Hello all, Need new Farb and bushes, whats the best to use, how much and where from?.

I have a used one from an Avant if that's any good for you ? It's in very good shape, no rust, stored in dry place.

Are you after a replacement or an upgrade, Nik?

What RARB do you have?

[Rusty]

Stock front with Whiteline is nice, front 22-26mm on the rear works with stock front or RS2. HTH.

Yup, sorts the handling a treat

Front bushes are shot was wondering what to go for really, I believe it currently has a stock FARB.

[Rusty]

Stock is fine

Limited options up front, RS2 is about it and they're £250 new. Might get lucky on eBay.de but more than likely end up with an S2 bar

Suggest you give the current one a lick of paint and get either superflex or powerflex bushes and some RS2 drop links on there to tighten it up a tad.

Then spend the remaining £225 on a rear setup, there's the B3 22mm FARB (Error404), B4 22, 24, 25, 26mm FARBs (me) and the Whiteline RARB to choose from, check out the sticky in the chassis section. Only option that's not covered there is to take an FARB and cut it down to the same size as a RARB (this will make sense when you read the thread).

never heard of this before either in what way doe's it help. doe's it loose some of the under steer or just keeps the rear a bit more level. any links to a been there done that if it is a easy change i might make use of the spare front 3b one i have in the parents shed

[denniselbows]

forget that i just read the rest of your last post

[fish]

crap that i missed out on 3 S2 FARB,s for 35£ each the other day then..

[fish]

oh yeah another thing... is it a straight swap FARB on rear that is.

[Jamo]

I have a FARB from my old S2 coupe stuck in my garage

[Rusty]

To put an FARB on the rear you need to swap the struts left with right to relocate the drop links. It's all covered in the sticky in the chassis/suspension section.

Removes a lot of understeer, can be a little twitchy on track with lift-off oversteer (even a stock coupe suffers from this if provoked) but a small tweak to driving style gets it flowing nicely.

There are now 3 additional options to the Whiteline for the rear of a coupe, as detailed in the thread here.
