Best place to buy an ARB
« on: 13 January 2011, 20:08 »
Alrite fellas, just wanted to know wheres best for buying an uprated ARB? with it being lowered roughly 70-80mm i am looking to buying one with the loop to save the driveshaft being re-done within a matter of time i guess. So wheres best to buy these?

Cheers, Craig.

Probably a neuspeed from awesome gti. I'm still tryin to save for the 28mm rear beast. Their guaranteed not to rub on the front as I've heard that some whiteline do and eibach don't have the 'big loops' and FK are pretty pony.....

I'm about to fit an R32 arb from vw onto mine and will be using adjustable droplinks with it.

The R32 one is the same as the TT but thicker (23mm) and runs under the driveshaft to eliminate the driveshaft/arb fight. And using adjustable droplinks I can attach the arb to my standard gti wishbones.
