Rich, as seen in Andy's pic, the A3 Quattro and S3 have the ARB's attach UP onto the strut via droplinks /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/crazy.gif Due to this, the shape is different as well. Sice the FWD models attach down to the control arm, the ARB curves around and down, whereas the S3/A3Q doesn't /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/crazy.gif

Not the greatest pic, but here you can see the droplink connect to the ARB behind the front caliper:

And here's a pic of the FWD (Golf) ARB setup from the ECS site:

Hope it helps some /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/beerchug.gif

Drill,

There is only one pic in the above post...

So what exactly does the ARB on the quattro attach to? bottom part of the shock?

Which pic doesn't show?? I see both /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/confused.gif

The Quattro ARB attaches to the droplink, which attaches about halfway up the Strut. /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/beerchug.gif
