The Ultimate B7 Rear End Refresh Parts Guide

[Bradderz_1988]

As some of you may be aware ive recently done a rear end refresh to my B7 DTM going with aftermarket Verkline bushings etc etc

Now some people may want to renew some life in there B7 but not compromise the OEM drivability and feel as most our cars will be our daily’s.

So ive done some digging into OEM equivalent equipment mainly Meyle components were possible to make a ‘Ultimate’ part listing for the B7 now some of these parts will apply to standard/sports suspension cars and also Quattro/FWD cars but it should cover all B7 but please take it with a pinch of salt, some of these parts did say they wasn’t applicable to my car but i have used part numbers from another source and also Autodoc which is a relatively cheap parts supplier and ive never had issues.

Here is the list if anyone feels i have missed any components i will do my best to add them to the thread.

I highly recommend doing this with any B7 wether it be the OEM or Polybush route and id strongly recommend upgrading the rear sway bar i went with the 034 and all i can say is now its all on and fitted is WOW !!!!

Thanks for making it a sticky also

The rear arb upgrade is a very worthwhile investment, it really makes a big difference, what type of arb one chooses is a personal preference but the upgrade is very worthwhile investment.
I was fortunate to have the larger RS4 arb factory fitted from new so I can’t say from experience how much the improvements is over the standard arb, but, my old bus handles really spot on and always has done so I can say , if you haven’t upgraded, do it , you won’t look back.
