So, after a hot summer, B12 Bilstein Pro kit is going on next week. It is supposed to be complemented by a 034 Rear ARB but... Awesome do not, for some reason, sell 034 anymore and out of stock everywhere else.
I was about to order a 034 rear sway/arb but Awesome have stopped stocking 034 for some reason and everyone else, including 034 are out of stock. I agree £330 for a bar is a lot lot lot of money but this seems a very popular upgrade.
Hi meph, 034 and powerflex describe it as a ‘slop’ or something equally ‘not firm’. After having the mounts fitted, gearbox and diff,I’d say it just tightens up the transmission, especially when driving in sport/manual.
Hi Dippy, you may not have a clunk or slop on shifts but this is something that was there and now, with the 034 mounts, is not, so to those that have a slop, the 034 remains a thumbs up.
Thanks cerebra, will ask the google. £1150 is a good price for those, mine are badly kerbed but I am attracted to kerbs so have never taken the plunge, but also addicted to hp and that is an addiction regularly fed!
Hi cerebra, what made you go with meth, is there a thread on this as I have a ton of questions but know nothing....I have a revo 1+ on a b8, does meth just improve cooling or increase power ? Thanks
Yes, not 100% sold on the looks but the OEM paddles are, in my view, are an ergonomic miss and very unusual for Audi. Any other options any members have tried and actually like?
Hi, has anyone out there replaced their paddle shifts with these from ECS. They are a full replacement rather than a stick on, which personally I am not keen on.

Gearbox is crazy price and internet full of horror stories, or stories of knowing someone who knows someone. I bought mine with the box already relaxed, sacrificed colour and spec for peace of mind, and it cost the guy £9k !! If you get used to the power I can highly recommend a revo stage 1+ !
Hi, do you know if the royal wheel is thicker, more padding in the trim, I find the oem a bit too thin, and big, after coming from an e46 m3. The proper rs flat bottom looks great but for £200 I’m quite tempted.
Hi Ryanjons4, thanks, the dampers are at 125,000 hence the thoughts on Bilstein 16s. TC garage have also recommended KW street comfort.
Thanks Ian
Hi Xpoweruk, I had Bilstein b8 & eibach springs on my e46 m3 and they were excellent, so tempted with that set up.
The problem, or confusion comes...
Hi,
Revo have suggested bilstein b16 pss10 for my b8 S4 with Revo 1+ upgrade.
MRC suggested Eibach springs & H&R ARB's.
Do you guys have any other suggestions including spring & ARB combinations & your experience of the ride?
It must not be too hard as our family daily driver but needs to be...
