Hi mate. Iv always had my adjustable drop links from veedubmachine.co.uk for about £20. I have always ended up fitting arb with bigger hoops also as still rubs even though not stupidly low. Best thing iv found to do if your leaving standard arb on is to remove the lock nut from the adjustable links and wind them as small as they go as silly as it sounds as you get more clearance lol

yup, contrary to popular belief, adjustable drop links do not stop the rubbing issue at all.

Best solution is to run an S3/TT/LCR front arb which goes under the shaft and can be bought for less than £50, then mount these to your existing drop links using slightly longer bolts and a few washers / spacers to keep the drop link vertical and save wearing out the bushes.

phoned up my local Audi shop and the ARB is now at £80ish includes VAT

is that brand new? that's cheap!

I was actually referring to second hand ebay prices, but if they're only £80ish from the dealer I'd do that!

Nice find mate :)

I don't need any of that kit matey, I've got a full R32 front end setup with eibach R32 bar and drop links.

What I meant was, if I had the choice between a second hand bar at £50 and a new one at £80, i'd take the new one myself.
