Shortened drop links or audi tt arb?
« on: 13 October 2011, 18:59 »
As the title suggests I am going lower (mk4 1.8t) with coilovers and was wandering what people experience with shortened droplinks are?

I've heard to use hyundai coupe 05< drop links as they are shorter....

or whether its worth biting the bullet and getting the audi tt front arb?

Cheers

Not sure yet as i want it sitting flush but have quite wide 18'' monza's... but am thinking of putting 17's on so want the option to go lower... so im guessing 45-55mm to start give or take?

bite the bullet with tt arb then u wont need to worry how low u go  :wink:

True true, with the tt arb will i have to order the audi tt coilovers? ive heard they're the same as the mk4 but have the extra hole for the arb on the shock? (am new to all this  :grin:)

You can use the TT arb and use your normal droplinks, attatch it where it normally goes on your wishbones...

I've just had a look under the car, does the audi tt arb knock against the wish bones? also i just phoned audi and they said there are 4 different ones! :huh: does anybody know the part number for the right one by chance?
