic however all is different on country roads with plenty of camber and not in a good way  :grin:
