    25mm F&R S3 bars

    speaking of taking the ****, worst quote I got for shipping was $1000! (that's just the shipping, from the states). Managed to get that down to $100 from another USA supplier, WTF!? I'd like to do the engine Sam, but I'm hardly ever here and she just sits in the garage most of the time. my car...

    25mm F&R S3 bars

    okay, so we have all gone off topic a bit.. Me talking about southern hemisphere logistics on a UK site, you guys talking about R32 ARBs ;) 1.Has anyone tried them? No 2.Is 25mm too much? Much debate, yes, no, maybe for road, don't know? This could be a good setup, but it's a lot of money to...

    25mm F&R S3 bars

    I wanted whiteline as that looked the best option if changing front and rear and from Oz - so by far the cheapest option for me too, but they have stopped making them for our cars (spoke to whiteline directly today and they aren't updating, finished). I was told that there is still remaining...

    25mm F&R S3 bars

    Jason, I like your style:rockwoot:This is exactly the reason why I like this forum. 22f would be good, but I know it'd cost me stupid money and a long time to get a factory part - annoying. 25f/r would be good to try out if no one's done it. Too much for one day, we'll see if I've grown a...

    25mm F&R S3 bars

    Thanks for all the input guys. My head says go H&R, proportionally stiffer with some adjustment. For the sake of science, I would've loved to go 25f/r, but something tells me its not a good idea (maybe the fact it's meant for racing, not commuting?), especially with the rear seats out ;) cheers

    25mm F&R S3 bars

    Jason, I went to VW service about 5 years ago for an R32 rear and they said it was 16mm (don't remember, but smaller than 19mm) and they had to order it from Germany and it cost roughly the same as an aftermarket one, so aftermarket end up being the same price once bushes are included. 23f/25r-...

    25mm F&R S3 bars

    only about 250 came here. half are probably crashed by now, some probably from stupid arb setups. Plenty of TTs and golfs though. The noise from the front is terrible, so has to be fixed asap. Neuspeed 25f/r or H&R25/21 adjustable? I'll order tomorrow, then post my experiences when installed

    25mm F&R S3 bars

    Thanks Superkarl, that's why I added my suspension setup and wouldn't be considering 25f/r if I had coilovers for a daily. Maybe I should give it a go... won't be cornering like an icecream van ever again, but might need a kidney belt.

    25mm F&R S3 bars

    daz-20vt: I saw the 19mm rear, but couldn't find a 21mm front, which would be perfect. maybe discontinued? Neuspeed aren't adjustable, so 25f/19r doesn't seem like a good option. H&R are 25f/21r 2 point adjustable, so maybe the best option so far? front set at soft, rear at hard... might make...

    25mm F&R S3 bars

    S3 dave: Australian R32's had a 16mm rear ARB (I believe) and stealership prices are comparable to proper suspension manufacturers, which are adjustable and come with poly bushes. Tufty: I'm a long-time reader, but not much of a contributor which is why the 25mmFR setup made sense (matches the...

    25mm F&R S3 bars

    Has anyone tried the Neuspeed 25mm F&R ARB setup? They call it race-spec, but I'm more interested in them because they are equal diameters and no other manufacturer does equal front and rears. I placed an order with whiteline for the adjustable 25F/24r, but they just phoned me to say they're...

    42 Draft 225 3" Street Series Downpipe

    I was worried about the LHD/RHD issue, but it went into my car today very easily and no apparent clearance issues, I'm very happy with it. The only problem was taking the old OEM one out... that was a PITA.
