Doesnt take long to change them at all. It is possible to do both of the ARB's without needing to jack the car up, Providing the undertray isnt on the front.

Hi Dan, No I just replaced the rear for now. I payed about £101 ish as I wanted the adjustable one. You can get the fixed one for about £96. Took about 20 mins to fit and didn't change the droplinks as they were fine. HTHOriginally posted by dan_b

The ARBs should be changed with all four wheels on the ground. It usually helps to pull up to the edge of a curb or something similar to give you access under a lowered car.Originally posted by Greg_SJoe "NoNonsense"

yeah, When I did mine. I fitted to the drop links then with the car on the ground attached them to subframe so they wouldnt twist.

I think I'm talking myself around to doing both ARBs... And here was me thinking that 2005 would be the Year of No Mods. Well I can justify it by saying that the ARBs needed replacing anyway, so it's part of the normal maintenance replacement schedule...Ex S2 owner, now running around in an A4 Avant quattro...

Just leave the tightening of the arb to subframe clamps to the phase when the car is on the ground and that's it.
I'm planning to get the whiteline item at spring when I'm upgrading the suspension. Mainly because you all seem to love it. I hope it's not a disapointment then

I'd order it now then: just phoned Demon Tweeks and got the "it's got to come in on a container from Australia" response, meaning a delivery time of at least 8 weeks

Oh, and the RS2 FARBs are on back-order from Germany!
Doesn't look like I'll be doing my ARBS at the Garage meet then...Ex S2 owner, now running around in an A4 Avant quattro...Comment

Dan im pretty sure the retail cost of the FARB from main dealer is about the same as that from VAGParts, have you tried a dealer? As i assume the back order thing was with DT?Ant

@Steve - blimey, you did well there! Did they say to you that they had it in stock when you ordered it, or were you given the whole "on a container from Australia" line as well?
I'm worried by the RS2 FARB situation now: VAG Parts said they had been on back order since November 2004 - anyone know what's going on?Ex S2 owner, now running around in an A4 Avant quattro...Comment
