Trying to get in cpntact with dave pm wont go through and tried to add comment on thread but says it out of date I want some adjustable rear tie arms for my s3 8l and he seems to hav great reviews does any1 know if he still makes them
Red samurai made his Own out of oem tie bars, see his thread.Quite good examples . ....... Just another option
They are the same thickness Jo, the failed one was due to a seized rose joint he replaced them both..
Ahh yeah you got one of the earlier ones, different adjuster now so don't need to be as thick ...The SS ones you supplied me were massive Dave, Chris had the later powder coated ones, and they were thin! The xenon height sensor goes around his arms, on mine, I had to modify to fit.
Bit of a shame they can't be seen when they're on the car.
25ish mm I think, but don't quote me on that, plus it's the added stress put on standard arms.
So if you're dropping a MAXIMUM of 25mm you won't need these, but if you go beyond that you will?
Or is it that a 25mm drop is enough itself to require these?

The main issue is tyre wear, the more camber you run, the quicker the inner edges wear out on your tyres.
My experience is anything over a 25mm drop, then it's recommended you fit some.
It was mainly due to the hub joints seizingIsn't there also the issue of the OEM tie arms being under extra stress due to the incorrect camber, so therefore they would be more prone to break/snap when they are lowered more than about 25mm? Or am I chatting do do and getting my wires crossed?
