That one will do the job...probably. If I were you I'd buy an ARB that goes underneath the drive shafts, that way you can go as low as you want. You may still get the odd knock here and there if you go real low  :undecided:

Have seen a few for sale in classifieds here and there, try other forums classifieds...Sure I saw one on ED38 the other day.  :smiley:

You have read it correctly! But what I am saying is that if you get one that goes underneath then you will no isses/worries EVER no matter how low you go  :cool:

I'm thinking belt and braces. Underneath D/S and you won't be disappointed. :smiley:

Defo have a scout around though...No need to buy a brand new one I'd say :smiley:

they just have bigger hoops but I have seen feedback from people saying they still catch.

If you want a cheaper option find an Octavia vRS breaking and get the ARB off that  :wink:

all of the above apart from the Skoda ARB will need adjustable drop links to allow them to fit as they should be using the longer droplinks that bolt to the struts but the Golf doesn't have the provision for this
