When you do the lowering, will you put in spacers too?

I can't remember if you've already done it...

Might do spacers yeah... forgot those! Not lowered yet. Lots of folks on here are obsessed by coilovers but I'm not sure!

There's always something to add to the list, innit?

Whiteline rear ARB pics

Well I thought I would post some pics of the Whiteline rear ARB that I fitted earlier this week! We all know what they look like but I'm proud of my handy work. As you can see its set to medium firmness but I think I will have a go at firm next week!

 

[Damoegan]

Get it on the stiffest setting, Mike

Latest pictures

I went for a little drive after school today. There is a great windy road near me called "Little Switzerland" just up from the village of Sheet (Hampshire). I did a couple of runs up and down this great twisty road to test out the newly fitted ARB! Well I'm very impressed with the ARB and its only on medium too! Comments welcome...

I will do next week I think! Well impressed though... what a great bit of kit. Can't believe the difference it makes, I have so much more confidence in the car now. But them I am preaching to the converted aren't I?

Those are swaybar endlinks and come as part of the kit.

That's my neighbour's Golf GTi 1.8T. He has recently refurbed his wheels in matt black and has done the centre caps too! They look great in contrast to the reflex silver of the car. Something I'm thinking of doing

I think it would look good - powercoated wheels!

To adjust the arb, do you just move it up a whole so to speak?

are the swaybar endlinks under the rear struts? they look much more dirty compared to the arb.
