    So far have ordered the 28mm superflex mounts for upfront, front RS2 drop links, am still deciding on where to purchase, possibly from quattro corner if Pete has available. RS2 FARB I'm getting from someone on the forum
    Just check that they will fit. The suspension setup on the rear of an avant is quite different to a coupe so I assumed that the drop links could easily be different and therefore not fit. I am probably wrong but it's worth checking.

      S2 front droplinks are the same length as RS2 ones, but RS2 ones are made of thicker steel. So S2 ones work just fine.
      The coupe rear droplinks are totally different to RS2 ones, so stick with the original coupes ones.

        I recently put a 25mm coupe FARB on the rear of my 90 with swapping the rear struts around and using shortened front droplinks.


        I cut 30mm out of them and threaded the ends and just joined them. At full droop the original drop links touched the wishbone.

          Cheers guys, got in touch with camskill, and will require 12 weeks for the RARB to arrive

          Any other options?

                I have sourced mine rear farb from deamon tweaks.
                My setup is RS2 front and rear whiteline. It Is simply perfect, without whiteline lots of understeer
                Due to different lenght of suspension I have shortened droplinks from bmw m3 e30 series. No modification nescessary.

                  You could do what I did and get one made up to whatever size desired at a similar cost to the Whiteline

                      I run a 32mm bladed Ford Escort wrc tarmac bars on my car and the handling is superb. Perfect balance between under and over steer.
