PM sent mcgee9t2. Anywho i had problems with the TT arb i never bought adjustable drop links with it tho just asumed it would be ok with the standard ones. The garage still fitted it anyway and apparently they had to fit the TT droplinks to go with it but still had major rubbing issues. I bought the whiteline arb and the whiteline droplinks, quite a heafty price tag for just a metal bar and droplinks but i think its really worth it and peace of mind that there will be no more rubbing issues and can go as low as the coilies can take just have to watch out for pot holes and mainly any form of rough road surface  :grin: or itll be new sump time which it nearly had to be the other day when i forgot about how low i was and decided to start driving down a lane lol

you wont need adjustable drop links and if you can get tt arb for that second hand price take it cos they going for double that and they about £85 new from dealer depending on how much dealer wants to rip you off  :wink:

why wont you need adjustable drop links??? and i got my audi TT 19mm from car transplants for £18 http://www.car-transplants.co.uk/

the price is the price simples really no more no less, you must be a moron to pay over the odds at a dealers, and YOU DO need adjustable drop links to fit the TT/S3/LCR/R32 ARB it cannot be fitted with normal mk4 golf drop links as the angle of the drop link is different!

I thought it was aload of waffle at the time aswel mate i used the same garage to fit my whiteline arb and i got a phone call from them saying "The arb is no good that uv bought even with the whiteline droplinks its still rubbing" - and at this point i couldnt believe what they were saying, i was just about to put the phone down and i said "have you fitted it under driveshaft or ontop" (slight pause) "ermm underneith :rolleyes:" - then told them to read the bloody instructions that came with it and said "IT FITS ONTOP ON THE DRIVESHAFT"

I'm still to this day wondering what they did actualy do when they fitted the TT arb - but they did say the standard links wont work because there at a funny angle :undecided: god knows tbh!
