    Just had a look back through my pictures and I had mine fitted the week before yours on the 23rd August 2007. How mad is that?

      Hi there,

      Good thread btw,

      Just wondering if you got the brake vibration sorted? Mine is terrible at the moment. I think it's a wheel bearing but before I send it in for replacement I thought I'd check to see if there were any other quick fixes.

        Not sorted it as of yet but i still think it my discs as when i'm slowing down i can feel it on grip even more as i roll up to a set of lights. So plan is to get them skimed and see how it s then, if that doesn't work i'll replace them. Plus i've got some porsche shims on there way for the pads.

              This is the RARB that i fitted and it is the best thing i've done on the car so far even with stock springs and shocks.
              While i was replacing the RARB thought i might as well put all new fixxings,I replaced the drop links as i where advised about them for the next MOT.
              Collection of bits i needed

                Been a while, but a few things have changed.........................................a little.

                I bought some seats from Shark 90 and his homefried ECU which is amazing now i have sorted my major boost leak out. Along with that i have just ordered a full set of rear powerflex poly bushes, i have had the fronts for a while. These's will be all fitted at the same time,just have to get the rear arms powder coated, i have bought all brand new bolts and nuts from quattro corner along with new ball joints. The overall of the arms has cost me in and around the £300 mark before fitting

                I have upgraded the ICE as well. Only the front dash speaker were working and one tweater in the rear. So i went and bought a Alpine ida-x001 head unit. I have put in Alpine Type-R components in the rear doors run of a JBL GTO 4 channel amp(details to follow) and i'm running a Vibe active 10" sub which to be fair sound quite good. I'm yet to decide which front speakers i'm going for, thinking Focal 4" mids? I have use two Vibe amp wire kits which are really good, they come with quick release clamps so i can take out the sum and amp in a few mins.

                I also have a set of S4 rear calipers on there way for a little upgrade. I'm using Audi TT225 vented rear discs redrilled to 5x112 and everything else is just kinda a bolt on. So in the next few weeks i should have a good handbrake and good rear brakes

                This has all happened in the last 6 week so i think i'm going to hold back on the spending for a little bit now:mischeif: untill i see something i like and want. As you can see i have quite a few things to be getting on with, not bad going for only a 6 week worth of buying and upgrading

                      If you get stuck on the re drilling i'm sure my stepdad will know someone upto the task
                      If i see any recaros,you will be the first to know

                          Yes please can you confirm which exact model number it is please? I know the S4 bar is a straight fit on the Avant but wondering which whiteline number is being installed.

                            I'm not 100% sure what the code for the antiroll bar is but Code 13 sound like it,it's the B5 S4 TT 19mm whiteline bar. I will have a look through the paper work i have and see if i can get the info on it for you boys.

                                It is bar 13, if you look really close at the first pic at the left side of the bar there is a sticker on it saying BAR13 where it is poking out of the bag.I also check my photos on Photobucket and on the laptop. So i hope this helps?
