whiteline RS2 FARB possible purchase

[Rusty]

I'll start the ball rolling in the morning, aside from the benefit of it being adjustable (if that is what people require) it should also work out considerably cheaper than the RS2 FARB.

You could even offer them as a complete ARB kit with poly bushes etc.

Any more news on this one guys??

might be interested in this depending on the final price

Yes, there is lots happening behind the scenes.

We are looking at having a complete package available for the S2 Coupe and Avant.
When the original Whiteline Bar was first produced it was quite tiny (their words) as the technology wasn't as uptodate as it is today, so with all that learning we are looking at
a 26mm solid adjustable bar for the front and a 22mm hollow bar adjustable for the rear.
Timescale I cannot say as there are many discussions going back and forth and parts that are having to be sent around the world but we are working on a proper final adjustable solution for the B3/B4 S2 chassis but I will keep you all informed along the way.

Great news!!

I'm certainly interested in a complete package for a 3B Coupe!
Is this include all the fittings?

Thanks in advance Corey and keep us informed.

Do whiteline make springs (and shocks?) too - that could be interesting for you guys, a complete set of matched, stiffer lowering springs, with adjustable shocks, complete with adjustable upraded front and rear ARBs.
The S2 handling Kit.

I have got this reply from Jim at Whiteline. We need a car in Australia to test the bars. I can only think of Graham and his kingfisher S2

Hi Anton,

Thanks for thinking of us, I gather you're located in the UK?

We'd like to help but getting a vehicle out here is the problem as we need to see one to do the development work. Unfortunately its a little difficult to develop with out one.

I see that you have a number of interested supporters and we generally need a minimum of 25x units to get development done. However, we could try to get something done if you can help locate a car in Sydney Australia.

Thanks again for thinking of Whiteline

Cheers

He'd be the man alright... There are a couple of others I know of in the land down under...

Is the car needed for testing of prototypes ?

Surely if they have been supplied S2 and RS2 FARBs already they will know the shape to copy and the stiffness required in order to create a prototype bar.

Yes, the car is needed for testing. Who wants to be guinea pig for this one

[S2central.net]

I've sent PMs to three S2 owners down under - names withheld here. One car is in Queensland, the other two are in Melbourne - pretty darn close. FIngers X'd !!!

Im sure there must be one of our Aussie brothers who can take a hit for the team

Anyone know where i can get hold of a whiteline RARB?

[Rusty]

The front setup is the same for any Audi 80... depends what they need to test I suppose.

[Pembo]

Whilst on the subject of ARB's what is the easiest way of replacing the rear ARB. With the rally car I have to use standard looking parts. I have my old 26mm FARB as this has been replaced with 28mm RS2 and currently running with 400lb 2.5" adjustable coil over springs all round.
Your opinions and advice always welcomed.
Thanks
