Grrr... p*ssing droplinks

[Dave_IOW]

cheers mate, just what i was after, and bar looks like its roughly in the same place mine needs to be. Does it still rub atall? Think mine might be cranked to far round and now rubbing on the rear side of shaft.. Although its just in place by the bushes at the min

His one still does but he runs FK-AK's which are more bouncy and he is lower than me. But it has improved in comparison over the stock plastic ones. Mine no longer catch but I never shortened mine by that much. I also found my my drivers wheel was hooking the pancake bypass pipe, till I went FMIC. Best option is to change the ARB depending on height and bounce.

Whiteline FTW

yeah im FK AK too, wondering if its going to be better to just stick the TT one back in..

If you got access to ramps and compare the two see how the geometry is effected. With my mechanic we found the shorter it was the further away the hoop/arch's tip of the ARB moved away from the driveshaft. Not a great improvement as in turn it pulled the hoop/arch down as well, obviously the stiffness of the springs/dampeners is a big factor too in terms off contact.

Prob better off saving for some ARB like whiteline etc and using this as a temporary fix  It's a hard choice, whats the clearence between your wheel and arch like, mines about 20-25mm. Might be worth a little crank up.

[Dave_IOW]

about 10mm i suppose, thats why might go to TT bar again, goes under driveshaft..

Yeah, thats what i noticed, you shorten the droplink to give more clearance, then the back starts hitting! Pain in the arse!

Think im just too low without going really big hooped bar (H&R but bo**ocks to their prices) or just stick TT one back on..

[golf-sib]

oh you got the tt ARB, whack that on it seems like a no brainer 

[Dave_IOW]

yeah, got a decent deal on 2 newish eibach's and thought as was thicker, would make me go round corners quicker but has only ever caused me problems   

Subframe back off again then i suppose
