What are the brackets on the rear struts? They are on the opposite side to the caliper... never seen this. Custom??

Nice progress!

They was welded on buy the previous owner for drop links for the rear anti roll bar .

My old 80 quattro has a 26mm ARB too, I doubt it's from RS2 though.

[jsws3]

I never stripped the car down acidburn did it for me but as I said its a 26mm dia arb .

The car it came off was rs2 converted so as quattronutter told me it was 26mm I automatically assumed its rs2 item.

I would like to see about the links too.

When you order front arb bushes there are at least 2 and possibly three different diameters, and also different styles of bushes depeding upon year for the factory fit one.

i'd be interested in seeing how as the rs2 drop links go upwards onto the strut, urq one's go thru the front wishbone.

Any pics?

[jsws3]

It does as when I was ordering the front arb Pete reves said measure the diameter of the front bar so I did and he told me its not a ur one its a rs2 front bar .

[URquattroGus]

The front is a rs2 item and the rear is a ford focus mk1 front anti rollbar with the brackets welded on to suit .

And it's not to thick and does the job perfectly mate .

Does the RS2 Front bolt on?

[jsws3]

Not to bad, think i am going to pick the front up by 10mm as the front looks a little to low in comparison to the rear..

Upload some pics mate .

[DJones]

I think your right mate silly of me to say I don't know haha .

How's your sitting now ?

For what it costs its perfect just not sure to use a brace on it or not.

I would John, the more strength the better. All that heat and circa 3 bar of boost will take its tole...
