ARB recommendation for AKE

[two left feet]

Evening all, just finished the Eibach B12 update and now looking at stopping the roll.
From a brief view through the forums, it seems RS6 back and Eibach front is the way to go. Noted that H&R have a full kit for the A6 4b C5, but saw no reviews anywhere. dont do an track work, but do enjoy a little fun around the hills where i live.

not sure about the A6, but on the B6 gen A4's, we only every swapped the RARB as the front was tight enough... and adding the RS4 RARB gave you a nice neutral to mildly over-steer balance.... as difficult as all hell to adjust the balance on a TDI, but very sweet if you nailed it right

1 vote RS rears.
i have a 2.5 TDi 4b C5 quattro with 265,000 kms so at the moment, i experience alot of roll - which i would like to dial out. saw alot of reference to the RS rears, which would be a good start. but i was looking (hoping) someone had experience with the H&R kit as it looks to be DIY. if i have to sort different bushes and brackets, i would have to had this over to a shop to do.

anyone else want to share their ARB setup?

cheers!

Front and rear rs6 ARB's are nice on my allroad...any more and it makes the car handle funny !

RS6 rear ARB on my A6 TDI Avant made a lot of difference and is easy to do - just keeps the rear a lot flatter and should have been fitted from the factory

As easy as the rear ARB if not easier...

Had a H&R front ARB at some point and the drop links bushes ripped to shreds in 6 months...

Thaks Chris, will find some RS6 ARBs then. As a DIY job, what do i need to look out for ? thanks!

 

[adamss24]

Make sure you spray plenty wd40 on the nuts that hold the ARB bushes and make sure you buy new bushes/drop links as well. Don't use an impact driver as the studs are easy to pop out from the alloy mounts ! Get a pair of axle stands if you cannot use a ramp/lift...

Thanks again for the advise, will post again when its done.
cheers

Finally went with the H&R ARBs, with new drop links. Feels great on my usual forest runs. Couldn't find the RS6 bars at a reasonable price.
Next step, A hybrid turbo and bigger nozzles from Chris......
