    Front end low after shocks replaced

    It usually does unless the rubber mounts are squashed, or you get smaller top mounts to get it lower haha, tbh mine aren’t flush and it’s not causing any issues. Quattro models have different rear suspension and I think the drop links hook up to the shock rather than the arm. Not sure if...

    You can get shallower strut tops (that metal bit) I believe? Which would nip that down. Did you change the springs to lowering ones? What car is it S3 or A3? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    Update So it’s had a good 200+ miles since bolting up, and I’d recommend this upgrade to anyone, the handling difference is incredible, I can’t say what has done what to be honest as it was all done together, but the 25mm roll bar with polybushes is keeping it flat on hard corners. I zigzagged...

    Rear ARB install A3

    In your opinions, is it worth doing? I’ve got a TT front end setup with a nuespeed 25mm front bar and 40mm lowering springs. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    Rear ARB install A3

    Hey, What’s the best way to install a rear ARB on an A3 FWD? I’ve seen kits for rear beams where the bushes hook onto it and you get longer bolts so they link up with the rear shocks. Is there a fitting kit available from anyone that I can just fit a stock s3/TT rear bar to? Thanks, Dan...

    I’m so excited to get it all fitted up, the track rod situation caught me off guard though! Had no idea they made a thicker one! Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    I’m going to have to buy new rods/ends now [emoji17] the ones on the a3 won’t fit as the thread is 14mm instead of the 16mm quickrack ones. TT spindles are sorted now, new hubs and bearings with the multipoint nut to match my driveshaft [emoji1303] Almost there! Here’s what the setup is...

    Just to add, I’ve checked the rack ends on the quickrack I have and it is 16mm so what’s the differences? Because I also got the shocks off that car Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
