Just purchased this:

http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/AUDI-TT-MK1-S3-FRONT-ANTI-ROLL-BAR-ARB-/221277761231?ViewItem=&ssPageName=ADME%3AX%3ARTQ%3AGB%3A1123&item=221277761231&nma=true&si=u4nyopubZnMJEph8jy7%252BThytpf0%253D&orig_cvip=true&rt=nc&_trksid=p2047675.l2557

And these:

Anything else needed for my setup running on JOM coilovers if I want to go all the way down?

Read as many threads as I could find and none of them have a definitive answer about spacers for the ARB and if there needed.

Help would be appreciated.

If you have bought the TT arb, you will require spacers, as it's 2inches too short (iirc). Simply take the metal tubes out of your existing droplinks, as they are an inch in length, and space it out perfectly :wink:

You will obviously need longer bolts though, to accommodate the spacers!

Without spacers...

And this is what it should look like with the spacers fitted...

There was a thread on here a week or so ago that said you need to use spacers if you staying with the standard wishbone. Look on the vortex there's a very good 'how 2' on making the spacers. I think you need spacers as the under the shafts ARB isn't as long as the standard over the shafts ARB.
