Kevin Bacon 5 Posted May 15, 2006 Yeah the H&Rs are good. They even have special fit and forget poly bushes that don't need any lubing. Are they 25mm rear and 21mm front as per the Eibachs? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
olly elworthy 0 Posted May 15, 2006 25 rear and 22 front kev,, If you are feeling brave you can also get 25 front and 28 rear,, but seeing as mine is mainly a road car with the occasional nurburgring trip i went for the 22/25 combo,, and i am very very impressed with them!! know what you mean about the bushes they have like a funny webbing on the bearing faces,, Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

All I remember is it's not as wild as the 25mm Neuspeed front bar I had! 25 really is silliness on a road car and not only that, it barely fits and rubs on the floor anyway! I think the standard size is about 18 isn't it? 28 and 25 works well on the MK4 though :-) Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

W3RKD 0 Posted May 16, 2006 It looks like they use a 21.5 ARB so you could be correct in your thinking OLLY Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Niges16V 0 Posted May 16, 2006 What was that bit about not being for coilovered cars? Is it cos uprated arb's don't work correctly if car lowered too much, or is it a specific to the H&R? Mine's a VR6 with FK Konigs, but only lowered about an inch to avoid the 4x4 look, shouldn't be a problem should it?? Just need another 2 peeps then :) Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
W3RKD 0 Posted May 16, 2006 The list differnt applications for coilover's cars its nothing to do with the ride height as far as i know its down to the diameter of the strut Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

.A.N.T. 0 Posted May 16, 2006 Could anyone exlplain, just briefly, what an uprated ARB would do to the handling of my valver...? Cheers... :) Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Blue_Joe 0 Posted May 16, 2006 It tightens up the car, reducing the roll in the car body when you corner and therefore improving handling and steering responsiveness. Hence the name Anti ROLL Bar Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ben16v 0 Posted May 16, 2006 how easy/difficult are these to fit? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Blue_Joe 0 Posted May 23, 2006 Come on guys and girls - Is no-one up for a group buy here??????? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Niges16V 0 Posted May 23, 2006 I was, but the VR price is not as exciting as the G60! and changing the bushes takes priority. Bit disapointed really as this is a 'must' upgrade by all acounts! Maybe later in the summer. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
