      hi, I just tried to order the rear whiteline from the usa distributor and they told me they are back ordered pending redesign/re-engineer. that just seemed weird to me, have there been bar failures?

          NOOO! I want one as it is

          the 650/750 lb'ers certainly help with body roll. I don't want too thick of a rear bar

            Small rear roll bar won't do much with springs that stiff!

              I just want to play with the 3 position adjustable to help me make a custom bar at some point

              ive changed the suspension setup around quite a bit, raised the strut tops 2"F and 2.5"R, and also moved the fronts rearward ~2". also building custom subframes and longer, more inboard c-arms with relocated pickup points, and relocated front and rear tie rods. 7" 650lb front with hyperco helpers and genesis dividers. as well as needle roller bearings and washers where the spring sits on the perch and top hat. 8" 750lb rears with all the same stuff as the front.

              so im starting back out with the 650's front and 750's rear, no sway bar at first, but I want to get a hold of one(adjustable preferred) to test/tryout

                It sounds to me like you want to build yourself some knife blade bars

                  where do I source one, I was leaning that way eventually as its much more tunable

                    I think you buy the blades and make the rest - I guess you will need to do some research / calcs on the stiffness range that you require. There are a few people on the forum who have done this, Terrybullwon is one for sure.
                    Maybe they can point you in the right direction

                          Hello everyone.
                          I've read quite a bit over the top and I have some doubts.
                          - Avant/Berlina rear ARB not serves on a Coupe, right?
                          - The rear ARB from a A4 B5 quattro serves for an Avant or Berlina, right?

                          Is that I have the two ARBs of a RS2 and I was thinking of buying the Whiteline rear and sell the RS2 with Powerflex fixings.
