URs6 Freshen Up

[b4Dan]

Yes I'm running the standard s6+ wheel with no spacers etc. I did read about the FARB relocation bracket, do you find it helps handling at all? Ir is it purely to stop the rub?

[Vorsprung durch Technik]

Some of us have a FARB relocation bracket / bush from LAbert fitted to alter the castor of the front suspension. I found it very good, well worth the cost and the effort of fitting it. I sorted out rubbing issues at the rear of my front wheel arches with 255/35/18 on an 8x18 Mk 1 S8 rim. It runs a spacer to alter the ET.

Just mentioned with a view to giving you some feedback on how I have my UrS6 arranged, it's used as a daily.

Best wishes.

Macspring,I've just bought the same set up in wheel and tyres you mention above but didn't realise you had problems with rubbing. As you know i have the same Albert mod to improve the handling so as i now know referencing you above, i will have to fit it if i'm going to run these wheels and tyres.Can you email some pictures of your car so i can see how it looks as i'm doing the same. If you like at the same time i could add a pic into the "Anyone wanting to share pics of their URS6" thread.

Both wishbones, Rear ARB and sub frame are all out now, will be giving a few bits a lick of paint before finishing the bushing install. Then put everything back together. Look forward to feeling the difference in the back end feel

Bit more done today, all bushes are now fitted sub-frame has been de-rusted and painted as has the rear ARB, the AkMotorsport stuff really is a work of art


Subframe and ARB are now bolted back up into the car, but I soon ran out of light again. More still to do

Nice work. You'll have to let us know how much different/better the handling is, with all with the polyurethane goodness that your car now has.

I'll definitely keep the updates coming, the equivalent on the front end will have to wait until funds allow but it'll all get done eventually
