Any pics of RS2 rear ARB links?

[mcandmar]

Curious to see what the difference is, are they worth spending the extra money?

Cheers,

isn't the rod itself just a tad thicker? Or am i thinking of the front ones?

They are metal not plastic, bought mine from quattro corner after we thrashed out the correct part.

Essential if you are going to run a big RARB IMO.

S4 guys use them as upgrades as well

Oh, mine are metal so i guess there not the original ones.

Thanks,

Mark.

i think there are 3 versions, plastic, metal same shape as the plastic ones, and rs2.

i can post a pic of the first two later...

That's true of the Front ones, not heard the same for the rear what model of car does the metal non RS2 come from?

[Skull]

they were fitted on my compi. the part number is the same as the rs2 piece 8A0 i think, but the final letter is C not D, or something like that, i dont remember exactly.

will post pics later...

sorry dude i have just replaced both ARB's and drop links, front and rear, else i could have taken a picture for you...

as mentioned above the RS2 ones are a large diameter....

[Skull]

i read in some other thread that they are angled differently...

Curious, they look identical to whats fitted on mine. Quick part number check brings up..

8D0 505 465 - ARB Link Left S2
8D0 505 466 - ARB Link Right S2

8A0 505 465 D - ARB Link Left RS2
8A0 505 466 D - ARB Link Right RS2

Searching for 8A0 505 466 C in the parts system says it was dropped in 31/7/98 and replaced with 8D0 505 465. Smells like the cost cutters replaced them with the plastic versions.

Anybody got pics of the others?

[Skull]

i can only take the pic of the plastic ones. im interested to see the rs2 pieces too. the cost is 75€ one piece, so i expect them to be made of titan and covered with diamonds.

[mcandmar]

Exactly, thats why i want to know as the S2 versions are only about €40 each. But if there plastic i dont want em.

Pic of the plastic one would be good, more out of curiosity than anything else
